Humans are more beast than animals.

Omg I can't watch!

records found say that the animals were mostly weak from neglect and starving, and those condemned even tried to assist the animals in killing them

Jervy Josiah, Christians have committed some horrible act of their own. Humans regardless of what group are the meanest animal alive.

Jervy Josiah

oh no why earlier Christians needs to suffer in this way

Tun-Corn

Jervy Josiah, why not include slaves in that narrative too? slaves would have been existing in misery & suffering, only to have died suffering too. what a wicked world / wicked humans that still exist today

And yet our criminals, child abusers, animal abusers, ignore their victim's rights and get away with it destroying lives, (many repeatedly), wasting taxpayers money, wasting good oxygen. Humans like bloodsport, and this seems a very befitting sentence for many criminals in society. Instead of decades on deathrow, or revolving in the legal systems. Bet the first event would be a "quick sellout"!!!

Bill, fyi ,those who do those "horrible acts" are not real Christians.

EMPEROR NERO WAS THE ONE WHO ORDERED ALL THE CHRISTIANS TO BE KILLED BY EITHER ANIMALS OR CRUCIFIXION. REMEMBER SAINT PÈTER WAS CRUCIFIED UPSIDE DOWN.

Just an early way to introduce violence as entertainment. The rich will torture, and the weak/ labeled will be sentenced.
