Animal Cruelty - Only look if you have a strong stomach (poor kitty)




Saw this in the paper today. It made me feel physically sick. Makes me scared to let my cats out. Makes me feel so sad people find this amusing. I feel like crying. That poor girl found her cat like that. I imagine if my Emma saw Misty or Chloe like that. She would NEVER get over that.

Re: Animal Cruelty - Only look if you have a strong stomach (poor kitty)


Oh my god...

When I stole Rajah from the man who was letting her starve to death, I couldn't let her out at first, as I was living in a neighbourhood where several cats had been skinned alive

It always astonishes me when people can be that cruel to animals, for no reason. What reason could there possibly be, they're animals...

Ok for anybody who doesn't want to open the original link, I will just say that it contains photos of a cat that has been killed by somebody hanging it

Re: Animal Cruelty - Only look if you have a strong stomach (poor kitty)


This sort of stuff should not be hidden away. This should be show so that the scum that do this sort of thing cannot hide away. There should be strong punishments for this. I dont know what the law states on things like this, but this sort of article can only help get stronger punishments for the scum that find this an amusing pastime.

Sorry again if this offends, but we cannot pretend it doesnt happen.

Re: Animal Cruelty - Only look if you have a strong stomach (poor kitty)


Actually I think they should impose VERY heavy fines for acts such as this, say £10,000 and if you cannot pay you get sent to prison for say min 5 years. For £250 they will just steal something and sell it to pay for fines.

Although being a taxpayer I do begrudge paying for people to be put up in prisons but I would far prefer that than have these scum walk the streets.

IF I had my way they wouldn't walk the streets or go to prison, there is no place on our planet for scum like this.

Re: Animal Cruelty - Only look if you have a strong stomach (poor kitty)


Thats why it happens. No punishment at all is it? There should be a prison sentence. That might make idiots think twice.

It is a life - whether it human, cat, dog - whatever.
