He "jumped the gun," so to speak, but I think it was the most humane way to kill them.

Animal shelters exist for a reason.

This incident is stupid and so is the principal, this is the real reason tire irons have multiple uses.

Ironing tires?

It's not unlikely that the animal shelter would have killed them eventually, also. I'm not a big fan of them, personally. Heard some ****ed up stories about people's lost pets being euthanized "accidentally" by self-proclaimed low-kill shelters.

As for the guy shooting the kittens, that probably wasn't the best solution, either, but it wasn't any more cruel than what a shelter likely would have done.

Perhaps, but there is a chance for adoption and its more humane than taking them out back and shooting them.

What a cruel, stupid man. I hope he gets charged.

Must be a dog-person.

And his only charge would be having a gun on school grounds.

Ummm... couldn't he have taken them to the vet or animal shelter to have it done?

In Australia there are places that do that kind of thing - properly and fully within the regulation of the law. Generally people don't see an orphaned cat in their front yard and go "Poor thing, best put it out of its misery *BANG* Oh, don't worry Frank, no need to call the police, oh neighbour, just doing the humane thing to this kitten."

If they did they would get arrested, but that is more for gun violation then the cat, unless the cat didn't die instantly in which case animal cruelty would be added to it.

Cruel would have been throwing the kittens out of a window at students.

Jackass should have just called the Humane Society, would of been the right thing to do, now he faces a possible ass-raping in prison.
