Some of your comments to this shocking and despicable display of animal cruelty:


"sick, sick, sick bastards----I hope they get caught. Actually I'd love to see a huge pot of boiling water dumped on them."

"I'd execute each and every one of these suckers."

"All I can wish is that they are caught, stuck in jail, and raped on a thrice-daily basis for this."


Whew!


 
In a way aren't we animals too? But we are sivilised animals and ahve devoloped brain and minds which the other animals lack, becuase they haven't developed them or whatever. But then that give us more responsibility to look after them give them lvoe and respect and not treat them like dirt. How would you like to have been that cat? Put yourself in the other person's shoes and you will probably begin to understand the meaning of what we are talking about. maybe it will enlighten you into the rights of animals and how to treat them properly.

Prop is right also in some ways. That is causing cruelty to us. jails are OK, cause that just prevents them from doing any mroe harm, but any more and its also cruelty. but in a way its an eye for an eye and a leg for a leg type thing.

Azraele<--You are being the stereo typical tree hugging whiner. Have the thread locked, if only to spare us from whining about dunb animals.

Look at what propellerhead wrote. Do you get the drift that you guys are emotionly out of controll about this. The fact there are people that demonstrate such disregard for human life in our society scares me more then these kids who fried the cat.
 
I'd never even heard of those &quot;drop boxes&quot;, but they sound like they might be a good idea if someone would check in and do a pickup from them on a daily basis, as opposed to just being left to die as it seems they are.

I'd rather see them go into a structure and get picked up than just let loose on the expressway or in the woods like they do around here with unwanted animals.

In the legal sense of the word, I don't think animals have rights. But I would never opt for letting someone get away with purposely killing, harming or cause suffering to an animal.
 
<<Do you get the drift that you guys are emotionly out of controll about this>>

They are angry, and have every right to be.

I have requested that this thread be locked.

Its hard to even bother with you. Suffice to say that I think none of us here will successfully be able to lower our moral standards to even get within the same ball park as your useless self to discuss the matter with you. If I was foolish enough to think as you think I'd possibly think that since we already have too many people in the world all the sick should be killed.

Why do you even own cats? You obviously don't give a sh*t for them. You are a cat _owner_. Most pet owners are also pet lovers. We have enough worthless people in the world that we don't need those who would take out their cruelty on animals. That is why I was so harsh with my statements about them.

Your apathy and moral laziness doesn't help the problem one bit. What makes you among the lowest piece of crap I've had the displeasure of having to &quot;meet&quot; online is that you think its ok. Perhaps when you're older (god help us if you are an adult and think this way) you will realize what an ass you are.
 
Well, if the boxes were properly maintained, then I can see a use for them.

However, it'd be just as easy to take an animal to a shelter where it's usually guaranteed that it gets the care it needs, and, if it absolutely must be put down, then it's done so in a humane way.
 
<<Yippe, run from thought that challenges your own. That is constructive. >>

It's not the thought, but the attitude.
 
You're right, but people are probably worried about guilt trips or monetary obligations. They need a &quot;no questions asked&quot; method like they use around here now for dropping off newborns without legal entanglement.
 
I have to say to some extent I agree with xraymongral.

Let's keep it all in perspective. Yes this is a terrible act of cruelty. No it should not happen. Yes the people who did it should be punished.

But in the face of so much human suffering in the world with so much equally deliberate cruelty, we should be up in arms to help our fellow man. The life of an animal pales in comparison to that of a human.

Anyone making comments saying they would take the life of this cat over a fellow member here lacks both emotional control and any sort of perspective in life.
 
Good point, but one problem with drop boxes is that they have been abused in that people will take someone's pet out of their yard and drop it in there. Sometimes by the time the owner can track it down, it's too late.
 
The attitude is purely logical. While it is possible to love and care for my pets, I am not in such a case of emotional confusion that my life being is tied to them. Sure I am sad when a pet dies, but not to the degree I am when a human dies.

You apparently find my responses offensive? Well, I find these kind of posts somewhat offensive.
 
dawheat: I understand where you're coming from, and the threads that deal with human suffering show how much people out there care. They show the same outrage and same anger that they are showing here. What it boils down to is life, whether it be human or animal.
 
xraymongral: Read daw's reply. His makes his point without the attitude.

If you do not like the posts, you are not obligated to read them.
 
The problem with the perpitrators of this is that in the world we have a lot of human suffering. These sorts of people are the exact same sort of people who contribute to that. If you're 20 and you haven't learned that burning a cat and throwing it from a car is bad then you are a scumbag and just the same sort of scummy attitude will make you the sort of person who contributes to human suffering and human forms of violence.

Futhermore although generally a human's life is worth more than an animals it is not always the case. I would save a cat or a dog over a mass-murderers life any day of the week.
 
<<And if you do not like all the responses you get to your posts, you are not obligated to make said posts. >>

I'm not psychic, I can't predict what replies will be put in a thread, and yours was the farthest from my mind.

Had you simply done it as Daw did, I would have had no problem with it.

Some of the things you said are reprehensible.
 
Yes, I agree with Daw insofar as his overall gist which was a reminder that ultimately and generally (not always) human life is worth more than animal life, at least to humans. To animals their lives are more important 🙂

I just don't see how anybody can help but take issue with comments like &quot;get over it&quot;. People are run over by drunk drivers all the time, it doesn't mean I'll get over it. Frequency of occurences does not mean these occurences should be simply accepted. And it being a &quot;dumb animal&quot; doesn't mean its life should be thrown away. I consider murder of a person with severe mental retardation just as reprehensible as murder of a genius.
 
Reprehensible is a potentially strong word, you have not the right to censure those who disagree with you, even if you do not like the tenor of the comments.
 
All I ask is that you conduct your debate in a professional manner. You knew you'd upset people with some of the things you said, and you could have easily made you point without causing such upset. Here's an example:

&quot;While this is truly tragic, let's not forget the human suffering that goes on in the world. Tragedies such as this are all too common, and shared by both man and animal.&quot;

 
Skoorb<--Sorry to tell you I have not been 20 in several years. I also have had plenty of life experiances upon which I base me opinion. I have worked in trauma center emergency rooms, have seen lots of what happens to people that should not, have seen lots of people die from various causes. I have also worked in some crappy parts of Detroit, I have seen what I think are some really poor excuses for humans, but they are no less than humans. Again, I think that I have a more then fair bases which my opinion is based upon.

Azraele<--Sorry I left my coddle blankets at home. I though I was responding to an adult, who did not have to be held and and spoken to in gentle words. Really, time to thicken up the skin a little bit.

It seems to me after seeing all that,instead of having such a disregard of animals,that would make you have more compassion for ANY living,breathing creature. Noone once said that humans are more/less important. Only speaking for myself, I'm saying that humans are NO more important than any other animals.
Every animal evolved to survive in which it had to to survive. Because we evolved to a more intellectual level than most, does not mean that we can kill and not have feelings toward any other animal. It should be the oppposite.
