I used to have a cat, Kenneth, and he would constantly jump into my lap so I'd toss him like a dart (and he'd come right back, for hours upon hours).

I once figured that if you added up all the times I've thrown him, it'd be about the same as a trip from Philadelphia to Las Vegas.

So should no one be taken to prison for harming their own children either?

Animals are NOT people. Stop being an emotional idiot.

Are you claiming a cats life is equal in value to ones own offspring?

Nonsense. Cruelty-to-animals crimes should be severely punished becuase they are a surefire mark of sociopathy, and the ONLY thing that will prevent the perps from progressing to human victims is to put FEAR into them.

Yeah, a trebuchet, because a cat-a-pult would be too small.

Actually, it’s not bs. Check out any of the writings of Roy Hazelwood, Rob Ressler or Mark Douglas (FbI “profilers”). They all agree that the “serial killer triad” is people who: 1. history of pyromania, 2. bed-wetting beyond the normal age, 3. cruelty to animals.

It’s not very nice calling someone you don’t know an idiot. I have a right to my opinion too. I’m not saying that animals are equal to humans but I don’t think they should be abused either. But, you go ahead and keep calling me an idiot, since it makes you feel better about yourself.

Your “All serial killers drank milk, therefore all milk drinkers are serial killers” logic doesn’t quite work. Good try, though. My BS comment stands, because it is BS.

FWIW, the perpetrators of animal cruelty, as well as, on Free Republic, the defenders and minimizers thereof, are men. Just seems to be a callousness and bravado that even the toughest Freeper women don’t have.

“This guy should fry.”

No he should be punished for animal abuse, putting him to death is overkill.

” Cats are nice animals”

They are nasty creatures if they don’t get what they want.
