Even though I have a boyfriend, I found someone I like.

Please listen to the opinions of various people.
(._.) Honestly, she's a MAD boyfriend. Even if I were friends, it would be amazing. I will break ties with animal abusers. However, Wanwan and Nyan gave up 100 steps and Coco also gave up 3 steps, and considering what his mentality of animal abuse is, surely he wasn't loved by his parents?
I also used to chase the chicken I kept at home when I was little, with konnyarome.
I'm sure I couldn't feel my parents' love either... (crying) orz
Even though his mentality around that is still weak, he probably heads towards bullying.
One thing is everything. Either way, there is a possibility that kicks or air guns will hit you.
If you have that much love to make him truly convert, you should support him with psychological care, but if it's not that far, it's about getting along well. (Kitsukette) If the reason for breaking up is “someone you like has come,” the air gun may go wild and be directed at you. Rather than saying (._.), I think it would hurt him more deeply, so it would be ridiculous not to say that.
If they break up, even when they kick the dog off, they say in a sharp tone and say “I can't do it anymore!” on the grounds of animal abuse “Abusing animals = loving animals and belittling my work = mistreating me is the same act. If you don't understand that, it's impossible to get married to you,” break up, wrap your tail around, and run away at full speed.
Please wear a helmet on your head so you don't get shot by an air gun when you leave, and be careful when you go home.
The problem is dog ownership. I wonder if you should have one early on because of abuse.
One more thing: when people are in a difficult situation, other objects and partners look even more brilliant.
It's better to keep in mind that there may be parts of that new boyfriend candidate that you can't see right now. If you feel that you are in danger, say goodbye while having that person protect you.
You are the protagonist of life. He's not my boyfriend or a new boyfriend candidate.
The Buddha's teaching is that you have initiative and walk a peaceful path.

Perhaps doubts have arisen that they will abuse my child in the same way...?

If you really like him, you should probably admonish him not to bully his weak ones anymore.

But if your feelings are starting to cool down, it's better to use that as a reason to make it clear. That kind of root cause is something that isn't easy to fix right away.

Ayasama
Nice to meet you, my name is Urakami from Nagomi-an.

I was relieved when I saw the thank-you note that it said “with breaking up in mind.”
The reason I felt relieved was that if you were an elementary school student, it was an abnormal act, such as bullying animals when you were in your mid-thirties.
You may be kind “now” and “to Aya,” but I think it is extremely unlikely that it will continue even after marriage.

I think there are many cases where the culprit of bizarre murders that cause a stir in the world escalated from where they bullied and killed animals at first.
What I'm worried about is that after breaking up with Aya, he won't run in that direction. I don't think we should let Aya direct that kind of attitude towards her or anyone else.

There may have been a problem with his development process, so why don't you recommend that you try receiving counseling, etc. I don't think they'll take it honestly... I'm worried about Aya, and I'm worried about him.

Aya

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

According to the humble opinion of the person in charge of the Hasunoha Legal Affairs Department (self-proclaimed), animal abuse is a crime, so there is a possibility that the boyfriend will be punished by the “Act on the Protection and Management of Animals.”

Article 44 A person who kills or injures a protected animal by mistake shall be imprisoned for 2 years or less or fined 2 million yen or less. ・・

If you are Aya, who works at an animal hospital, I know that if you continue to be in a relationship or break up, if you really want to revise and correct that boyfriend, I know that it is okay to let them know about the existence of this law, encourage fierce remorse, and try not to do it again in the future. Alternatively, I know that it would be a good idea to record some evidence beforehand, and then urge reform by reporting it to the police this time.

Of course, there is a possibility that such objections will also come back.

“Well then, don't you feel bad about the chickens, cows, and pigs that are killed for that every day as food, isn't it a crime, and is that OK because it's not stipulated by law?”

Certainly, it is OK to kill animals that are usually eaten, but the fact that welfare animals and pets are bad is discrimination, and it is inherently contradictory and strange. In that respect, Buddhism stipulates the “commandment of immortality,” and it is equally stated that living creatures must not be killed or harmed unnecessarily. This is because it is a bad act and brings bad results, and it is also natural that you don't do anything else you don't like being done by yourself.

Of course, it is also a definite fact that we also need animal protein in order to survive. Whether unavoidable killing is permissible in order to survive... honestly, it's a very difficult question.

However, one thing I can say here is that I am aware of the existence of a person who is able to live by being kept alive by various kinds of support (relationships), I know that it is important to feel grateful and rewarded for the benefits, do not cause arrogance, suppress desires that are more than necessary, such as greed or greed, and humbly feel grateful for those relationships, and be grateful for the lives we have received.

I'm sorry for making it this far due to the character limit...
