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?

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.

When someone else is doing it, I think it is none of my business – unless the animal is my property, in which case I would expect to be compensated in the same way I would be if they smashed out the windows of my car. Animals are property, not citizens.

On a side note, I would question the mental stability of a person who did the things you talked about. What would be the motivation?

That's not the issue here. Its isn't like the guy just did it to get his jollies.

Personally, I think he did the right thing. I "assume" the cat was a goner anyway. Why let it lay there and suffer? As for it taking 11 tries: I haven't seen the video, but I frankly doubt if the cat was really alive after the 2nd or 3rd at worst.
