I think that people who harm animals on purpose(not accidents) should be electrocuted....
Had you personally bit off any of those chicken heads? Just asking.
Pussy.
"Some people eat people...and fetuses....what's your point?"
Well, Hitler gassed jews. That does not mean that workers at animal shelters should be treated as little hitlers.
My point is that, unlike PETA, I do not believe a boy is a dog is a cat. Animals are animals. They are not people and do not contain within them the same intrinsic value. They are "meat on the hoof".

No. I used a hatchet.
I thought you'd want to comment on this thread...don't ask me why....just thought of you....
"This guy deserves to be run over 11 times. Bastard."
His parentage really is not in question here... 8^>
A cat or dog can experience agony just as thoroughly as a human can. And it tends to have very similar psychological effects if the animal survives: anti-social behavior within its own species, severe aggression and/or fear, and very easily startled into expressing aggression/fear, just like humans with PTSD.
"Run over? He deserves to be drug around a parking lot a few times himself just to see how it feels."
How it feels to a human, or how it feels to a cat?
So you believe that an animal can be tortured or be made to suffer at the hands of humans ....whenever they feel like doing it and not be punished? You think that's ok?
I watch the animal cops shows sometimes. First, in cities with loads of poor people getting murdered every day, these cops are responding to animal issues. OK, but then they frequently arrest some extremely poor and ignorant person and take them away in cuffs for not getting their dog veterinary care. On occasion they arrest someone and then it turns out the dog was born with a bad leg, the person was innocent.
I would rather see the resources spent helping the people.
Lot's of folks don't have the guts to do that.
I agree entirely with you. This guy needs to be thankful he does not live in my town, I would surely put HIM out of HIS misery.
Some of these idiots, "its only a cat". So what??
I can think of human scum worth much less than the life of a maggott let alone a cat.
Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but are you implying a cat doesn't feel pain? Again, sorry if I'm way off the mark.
A cat can feel pain just as a human can. How it would feel to a human to be drug around. I can stand a lot of things but cruelty to animals is not one of them.
BTW I have no doubt that an animal such as a cat experiences pain at a level quite similar to what a human experiences. I don't know why some think animals can't suffer or feel pain the same way we do.
I do not believe animals feel pain. I do not believe they are conscious. I believe they are little (or sometimes big) natural creatures with a brain that is a shadow of the human brain but, even more so, without the ability to interpret their surroundings with the same awareness of man, who was designed in Gods image, which animals were not.
Animals are meat on the hoof, which require no refrigeration as long as they are kept functioning. As a bonus, they also serve the same purpose for adults and children that a teddy bear serves for small children. If my wife dies before me, I will get a Golden Retriever and name him Chester. I will not get him fixed.
Although animals are not people, they do deserve to be treated humanely.
Cats are not "meat on the hoof".
They have been domesticated for both utilitarian purposes (pest and rodent control) and as companions/pets.
