newbee,

I’m surprised that you called what the dentist did wrong and cruel and then say people cant point out that its wrong and cruel.

I certainly would not call the dentist’s experience as simply people pointing out that it’s wrong and cruel.

I will say publicly condemned instead of shamed, if that makes you feel better.

Then you would be wrong, because what happened to the dentist was far more than public condemnation of his behavior.

Behaviors that are bad and cruel (as YOU said they were) and lead to the further endangerment of species SHOULD be publicly condemned.

I agree, except that was not what happened to the dentist. And you’re conflating species conservation with animal cruelty – two very separate issues. Would you be less “outraged” if he had hunted a basset hound?
