Everyday thing? Um. Okay.
My granfather talked about kids who tied tom cats’ tails together and threw them over the clothes line. The cats killed each other.
He laughed when he talked about it. Everyday thing....
BACK before computer games.
My mother rescued a cat that was being tortured in a clothes drier. The cat went insane ever since.
Kids used to poke sticks at cats. They used to throw rocks at them and laugh. Every single day in every town.
Thank God for computer games.
There was one wonderful cat back in the 50s. It taught a dog how to bury its business and had a great relationship with a young girl.
The cat had to fight with a dog to eat food. Starved, it scratched the girl who was eating sometime. Scratched her one time.
The mother grabbed the cat by the tail and hurled it out in the woods. Cat never seen again.

We have come a long way with humanity toward animals.
