Supposedly, there are extensive underground chambers remaining from an abandoned mine under the streets of, IIRC, Paris. In one of the side chambers a group of explorers found a pile of small animal skulls which were later determined to be cat skulls.

Immediately over this pile of cat skulls they noticed an opening to daylight. Examination of a good map led them to this opening at the surface. It was an old well in the backyard of a restaurant which for years had specialized in rabbit dishes.

This story was in Readers Digest years ago.

Arguing with some people about this type of thing is a lost cause, I’d just let it go if I were you.

All kinds of people see cats as fair game for any kind of torture or mistreatment. To many of them, it is just a laugh a minute to imagine a cat being butchered alive.

Hard to believe, but many of them embrace the cruelty aspect.

Kids, I might understand, they sometimes don’t know any better, especially if they haven’t had parents who have told them on one level that killing with cruelty for the sheer entertainment value is sinful, and on a different level, what belongs to others is not yours to dispose of as you see fit.

I find some of the comments on this thread disturbing.

Explain how, given the article descriptions and the ways the animals were killed, alive and conscious enough for others to hear them screaming, that it wasn’t intentionally cruel? He obviously didn’t chop the heads off first, presumably to avoid them suffering through skinning them, given the eyewitness account (that you for some reason believe there may be reason to cast doubt on). They clearly were put through this to feel pain before being killed.

Ya’ll just leave my cat alone.

[fortheDeclaration]

And your point is?

[fortheDeclaration]

It doesn't matter, it is animal cruelty.

[fortheDeclaration]

Should have gotten far more punishment.

Here is a picture.



A psychopath according to the neighbors description of him in the neighborhood.

[fortheDeclaration]

You are an idiot.

[fortheDeclaration]

Yes, and these are suppose to be ‘conservatives’ with some moral compass.

[GSWarrior]

He doesn’t appear to be suffering from starvation. Hard to tell.

My step-father was a fireman with the Mountain View, CA fire dept. in the seventies. While doing an inspection at a local Chinese restaurant, they came across several hundred dressed carcasses that they suspected were cats. Upon further investigation, it was found that they were for some special Chinese celebration. All the paper work was in order and all were USDA inspected and stamped ‘Choice’.

I always wondered where the ranch, feed-lot, etc. for cat was located. And how do you become a catboy?

Not to mention the old chestnut about herding cats...
