Cat repeatedly thrown 60ft from a balcony

[hub2dee]

Link . This is filmed on a mobile and sent around to mates.

bastards. I'd like to throw them repeatedly from a 5th floor balcony.

I saw this on the news last night. Astounded that this was for a laugh. I think the sentence is really weak as well. Quite often you hear of people that are banned from keeping animals - does anyone actually enforce that?

That poor cat - I'm speechless

It wasn't his cat either was it, so a ban on keeping probably wouldn't impact him at all. Tosser.

OMG. What M2P said.

Edam, I would be very surprised if M2P really mean that and was willing to act on her words.

Or did I get it all wrong and you agree with that? [confused emoticon]

I know, but morally it's what these pathetic excuses for human beings deserve. Doing it once is evil enough, to do it repeatedly when the poor animal was already suffering... it should be unbelievable.

Unfortunately there are plenty of children like them (to a lesser extent, of course, until they prove the contrary). I confess to have told mums of other children that my yorkies had fleas or skin infections in order to keep their children away from them.

Mytwopenceworth, that is usually my reaction and the judge/magistrate who decides on weak sentencing for this and other barbaric behaviour. It made me so angry .

i didnt click on the link, i can kind of imagine what happened, people like that should be tortured..slowly.

the evil little bastards, that poor poor cat, id love 5 mins alone with them

Imagine being the parent of children who would do something like that? Un-bloody-believable.
Poor, poor cat.

Sadly it doesn't surprise me at all.

When I last taught 'freezing' as a topic on boy happily told me that his father (his father ffs!) had frozen a live frog in liquid nitrogen and thorwn it to the floor where it shattered into pieces.

I taught some year 5s who were looking at the school week before last. I asked them if they had any questions and one asked me if he was allowed to melt slugs in science classes. Sick little bastard!

brutes, the lot of them - they will find their way into the criminal justice system soon enough. Frankly, if they are still doing this as teenagers, I don't think much of their parents either.

I cannot bring myself to even look at the link ,it is too upsetting for words ,my only hope is that they all have sad and lonely lives and die a brutal death by whatever means

Bastards. That poor, poor cat. And I feel very sorry for the owner too.

Heard it on the news yesterday, Jesus, it's so awful. 4 months, he got 4 months. I'd bloddy well throw him off

He's probably bonkers and I hope this four months detention actually deals with his lack of empathy and compassion and forces him to face up to what he's done.

My reservation about this is that generally, our prisons, including youth detention centres, treat this sort of crime as if it is on a par with burglary. This sort of cruelty to animals when young, is often associated with being a psychopath when older. Now, he's dangerous to cats. In five years time, he'll be dangerous to people, unless his time in detention addresses his dangerous lack of empathy. But I fear it won't. He'll come out having learned a bit more about how to be a more effective criminal.

The worrying thing is that it probably shows a significant level of psychopathy now and should be adressed now and not after he has carried out something even worse

this is why crimes against animals need to be taken VERY seriously, mb, and are prosecuted as felony crimes in most US states after overwhelming research into violent offenders found many of them started out w/animal cruelty.

our cats are indoors only for a variety of reasons. including cruelty.

look at what happened to sparkygothkat's moggie.

I would not throw the bastards of the balcony. They obviously have not had enough love in their lives and look at what it produces, an ill of society.

Sure there are those who will do this even when loved. But violence does begets violence in most cases.

they deserve to be punished to the extent that they learn this type of behaviour is WRONG, is not tolerated by society and will result in very serious penalties to themselves.

Bastards, sick and twisted bastards.

And what happens in four months time (probably less) when he gets out? He won't have changed, he'll probably be back doing exactly the same thing and worse.

Scum.
