animal cruelty

Saw this story on AOL.
Picture 1: Sir Idiot tries to domesticate a wild animal by beating it. Now think which creature is more wild, the man or the the cub, how about someone knocks him upside the head over and over again so that he can be domesticated. It appears that he is more primitive that even the cubs. Picture 2: the cubs are tied to a fence, their mother died and the owner bought them off poachers. ( Question ,why are there still poachers?)

In a nutshell : This fool of a restaurant owner in Ethiopia forces the cubs to fight so that he can amuse the village kids. U.S. troops ["...The Djibouti-based task force provides intelligence-gathering help to countries in the region, tries to bolster cooperation and border protection, and mounts humanitarian projects aimed at improving the U.S. military's image among Muslims."] found the animals, the one on the right is blinded and gave them medical care and offered to fly the cubs back to errrrr SAFETY, but the absolute idiot refuses to let the cubs go. Please do note: there are wild life laws there but somehow this muddleheaded moron is above them???? No man we gotta keep our image up and be nice to this idiot even if he is the bigger animal (ignore literal meaning).
He utterly refuses to hand them over unless he is paid. I cannot believe that animals like this (NOT THE CUBS, think restaurant owner) exist. This unbelievable moron has an opportunity to turn the cubs in so that they can get medical treatment and do something good (probably for the first time in his life) and he refuses. He has no at all respect for the animals. My suggestion slap the stupid idiot and take the animals from him, there is a wildlife law after all in Ethiopia, so uphold the damn thing! Or wait when we say wildlife , do they mean protect the idiots?
I saw a poster up in school once which showed a pic of a man beating an animal and it said if he can do this he can also do this ---> the other pic showed him beating his family.
Yeah there is animal cruelty all over the world, but how about at least spare these two? You cannot change anything unless if someone tries right?
yeah yeah yeah, I used harsh language, so what? obviously diplomacy has failed with this fool so lets do things in a way he understands.
