It's of course hypothetical, and I think, totally within reason, it's a thread about animal abuse.
It's one of the problems we run into when speaking up against animal abuse, people call us extreme when we are really just being up front about what happens in reality.

I try to keep it civil and respond matter of fact and explain but it can be hard when you get so much toxicity thrown back at you, all because you stand up against animal cruelty.
