Yes. Wolff asked him how that poor animal could possibly do him any harm; Jorgen replied that he might make trouble later.

And later, Archie calls them "Monsters! Vivisectionists! Torturers!"- or something similar

I think this shows that HergÃ© and co. were wholly against such cruelty.

Archie? You've got the wrong comic series! This is the adventures of TINTIN.

And don't forget Jorgen knocking out Snowy!
and then kicking him down port-hole and letting him fall from a great height! that bit makes me wince everytime i read it!

Hi miloumuttmitt,

Just curious - Are you a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian?

I always call Haddock Archie... *shrugs*...
Because I'm very fond of him, I guess.

Oh, sorry. As in Archibald (picaros adventure) got it.
Thought you were reffering to Tintin for some odd reason.

Non-vegetarian. I don't go THAT far.
OJG, do you really think it is okay to hurt a disobedient child? Speaking of which: Land Of Black Gold, page 51, frame 5.

Now, now, let's not be tempted to see naughty children as untamed animals: please start a new thread if you wish to talk about the treatment of misbehaving youngsters in Tintin; if you do so, please provide a link back to this thread.

No I don't think it's OK to HURT them, as in harm them, but it can sometimes be necessary to cause them DISCOMFORT to act as a disincentive to do it again.
