"They had a party, and someone decided to torture a cat," Michael said. "They tied a shoestring around its neck and held it up by the string, squirted it with lighter fluid and lit it on fire."

Why didn't you post the whole article?

[Inge_CAV]

In the past I have but now I prefer an excerpt to reduce risk to FR. This paper is owned by NY Times and why give them something to hit us with.

It takes one sick sonofabitch to do something like this. How do you punish a sicko like this?

[Inge_CAV]

Some will advocate that the perp be punished with the same treatment he gave the kitten..........

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I can't say that I would be too heartbroken if he received the same treatment.

[Inge_CAV]

The sick, elderly and young, humans and animals, all reach out for our care, help, love and understanding.

Yet, some want to douse them with lighter fluid and set them on fire.

"Suspect sought for torturing cat" - -

WHY? Somethin' wrong wit dat??????

[truenospinzone]

You may want to duck and cover after that one. Apparently you didn't see the last thread here about a kitten being tortured using fire - most of us don't find joking about that kind of thing appropriate or welcome in the least, and I'm sure many, many people will be by to let you know that.

Allow a cat to dangle from a certain appendage of the perp's body. A non-declawed cat of course.

[Inge_CAV]

Yep, new laws that will put you in jail, and they are enforced.

[NMFXSTC]

Yeah, but in ALABAMA????????????????????????

[Inge_CAV]

Oh yes, most definitely enforced in Alabama.

I've read enough threads on Freerepublic where the future Dahmers and Geins think it's just hilarious to make jokes about this type of evil.

They make me sick. I'm in the process of putting together a story of my own about my own cat (actually my elderly mother's cat--but it comes down to the same thing since I think of him as my cat and I pay the vet bills) who was shot last week by evil neighborhood gang-type kids.

[billbears]

As a matter of fact, yes. I'm not even going to click on the article. Seen enough to judge. There's no reason for this and the criminal should have the same thing done to him

I think the perp has demonstrated exactly what his punishment should be.

Sound to me like the "neighborhood cats" need to be armed, and a vigilante style cat-posse(or would that be Pusse) need to clean up the neighborhood. It would be better for the cats, as well as your mother IM(Never)HO!

Think you can get the neighborhood "cats" together?

"Anyone who tortures an animal is sick"

Amen!

The individual that made that sort of statement, is apparently a poor jokester, or a very sick person himself.
