Ahhh... keeping a cat inside is cruel. I have never interacted with a house cat that was not a bit nuts or semi-retarded. A cat is a hunting and killing machine, they need to do just that. Many are very good at it and keep the local neighborhood free of various pests, only a subset become bird crazy. Cats that have free run of the world have much more character than house cats, albeit at the risk of much shorter lives.
That is reality. Keeping Mr. Pudding inside is like keeping your 5 year old inside 24/7, it is just plain cruel.
As for a bow shot to the head being cruel....well a hit to the head is instant death. Not cruel. Pretty dammed kind. That is the preferred manner to dispatch any vermin. If the women was deliberately cruel she would have shot it in the side.
I will tell you what is cruel: Ms. Bleeding Heart keeps Mr. pudding alive when he can barely walk, is crying in pain cause she doesn’t have the balls, literally or figuratively to end his suffering. So you see folks that have a cat with a broken back, you can see it, the cat is groaning in pain and they do not kindness to dispatch it right there. No.... they have to take it to the vet...where 3 hours later it gets put down after three hours of increasing pain.
A lot of bleeding hearts are really simply unable to face reality.
By the way projecting a love of dog fighting is completely without merit, some kind of weird projection. Never involved with such nor do I approve. Never said it and never thought it. Grew up with big dogs and loved them dearly. Yet I understand that the day comes when they have to be put down. A quick and surprise death is preferable to a long drawn out one. Animals have a 6th sense about death, they known when you are after them. Many know when they are going to the slaughter. Not kind.
I am not saying the women was justified, I do not know. But neither do many of the other folks condemning the girl. They see arrow head cat and their reflective condemnation rant goes off. A sign of folks that have not faced reality, projecting human attributes on animals, at least to me.
Not for cruelty or meanness, but I am for cold headed reality. a Lot posting here seem to lack any such understanding of life and death.
Beloved pets deserve to be under our control at all times. We are responsible for keeping them from harm of any kind. If my dogs got onto my neighbors property I would hope that my neighbors would not shoot them, I love my dogs, but my neighbors have a duty to protect their property as they see fit.
Pet cats should be secured, just like pet dogs. I don’t want my neighbors’ dogs pooping on my property. I don’t want their cats pooping on my property. I don’t want my dogs pooping on their property. It’s common sense and common decency.
Your view of cats is simply nonsense.
As for the head shot, the fact that it was quick doesn't change the fact that her intention was cruel, she could have easily hit the eye instead.
There are different levels of cruelty, a fact that seems lost on guys like you.
