"I didn't even take note of the puffskein incident when I read 
Fantastic Beasts, but when BetsyHP brought it up, I was very 
distubed.  (I'm a vet!!)  I really DON'T think JKR meant that 
to be taken seriously, since it was just ONE line in an ancillary 
book, so I am trying very hard to come up with another reasonable 
explanation  to let the Weasley twins off the hook. <snip> "

I am thinking the puffskein is probably closer to the Star Trek 
Tribble- (after all, it eats boogers, doesn't it? and tribbles 
eat almost anything) I would think it would be something that the 
twins would have told him happened to the thing- because could 
you see Molly Weasley allowing them to get away with that? I 
think not!

"I'm not a vet, but I am a vegan, and the sort of death-penalty
 opponent who thinks animal abusers ought to have toasters 
 dropped in their bathtubs as a matter of course."

Um, wow... (clearing throat as this is only my second post here 
and I don't want a howler-) No one except a court of law has the 
right to make that type of decision, and it begs many questions 
that are not HP related. 

hekatesheadband:
"What's really horrible in the world in general is that young 
children (eight and under, roughly) will sometimes do very 
serious, deliberate harm to small animals without having any 
true comprehension of what they're doing." <snip>

Again, this really may go beyond what this HP board is for!
