Kitten treated like a football

Seriously, replace kitten with rat and you wouldn't have half of the people responding.

You may be right but I can't help that. Rats are generally viewed as vermin and are killed on sight, except for that small percentage of people who do keep them as pets. The kids would quite probably never picked up a rat to begin with, nor would a grown rat allow itself to be caught like that. An unsuspecting kitten however ...

Exactly, rats are quick little buggers. Even if one of our little sociopaths did manage to catch one, they'd almost certainly get blood poisoning and/or rabies after it gnawed on their hand for a while. They certainly wouldn't be thinking about playing with it.

Stuff like this makes me embarrassed to be a human.

Yes well, in America we don't do corporal punishment. I'd be all for it for all types of crimes. Destruction of property, 10 lashes.

Lol .. I don't know what part of America you live in but down here in my area of the USA I got my ass whipped plenty as a kid. And last I checked more than a few states still have the death penalty, so corporal punishment still exists.

The truth is if these kids were found guilty and sent to jail, the inmates would probably take care of it themselves. Animal abusers and child molesters don't generally fair well in prison ...

This. It's just a fucking animal.

I wouldn't have put it quite so bluntly as you did TallBill, but I do think that people get their panties in a bunch far more for a story involving animal abuse than they do over the massacre of people like is happening in the Congo right now.

I find it very hard to imagine why people get so upset over a kitten story and don't even think about people being killed.

The kitten story illustrates why nobody cares about people being killed: People suck.

This is why this happens. There are people like TallBill out there that thinks animals are just animals. It's the same as kicking a football. It's not like the kitten cries, tries to escape, feels pain, or is completely terrified and miserable during the experience. It's just an animal!

Anyone who's seen Tallbill's blindingly retarded, angry posting style here at least knows to dismiss his comments as the drivel they are.

I never said that kicking a cat was cool. I've never done ANYTHING purposefully to harm any animal and never have any intentions of doing so.

You all whipped out your jump to conclusions mat on this one. These guys have issues if torturing things is fun to them, but wishing death to a human for treatment of an animal is absolutely crazy.

lol at my angry posting style though I'd love to meet some of you in person so you could see how non-angry I really am. God forbid I have my own opinions on things. I don't insult you for yours!

Most people probably wish death on them for not the act itself but what the act represents and might lead to when the kids become men and the type of men they become.

Meh, despite the animal care rehab programs, animal abusers aren't really regarded at all in prison. Just another tidbit my brother-in-law taught me. They are definitely not treated the way child molesters and rapists are.

Yeah. These kinds of situations are difficult as hell to form a detailed response that explains precisely how you feel, and includes all possible variables.

They are animals, and humans performing inhumane acts/torture on animals does not justify inhumane treatment to those humans responsible. It does warrant a just response, maybe a good lashing or five and have them go for counseling.

I respect animals of all types, but beyond that, don't care about animals that are considered vermin (to a degree). That said, I'd say torturing a field mouse, raccoon, or opossum warrants the same kind of response as torturing any other animal. BUT, I definitely won't get up in arms about it, and I won't even care if people humanely such creatures. Humanely as in shotgun or arrows or something to that effect, but not picking them up and kicking them all about.
For domesticated animals, just don't touch them if you can't help by think of harming them, even if pointing a shotgun to their skull. I'm a little too attached to canines and hate seeing them harmed/killed, even if I know it's just someone taking it out back because it is in such bad shape it's better off dead. So, there are appropriate times, but rarely is that the case.

Only time battering some animal would be 'OK' is if you were doing it out of need to eat and were killing your meal... not because you want to get some sick enjoyment out of it.

If you're gonna mess with an animal, at least have the audacity to kill it and eat it, like natural intended it.

But the outrage over the kitten story (including most of the posts here) indicate the exact opposite. According to these posts, people don't suck and are extremely concerned with animal cruelty.

But strangely, there isn't the same outrage shown regarding cruelty to humans stories.

I wasn't agreeing with or disagreeing with the stance. Just interpreting people's reactions to the incident.

Ehh I don't condone cruel treatment to rats either. They may be disgusting little critters but I wouldn't play hockey with them to kill them. If they have to be put down, I do it as quickly and painlessly as possible. That's why I hate using sticky pads and finding a mouse stuck in it. I try to drown/end it as soon as possible.

handle of a knife, or other blunt object to back of the neck. Most humane way to kill a rat.

Hell, fuck lethal injections. Take that principle and apply it to murderers - much much cheaper.

This reminds me of that thread where a dumbass ran over ducklings...

 

[NFS4]

I don't like cats, but that is just fucked up. Anyone that would do that to a cat is just fucked up in the head and has some serious mental issues going on. What's stopping them from moving on to bigger and better targets (i.e., humans). Don't they say that most murderers and sociopaths start out by first harming animals?

What does that have to do with anything?

The point I'm making is, I might care more about people if they didn't do shit like kicking a kitten around like a football, or setting one on fire in a BBQ pit and putting it on youtube.

Actually you are wrong. There is even more outrage when it is a helpless human such as a child. The difference is that adult humans in most cases have some control over their situation and some recourse to take action to help themselves that children and some animals lack.

people suck because they care about other lifeforms more than their own? That's how I interpret it.

Then again, I think humans are a terrible animal and we have yet to prove why we deserve to live. All this technology does not hide our more primal instincts, which is what drives our behaviors. Uniqueness only exists in how one presents himself, but far from unique in the mind. Experiences just shape our views and how we interpret things following, and thus how we control our instinctual urges. Take away the product of environment concept and throw everyone into the same situation, eventually they'll all be nearly the same in mental processes, genetics deciding some things. Thus, we are animals, just with fancy shit. (still wondering how we made the leap from cavemen to civilizations with complex languages, as that is the only step that separates us from other animals. if you can somehow organize a civilization and develop complex language/education, the rest comes naturally as products of civilization)

Why? The world would be a tiny shred better off without kids like that, and that's not even remotely debatable.

Well, imo, I wouldn't really agree with the thought that people don't care about other people. It's just, we've become desensitized to human violence. Some activists and super liberals won't shut their trap about various atrocities happening all over the world, but the fact is, while we don't care less, we see violence against other humans all the time, and just kind of shrug it off because you are just so used to seeing it. And realize there is not a damn thing we can really do about it, because as long as we remain the same humans, we cannot stop violence directed towards other humans.

Even still, look at any thread where someone posts an article where a child is molested, killed, beaten or all of the above... You get the same reactions so I don't know where those people are going about spewing their bullshit.
