Tortured Kitten

I agree but as said to Syren, it's highly unlikely (though not impossible) that any kid at 15 is gonna wanna run the risk of getting sent to jail. Most kids do that sort of thing because they see it as just being bad, not necessarily coz they wanna be evil.

Oh, AC...a boy of 12 was just arrested for beating and sexually assualting a 4-year-old in my city... It's not that uncommon here! A group of boys, in the last year, including an 11-year-old, were arrested for gang raping an elderly woman. They had first terrorized her for months. It began with breaking into her house and petty theft while she was gone and escalated to doing so while she was there, and bullying her, and eventually... Also we find abused animals, in one case a puppy beaten and hung from a tree... I think there are connections here! It's been documented, I'm telling you, that there is a pattern...

__It isn't about wanting to be bad; it's about wanting to see how powerful one is in relation to other creatures and to societal restraints! If you discover that you are powerful enough to hurt animals without consequence, and you desire more power...you can go on... to harming people in non-violent ways, then perhaps in violent ways. Most children must explore gradually, must grow...in violence as in all other things.

I agree with most of what you're saying, crime can differ. However:

"If you discover that you are powerful enough to hurt animals without consequence, and you desire more power...you can go on... "

That's a bit of a generalisation. The only generalisation I made was one from experience that is MORE likely to be true. The fearing of authority. At least when reality sets in. I do agree though, some children do go on.

But that's neither here nor there.

Someone did this up here in Canada.
But they skimmed the cat of hair, and killed it on tape. 😘

Poor kitty

*sniffs*

honey, where do you LIVE?

The worst we get in my quiet english town is a few drunken fights, so anything big is BIG - eg. we had an abused child that people still talk about, and a case of severe animal cruelty, but it happens really rarely

I'm in East London, not much shocks me anymore.

Not to say East London is the worst, has it's fair share though.

yeah london can be bad. I go to uni in london, and they gave everyone free rape alarms in the first week of term!

did you here about hammer-man near Twickenham at all? cos thats well near our campus

I live in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin.....😛

whoever did that to the kitten should be arrested and shot....animals are cool...but they cant fight back, so it isnt fair to beat them up...thats cruel

Not quite true.

Well i think so

well he did get owned

I don't think they should charge them and put them in jail, i think they should just ****ing kill the little assholes out right. There sick and deserve it, but thats just my opp ion.

Gee, they were pretty pathetic if they didn't manage to kill it.

Oh, and, if I were in charge of the justice doled out, I would institute a law allowing for poetic justice. Or I'd shoot them in the kneecaps...yeah, that'd teach them.

^ I agree ✅

I agree, too ✅

i work at an animal hospital and i see this alot...i agree that the teenagers we be stupid immature cruel and overall evil but 20,00 dollars is too much money for something as small and very unimportant..the kitten was probably a stray and up to 2 years in jail is too long...this country..AMERICA isn't going to be a superpower for long if crap like this (the 20,000 dollar thing and jail thing) keeps goin on over stupid crap....

Seriously can't they find better stories....

No I'm not. I said I would make an attempt at stopping them by scaring them off (which is likely. It happens with muggers. Someone shouts "Oi! Stop!" and they run). I'm not committing a heinous act.

"When I lived in montreal I stopped a man who was raping a woman on the subway. As unbelievable as it was, more than 40 people didn't raise a hand to help her. If beating the hell outta that guy for what he did was wrong because he did nothing to me, then I am wrong."

Oh give me a break. You're comparing rape of a woman to beating a kitten?

"And don't say that there is a difference, I hate cats, but cruelty is cruelty, and allowing such cruelty to happen and not having the common sense or nads to do something about it is equally hidious"

No difference? Between RAPE and beating a kitten? Jesus Christ how disrespectful do you wanna be? Of course there is a difference between forcing sexual intercourse on an innocent bystander and beating a kitten.

It's illogical to say not beating the shit out of someone for beating the shit out of a kitten, is equally hideous. I never said I'd just walk on by, read my posts.

If I'm hideous for not lowering my mindset to "neanderthal" and being on their level, then I'll take the title. You be a moron, enjoy it.

I completly agree with you...I love the fact that you can see this and other people can't...really beating a kitten isn't that bad....there's more serious things in life rather than worrying about a kitten getting beaten...think about what happened in lodon....OMG DEANO! i wonder if he's alright!?
