The problem is people just are idiots. Killing an animal in and of itself is not “Cruelty” if it was, every pork, beef, chicken and lamb processing plant would be shut down.
Secondly, I love my pets, but they are animals, they are property, they are not human beings... they are animals.. The reality is, any of you can legally put your animal down by a bullet to the brainpan at any time and you have not engaged in “Cruelty”.
The issue is this person killed what she felt was a feral rabid cat, the kill sure as hell looks like a very clean kill to me, so there is no way you can call it cruelty. The problem is she foolishly posted a photo of it on social media, so now every cat lover on the planet is just seeing their precious little pet dead instead of just a feral animal put down.
Sorry, but there is absolutely no cruelty in any of what was done. There are tons of cases of animal cruelty out there, but this case sure isn’t one of them, and its certifiably insane that there are folks trying to argue that it is.
Agreed, if she thought it was rabid or feral. There was not enough info in the article to know.
Arrow to a head is pretty quick. Good shot too.
Anyone who has lived in the country has had to put down an animal or two, be it distemper, rabies or a cat that was hit by a car and has a broken back. It is just reality that one can avoid when one lives in a suburb and you replace children with animals.
There is more info out there on this kill than what this article is stating.........I've posted several links that might be interesting to you
