Another "What the Hell is Wrong with People?" Post
« on: March 04, 2018, 12:15:18 PM »
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people? Some people might say, "It was just a cat, four years is too much", but to me, this is a pretty just sentence. People that would do this to an animal are likely unstable enough that removing them from society is a good thing.

Evidence of which is that the smiling guy in the mugshot photo immediately made a shank in jail (for which he got another five years). The expression on the face of the other guy is of the "Why did I hitch my wagon to his star?" variety.

On the plus side, so to speak, is that the miscreants are of different races.    It is good to see that stupidity is apparently racially blind.

What was so outrageous about this?  Was it because they killed a kitten?  Or because they used a rock?

If they killed a spider with a shoe would that be ok?  How about a cow with a slug to the back of the head? 

A chicken for a sacrifice, not to eat? 

What animals are acceptable to kill for fun?  Or food?  Or profit?

What about the part before the rock? You know - the dragging behind the car and all? How much psychopathic behavior is normal? You think these guys would make good babysitters?

The fact that they then posted the video is the odd part to me.  Odd facebook group.

If all they did was kill the cat (quickly), I wouldn't have much to say about it.  Dragging it behind a car deliberately is pretty cruel. 

Does it rank up there enough to justify years of prison time?  I am a bit surprised the law allowed such a long sentence.  This is pretty much what the law was put in place to punish. 

I was trying to think how this ranks with dog fighting and cock fighting, but I don't have any experience with those.

Partly that, partly the sadistic nature of the act.  Torture of animals is how many serial killers start out.

I misread the account as moving the cat out of sight instead of physically dragging it with a car.

Yeah, they deserve jail time, but 6 months is plenty.

None.



So it is not acceptable to kill animals for food.  Is the cat in your picture a vegetarian?

 ;/

FYI, cats are obligate carnivores. They evolved with he necessity to eat meat. Otherwise they die.

If you try to turn a cat into a vegetarian (and more than one brain dead granola crunching fuckstick has tried), you either have to provide it with supplements that are derived from... meat... or it will die.

Attempting to turn a cat into a vegetarian is animal abuse of the worst sort, because it's imposing your own *expletive deleted*ed up concept of a moral compass on something that has no capacity to understand the concept of mortality.

From the info given in the article, I'd agree on six months, or even some kind of supervised probation for the guy on the right. For smiley,  I think the longer term is acceptable given we don't put people in mental institutions anymore. He seems to be a guy that will never learn his lesson. I predict when they let him out early in a couple of years, that he'll immediately do something else stupid, or worse, harmful to people.

As the saying goes, some people just need killin'.
