No.


I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

________________

I've seen some superhero-themed piñata... so it's superhero abuse too! Don't discriminate.

I had never heard about piñatas since I have never seen once in my life. I went looking for what they are and I don't consider them "animal abuse". They are fake and too ridiculous to resemble a real animal. Even if children wanted to hit a real animal to get candies, their potential victim wouldn't be so stupid to let them do it. I saw that some piñatas resemble horses: a child trying to hit one of these giants would have a very bad moment.
(here in Italy we have "pignatte", which are basically the same thing, but I don't think they are animal-shaped).

Of course it's not animal abuse. Don't you know all piñatas want to get hit, well most of them. It's all in the song. (Great now I want to play that game on the 360)

But really hitting something that is an inanimate object that happens to look like a living creature isn't animal abuse. That's like ... (analogy I wanted to use is too dirty ... *cough* ) saying throwing a barbie doll down the stairs is like attempted murder.
For anyone wondering what I wanted to say that was too dirty

Perfect analogy.
I'm sorry but this thread has got to be the dumbest thread I have wondered into in quite some time.

A pinata can be shaped like just about anything the creator can put the paper into, and most of them don't even resemble a living thing.
Pinatas are made to be destroyed, just like vegetables are grown to be eaten.

You monster! Vegetables have feelings too!



I wonder what Buzz Lightyear might have to say about this...

Though back in this reality, yeah, the OP is pretty damn ridiculous.

I hate to necro this COMPLETELY asinine thread, but I must.

This is too funny for me. BaeSooky, I meant to reply when you made this post, but I... I dunno, I didn't. Why? Well, there's a reason I guess, but whatever... point is, your post is hilarious, I can't let it pass me up a second time, and I apologize for this ridiculously late reply.

I'm currently reviewing my posts and happened to run across this thread. I forgot about it, really, and while reviewing, I narcissistically had a laugh at my own post. BUT! I sllloooowwwly started to remember the thread, and then I saw your post which immediately made me burst into a hysterical laughing fit. Like, tears and everything, just like when I read it the first time.

Mostly because I totally imagine a scenario where this bumbling parent wants to give his or her kid a puppy as a gift, but does it in the WORST way imaginable? I dunno... It's such an obvious joke that I'd have never thought of it, so it kills me every time I see it.

LMFAO. This topic. ._.

Anyways, no. It's not animal abuse to me. It's made of cardboard, tissue paper, and staples. So more like material abuse? I've seen some awful looking pinatas... And I think to myself, "Who thought that was gonna be a good idea?"

No because the piñata won't feel anything...? What.

But what if the piñata gains sentient life? Wouldn´t it be highly xenophobic of us to just label it as an animal. This is so existential you guys!
What sort of animal would best fit into a piñata bwt.?
