That douchebag that hurt the kitty was scum, but putting on a superiority hat and giving in to the same primal urges to hurt as the abuser did makes a person on par with the abuser, yet with a superiority complex.
People are too far removed from the farm and the start of the food chain. Grow up on a farm and you will see the life and death of many species 100 fold. A kitty gets hurt, you shoot it, there will be more and it's family won't mind.
We are at the top of the food chain for a reason, and the way we kill our food is more "humane" than the way animals kill prey in the wild. Animals are below us and I just can't fathom when people see animals as equals. I can't see spending $900 on a cat surgery when there are humans in need.
I've never killed an animal I wasn't going to eat, or that wasn't suffering. I respect them, but they have their place.
Slow night, I'm bored.........

agreed. Growing up in a house full of cats i see how meaningless they are to eachother. They have no dependancy towards one another and heck we just lost one a few weeks ago but it ran into the street and got hit by a car.. our other 2 cats are the exact same from it and act like nothing even happened
but as riverrat said this doesnt give anyone the right to harm an animal.. just think the court system will punish this guy enough. I only read the first arcticle, but there was no interview with the guy who did it.. maybe he is mentally handicap or has some serious mental illness that he cannot control. Shoot we dont know what his deal is at all. Sure he could just be some white trash POS like everyone is thinking, but if so the courts will take care of it.
