The act of causing bodily pain, suffering, or death to an animal—typically a tamed one—beyond what is required for proper punishment is known as animal abuse or animal cruelty. It can involve egregious neglect, such as depriving an animal of food and water to the point where it suffers, dies, or is at grave risk of dying.

Abuse of animals may be a part of domestic violence or a prelude to abuse and violence against people. Like shared children, family pets are frequently the target of abusers who use them as a means of controlling and dominating their partner by threatening, hurting, or tragically even killing cherished animals.

The OP of today's story got her first Airsoft gun from her dad since she was begging him to get her one so she could play. OP's aunt finds out, and she then texts her, asking if she could borrow it.

The OP requested to know why, only to find out the aunt wanted to get involved in animal cruelty. According to her, there are some stray dogs, and she wants to shoot them because they might tear up the garbage.

Of course, the OP refused to let her have the gun, and she never heard from the aunt again. The full story lies below, and you can keep scrolling down to read it in full.

The OP added this edit saying:

Airsoft guns shoot plastic BB’s. They can break skin if shot close enough and if your gun is really powerful. Other than that, they just hurt like hell.

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to chirp into the story

What a nice aunt the OP has there

This Redditor wants to know if the OP's still in contact with the aunt

This Redditor knows that sometimes dogs need a lesson

This Redditor doesn't understand why OP's aunt would want to do that

This Redditor reveals what's funny to them

Funny thing is, I don’t doubt you could kill some one with an airsoft gun. I used to have a sniper which I upgraded to shooting .2 bb at 600 fps. I never used it in match cuz it’s way overpowered but I tested in range.

Every single bb which hit the rock 10 meters away from me shredded into pieces(and I was using one of the best bbs you can get). Imagine how would that go if those pellets hit a dogs head, or even right in the eye.

This Redditor says the OP should shoot at the aunt instead

I'm definitely pitying the dogs too

People can be very mean

The dogs are wanted off the property

Dosing stray dogs with water

Demands for animal welfare suggest that animals have a right to be free from extreme brutality, which sows the notion that animals are more than just machines or commodities. They might serve as a springboard for the recognition of complete animal rights in this way.

OP's aunt was totally wrong in trying to engage in animal cruelty, and Redditors were glad the OP didn't let her borrow her gun.
