While playing with my friends, I'm going to hit a puppy with a bat.
You know that what you are doing is messed up right?
Probably, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Assaulting an innocent animal will turn you into an evil person. You will be committing a heinous crime and will be fined and incarcerated for being so cruel.
It's only a game. Hitting a puppy won't turn me evil.
It's not okay to hit a puppy. Your friends will be horrified, and you will likely not have any friends after that. You should enjoy playing with the puppy kindly instead.
