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.
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 (cowards!) 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!
For people who love cats
If like myself you happen to love cats then the RSPCA is the place to report incidents of animal cruelty. There's also Cats Protection an organisation dedicated to the care of UK cats and Cat Chat, which is another cat rescue resource.

Obviously they soon die with no oxygen.
Despite protests there is apparently a brisk trade in these abominations outside train stations.
The latest refinement of cruelty is "living key chains". A fish, tiny turtle or salamander is kept in a sealed plastic bag and used as a charm or key chain. It can live up to 2 months in this plastic tomb. Words fail me.
I am going to be checking the origin of goods that I buy and avoiding products made in China, whenever possible - althought that is hard to do these days. Worth a try though.

In that time only 83 people in the whole country bothered to sign it. The link was posted here several times.
It should have been about motorways or parking. There might have been more interest.
The indifference to suffering is shocking and depressing. Anyone who actually cares could still contact their MP about it. There is an increase in so called " fun fur " this winter. Not everything labelled as fake fur actually is.
There is a e-petition to demand that the goverment ban imports of these products.
Please sign it and ask everyone you know to do the same. It is very little effort to try to end this intolerable suffering
Thank you

The obfuscation of your comments must because you are of a bibulous nature.
Or you are quite mad, or just a tosser.
‘Not enough room to swing a cat’
They are therefore to be congratulated, for passing this knowledge on to people who are illiterate, but who can gain knowledge by way of a visual demonstration.

This is amazing and horrible at the same time.
