Animal Cruelty or Not
This story may upset many of you, therefore we have to keep the interviewee's name anonymous for her protection.
An animal doctor of 22 years is coming under some high heat for a new book that she is writing titled "Do Animals Have Souls". The book's premise deals with the question of whether or not animals have souls, but the way in which the doctor is doing her research on the topic may land her in jail.
"The only way in which I can truly find out if an animal has a soul is to look into an animals eyes while they are suffering or dead. I will not be able to write about something I do not know unless I go the extra mile to find out".
Doctor "X", which we will call her to protect her identity, has been torturing and killing animals of all species in order to do her research, but claims that she has to look into the eyes of a dying animal to see if it has a soul, "It breaks my heart to do my research, but if I didn't do it correctly then the world would never know which animals were created by God and which ones were not."
Way Weird Editor: "Please give us an example of your research techniques."
Doctor "X": "For example, I have discovered that cows do not have souls. I have looked into the eyes of a living cow, a dying cow, and a dead cow, and in all three instances each cow had the same emotional expression in their eyes. Here is a photo of me sitting down studying the eyes of a cow that is hanging upside down above me. Unfortunately I had to first starve the cow and then slice it's jugular artery. The cow's eyes appeared to have no emotional influence in them while it was starving and then dead. This proves that cows are not worthly of a soul. Now that's too bad."

Way Weird Editor: "What animals have souls?"
Doctor "X": "Cats and dogs do have souls. In one study with a canine I studied his eyes for a five day period, and each day his eyes showed a different sense of emotion. So to prove my findings I put the dog to sleep by kindly executing the creature with a gun shot to its head. Within moments of the canine being deceased I saw that it's eyes showed an emotion of understanding and forgiveness for what I had done to it. This is not easy reasearch, but must be done."
Way Weird Editor: "You do understand that many people will find your research tactics to be cruel and unusual. How do you feel about all of the heat that you'll be under?"
Doctor "X": "My research has to be done. Without it we'll never know which animals we should protect and which ones we can do with out. Only truly naive people will find my research cruel and unusual. These people may not have souls themselves."
We asked Doctor "X" to provide us with more images from her research, but she said that we'll have to wait and by her book.
