Cat nailed to Henry County utility pole dies, rewards issued for killer

It is necessary to rebuke the cruel!

[J Edgar]

sorry - I’m not following your line of thought here

[HiTech RedNeck]

Which is why I do so. Why the spectacle of a cat beaten and nailed to a tree should render you supposedly uncaring about cruelty of man to man, is something you will have to answer in your own soul before God — it is not something that can by any reasoning be pinned on FR. Go to Democratic Underground or the Daily Kos if you want to inveigh about some sense of priority, at least till they ban you.

[J Edgar]

“Methinks you project from yourself.”
Ok if you say so!

[HiTech RedNeck]

I think you know and don’t want to admit. FR gives an admirable priority to the issue of the inhumanity of man to man. Look to yourself for an ulterior reason for jumping on a single article about the inhumanity of man to animal.

[re_nortex]

It was immoral and a psychopathic act of cruelty, probably perpetrated by a future serial killer or at a minimum, a killer. What’s your point?

Thank you.

It wasn't quite clear (at least to me, probably a bit slow on the uptake) elsethread precisely what you thought of act. It was implicit that you didn't condone this mistreatment of the helpless cat but by stating it outright, perhaps we'll all be able to remain FRiendly colleagues.

And now...my cat is meowing for his post-midnight feeding. Goodnight to all.

“Go to Democratic Underground or the Daily Kos if you want to inveigh about some sense of priority, at least till they ban you.”
Thanks for the compassionate advice!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Get out the mirror and ask why one article among many should draw your wrath. What sin against the consideration of the inhumanity of man to man did this article commit?

[J Edgar]

Not sure - maybe I made a mistake - have some compassion for me!

[HiTech RedNeck]

The disturbing point is that somehow J. Edgar thinks it commits some kind of wrong to the consideration of the inhumanity of man to man.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If it did not commit a wrong, and if FR as a whole has the very sense of priority you say you want, then ask yourself why the knee jerk.

Nah... too kind. Stake him out over an ant hill, slathered in honey. Or stretch him out on the ground, naked, get a couple BIG rats, a large steel bowl and some fire. Place bowl upside down over genital area, put rats under bowl, add fire to top of bowl and step back, watching rats eat and claw their way away from the fire. Repeat as desired until scumbag is well and truly eaten away.

I don't like to assume things but I will go a little way out on the limb and assume that no one on this thread is killing babies or torturing cats. At least not right now.

So, what priority are you acting on here? Do you think because people have expressed their feelings about this horrible incident that they don't care about abortion? Did anyone say that this bothered them more than abortion does? Who are you trying to rebuke and for what?

[J Edgar]

I’m just a hard core kind of person - if I was running a site like FR, and I’m not because I’m not that smart, but if I did, I would ban all cat killing stories until children could be conceived without being murdered before they left the womb!
That’s just my sense of priority.

[re_nortex]

I don't like to assume things but I will go a little way out on the limb and assume that no one on this thread is killing babies or torturing cats. At least not right now.

A mostly correct assumption. But I must confess that earlier today, though, I did spray some RoundUp on the crabgrass. Forgiven? :-)

[J Edgar]

If I could sum it up in a bumper stick kind of way it would be that human babies are more precious and important than cats! It’s that simple in my mind - sorry, but it seems entirely logical to me

[TigersEye]

As long as you didn’t get any on the cat’s paw or baby’s breath I think no harm was done. ;^)

[TigersEye]

That doesn’t explain why you rebuking others on this thread. Do you think you care more than any of us? I can assure you that you don’t.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

and how many Innocent children were killed before they saw daylight in the same town? I'm sorry, but given the background of children be murdered ‘BY Mother's Choice” daily, leaves me totally uninterested in the fate of cats.

It's actually possible to be interested in both - it's not like we're each given a small, limited amount of compassion and decency that we must carefully invest. Cats aren't as important as children, but a society too busy with other problems to be appalled by the torture and killing of helpless cats is a society in trouble.

“I can assure you that you don’t.”
You can assume anything that delights your heart!
I can ignore unwarranted assumptions as I see fit. So we have no argument to pursue do we?
