Defeating Evil?

  • I grew up in a household which loved animals.  Mom always told me, "Be kind to animals."  But, what about those animals whose driving force is to kill?  You can only tame a tiger until it doesn't want to be tame anymore.  The handler usually discovers this bit of logic when they turn their back to the tiger.  Game over.  Tiger mauls the handler; handler loses their head, or an arm, or leg.  So we cage these man- killers or put them on preserves, but we put barriers or space between them and us.  What of the human “animal” which walks among us?  If they are part of "civilized" society, there are prisons to hold them.  If they have rabid killers, serial killers, with no conscience, who have chosen not to be a part of civilized society, they are cancer which must be excised and disposed of in a rapid and decisive manner, permanently, right?
