That douchebag that hurt the kitty was scum, but putting on a superiority hat and giving in to the same primal urges to hurt as the abuser did makes a person on par with the abuser, yet with a superiority complex.
People are too far removed from the farm and the start of the food chain. Grow up on a farm and you will see the life and death of many species 100 fold. A kitty gets hurt, you shoot it, there will be more and it's family won't mind.
We are at the top of the food chain for a reason, and the way we kill our food is more "humane" than the way animals kill prey in the wild. Animals are below us and I just can't fathom when people see animals as equals. I can't see spending $900 on a cat surgery when there are humans in need.
I've never killed an animal I wasn't going to eat, or that wasn't suffering. I respect them, but they have their place.
Slow night, I'm bored.........

I agree with harold, also grew up on and near farms and have seen cats and kittens die all the time, weather they are sleeping under the hood when the car starts, get stepped on by the cows, stick their head in holes they cant back out of, i mean things happen and cats reproduce like rabbits on the farm. and if they died we just tossed them in the spreader as we found them. and on the farm cats are not missed by the other cats, maybe in your home they are but not on the farm, thems be free roamin kitties at their own risk.
but that does not give anyone the reason to abuse an animal on purpose for their entertainment. and though i dont see cats much higher than rats in my book i believe torture is never acceptable whether it be a mouse or a dog
but also does not give anyone else the right to do harm to someone else who has done something wrong, if u are reading it, he got caught and the law can take care of it. its not your place to take the law into your hands its only going to get u in trouble. exposing him to the neighbors will be more effective, make him feel shame and let them know what kind of strange he is!
