It makes me sick when I hear how some people in this country can be so cruel to animals, particularly cats.  All too frequently there are stories in the news of cruelty and horrible deaths and it has just got to be stopped.

Mogsi, cat in a basket

Whilst on my routine journey home after work yesterday I switched on the radio as usual.  The news came on and I could not believe what I was hearing, my guts completely turned and it brought tears to my eyes.   Two youths in the town where I live, had thrown a young 7-month-old cat in front of a car and filmed the sick incident on their mobile phones.  Unfortunately when they were confronted by the driver of the car they ran off and so will not be punished for being so cruel to a helpless little kitten.   Happy slapping seems to be the latest craze amongst youths.  I can not get my head around how anyone can be so sick and wrong in the head to actually go and do something like that and worst of all capture it on video.

These mini-snuff movies involving cruelty to animals (that are apparently doing the rounds on a lot of mobile phones) are just completely sick and degrade the standards that humans are supposed to set.

I mean it makes you wonder what sort of parents these sick individuals have.  I thought we were meant to be a nation of animal lovers.  They should catch these kids, severely punish them and then put them on a list so that they are never allowed to keep animals.  In fact, if I had it my way they would never be capable of owning an animal because if I caught someone doing this kind of stuff their final moments would be very painful.  I would be prepared to do time!

To give you some idea how widespread this problem is Ive compiled a list of similar stories from the BBC News web site.  Have a look at these and then tell me you dont care!

(PUBLISHER NOTE: The cat shown in these photos is not connected in any way to this incident or any of these stories, as far as I'm aware 'Mogsi' is still alive and well and living with my ex! He always did like posing for a photograph though.)

The cat in question probably took its imprisonment on its chin and fell asleep, no harm was done and its owners are now media celebreties with the bin in question now worth a fortune,

One thing overlooked is that cat-woman works in a bank, now that is something to gripe about, making money and a living for effectivly doing a wasterers job.

The average european non vegeterian eats around 1000 animals in their lifetime, (including me)

Comprising of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, etc etc,

Put's the death threats given to this cat-binning woman into perspective. what would the animals say?

It's quite interesting the way the public have suddenly become interested in the Mary Bale case. Things like this happen all the time, it's just fortunate that this time the camera was rolling. Perhaps others will think twice and wonder who is watching before mistreating animals (or people). Personally, I think she should receive some punishment for her actions, community service or something but I think the witch hunting hate campaign that is equally as wrong.

I, personally love all animals and, therefore, people as well. I have cats for pets simply because of how I live. I do not believe in confining a dog in such a small apartment such as the one I live in. And, I would expect that the people outside of that woman's door are animal lovers in general not just all cat lovers. It has been documented in so many ways that people who hurt one kind of animal will hurt others and people as well. So, as I was warned by someone, stay away from such people.

The media have put a name to this womans face, and now she is bearing the full force of local mob hatred,

Revenge seekers have gathered outside her home, and she now has to have the police guarding her, and her house,

Seventeen years on, the public do not know what Jamie Bulgers killers now look like, or even know their new names,

But one things for sure, the Jamie Bulger murderers will be getting a better nights sleep tonite than cat-woman.

`Woman puts cat in wheelie bin'
Thats the place for rubbish.

I wonder what is wrong with some people that they hate cats so much. A woman stopped to , apparently, pet a family's cat that was sitting on a wall and then, after looking around to see if she was being watched, picked her up and dumped her in a rubbish bin where she was trapped for 15 hours.

Anyone who makes jokes here about that sort of behaviour is lending support to these sick people:

"I hate cats" - "shame you dont get so worked up about human suffering"

Do you know the original poster? How do you know that this person is not a doctor or someone engaged in medical research trying to cure cancer? You don't. You just make the assumption that if someone likes animals they must hate people.

Those who enjoy inflicting pain on the helpless always like to shift blame and make excuses for their behaviour. If you like to make animals suffer then you are just sick and twisted, there is no excuse.

humans deserve to suffer-theyre stupid.animals would be fine if we left them alone.
*tr  23-Aug-2010 18:24

 
shame you dont get so worked up about human suffering, and to say "their last moments would be very painfull" well that just sums you up.
*i hate cats  23-Aug-2010 18:20

 
Yeah, that's what the witch-hunters in Salem, MA and elsewhere probably said and did, too. They all seem to really, really, really, really love dogs-especially the large female ones.
