Your friend is mentally unstable. Read the articles and learn. His parents need to get him some help before he moves on to neighborhood cats and dogs, and finally, people.

That, or just shoot him now and spare the world another potential serial killer.

yeah you can get feeder mice. just litttle whit mice.

But i never threw LIVE mice in with the snake. it can be bad for the snake. sometimes the mouse will attack the snake and do some damage. so i would try to kill it. just grab the tail and smack its head on the desk then toss it in.

But then i found a good deal of pre-killed frozen mice at WWW.MICEONICE.COM or at the local pet swap.

You and your friend are cowardly dogs. Him for torturing that poor animal and you for not doing anything about it. Congratulations, you are now worthless to the rest of the world. Goodbye

That's just wrong. If he had stuck the mouse in a Ziplock bag and tossed him in a dumpster, that's one thing. I've done that when my cat caught mice and tore them up. But killing him with his bare hands, and multiple attempts of doing so until successful - that's just serial killer training. When was the last time your 'friend' had a psychological study?

Your friend has his wiring off. This is not the type of thing that he will grow out of. He has a serious issue.

If I were you, I would put the lotion on the skin if he asks...

It's one thing to kill it, it's another thing to torture it. He seems to have a fascination with death and dying, and i doubt this has sated his appetite for it. So keep him away from pets.

Yeah, seriously...just stomp them and be done with it. Fvcking cruel bastard.

He will become a Serial Killer if given the chance. Don't hang out with "friends" like that.

he said that he closed the mouth with his right index finger and covered his nose with his left index finger while holding onto it w/both hands. right after it started seeming like it would die, he would lay it on the floor, it would spaz for like 5 seconds, then his heart rate will start beating rapeadely again. he said he did this 3 times, each time getting close to dying, spazing on the floor for several seconds, just returning back to life. afterwards, he got tired of it, and didn't let go until it started seizing less in his hands.
he is a sick mofo. serial killers start out this way.

This thread is ridiculous - not for the original poster either, but for the idiots that assume this kid is going to become a serial killer.:roll:

and you have proof to the contrary?

maybe Dahmer's parents didn't think anything of his animal abuse either.

OP's friend has serious mental issues and OP should refrain from continuing the friendship.

Also yet another vote for deletion of this thread. Skunk thread in point.

again, correlation without causation:

most politicians are lawyers, are most lawyers going to be politicians?

Torturing animals is cruel and inhuman - no doubt. But he isn't a serial killer, he should look at hiring a councellor to deal with his obvious issues.
