4 year old strangles cat

[Electric Amish]

This would be a very interesting case study.

Document the kid's life and see what happens..

Hmm.. After reading the story it sounds like the kid was hungry...

Maybe it wasn't malicious.

Serial killers have historically started out by torturing animals. This kid is probably a goner, but the parents have an obligation to try and reform him.

Poor kitty

As for the kid, I think he's really too young to understand the consequences of his actions. He definately needs to be taught, however.

 

[Electric Amish]

Ummm... would a spanking be appropriate here???

Yes, give the child a chance, but also make darn sure he is not in a position to harm anyone else! There is something seriously wrong there, and we shouldn't put any other living creature in danger while treating the child.

Of course, the story doesn't give much information. Was the child being abused, and did this as a way of having some control in his life? Was he suffering from chronic malnourishment, and saw the cat as his only source of food? Did he injest some lead-based paint, or did his parents expose him to some harmful drugs/chemicals? I wonder what the full story is.

maybe he was hungry? i seriously dont see what the big deal is...

humans use most mammals in the world for meat, why should this be any different? because its a house cat?

You say that the kids life is more important than the cats?

If a four year old eats a pet, then obviously that four year old does not fit in society. To me, I rather live in a world with one less "pet eating four year old" than live in a world with one less family pet.

I have no remorse for the kid, at age four, you know what is right and wrong, only a sick minded kid would even think of killing. I know when I was four, I was smiling, laughing, walking, and dressing up as a fireman. But I was definately not killing my pet cat. That is just sick, and deserves some kind of action.

jamison: At four, I was wearing dresses and having tea parties. But I had a normal family life, with people who loved me, food on my table, and a roof always over my head. So many of us don't take into consideration that if you own a pair of shoes, you are 80% richer than the rest of the world is. Its a tough life out there, and who knows what drove him to do it. Killing a child is sick and twisted, no matter what excuse you try to hide behind. I really fear for a world that has so called normal people calling for the blood of a four year old.

 

[Tauren]

Beast1284 - Read the story. It was a FOUR year old! He ate it raw. It is the situation that is disturbing, not his choice of animal.

 

[Optimus]

Why do I get the feeling this child was not from a good home? Just a suspicion... maybe not a fair one, but its what I feel.

No, the child does not need to be killed, he needs serious, serious help. Now.

 

[Tauren]

I agree, he doesn't need to be killed, just intense psycho-therapy.

 

[Pastore]

I read the damn story...

obviously the kid knew that the animal was edible, so he ate the damn thing...

maybe he saw his dad killing animals for dinner...

just because he ate his cat does not mean he needs psycho therapy...

Oh, and im not sure how the economy is in Romania, but would you rather have the kid starve to death? or eat his cat...

how many 4 year olds do you know have those kind of survival skills... NOT MANY

 

[Tauren]

You don't think a 4 y/o child eating the family pet raw is reason enough for psychological help???

 

[Pastore]

Tauren, do you know WHY he ate it? Do you know he wasn't starving to death?

i think the story would have been disturbing if he just killed it for the sole purpose of killing it... but he killed it, and then ate it... this kid isnt stupid...

THIS IS FVCKING ROMANIA WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, ITS NOT EXACTLY SUBURBAN AMERICA HERE!

Was the boys name ALF

 

[jamison]

I never said he should be killed, yes I rather not live in a world with a four year old that eats a family pet, but I never said I "wanted his blood".

I did say however - "That is just sick, and deserves some kind of action."

"Man tried to have sex with corpse in cemetery

A Romanian man tried to have sex with a woman's corpse in a cemetery.

Marian Bala, 27, dug up the woman, who died in April last year.

Police were called and Bala is now in a psychiatric hospital.

He had crept into the cemetery at night. After attempting to have sex with the body, he threw the corpse into a nearby river - just as police arrived to arrest him.

He was spotted by a man walking his dog in Ciupercenii Noi, in the Dolj region."


Lot 'O bad things going on in Romania. What are they teaching their kids?

just because he ate his cat does not mean he needs psycho therapy...

Uh, yeah I think it does. Picture this:

Kid strangles cat to death. Then rips off still-warm cat's flesh and begins his meal. That is really really ()*S&(*ed up. People need psychotherapy for way less than this.

 

[vi edit]

I drowned about 12 kittens in motor oil when I was four.

Never ate them though.

Motor oil doesn't taste to swell.

 

[Pastore]

Skoorb, in this society, MAYBE, but this is Romania we are talking about... So if you were starving to death, you wouldn't eat a house cat to stay alive?

 

[Remedy]

I'm not doubting the story, but how the hell can he kill a cat at only 4 years old? I can stroke a cat across its back without jumping back 5 to 10 feet in fear of it scratching and clawing me to death? I find it hard to believe the cat just went down without a fight

Kidding right?

beast If I was starving I would...I suppose that needs to be a key piece of info left out of article.
