Sentence

Is this sentence correct:



"I think it was unethical to display such a torturous practice towards animals."

  

Top answer

We don't normally use "torturous" that way, although it is correct enough. And I'm not sure what you are trying to say, especially with "display". Also, was the practice toward the animals or was the displaying?
