Most of the Betty Boop cartoons are acceptable for children to view, but a few were actually banned. Betty was recognized by adults almost immediately as a sexual character and a few of her cartoons have elements which are seen as objectionable today. Be Human (1936) is such a cartoon. Once you see it you will know why children must not see it.
In response to severe animal cruelty by an ill-tempered farmer , Betty and Grampy decide to take matters into their own hands and inflict severe cruelty on the farmer. in a sort of "eye for an eye" justice. While torturing the man, they laugh and obviously enjoy themselves.
Justice in the Bible means "setting things right." God, whose motives are always pure, reserves to Himself the right to exact vengeance.
"To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste." Deuteronomy 32:35
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." Romans 12:19
The Bible is very clear that we must not mistreat animals and we also should not allow others to do so. The desire to inflict physical pain or harm on abusers, though, and especially the desire to enjoy doing it,
is as evil as the animal abuse itself.
