I agree that partial-birth abortions are brutal and the issue should be examined more closely. However, it doesn't excuse the fact what this psycho done to a living creature.

Before I get accused of being a animal rights nutjob, I hunted growing up and killed, grilled, and ate everything I hunted. I still believe all creatures deserve respect. We are stewards of this Earth so we should act like it.

Does that respect apply to cock roaches? How about to mice, where we choke them to death in such a ghastly way with a mouse trap. How about clubbing harp seals in Canada? You can shoot a deer and it will possibly run away from you and be in terrible pain for days.

I agree that the guy has some serious issues. I just don't see the life of a cat as being all that big a deal. Not enough to put someone in prison for seven months. It sets a bad precedent. It cannot be far away when drowning moles or setting mouse traps or setting racoon traps is considered just as bad.
