MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. - Police have arrested a Muskegon Heights man after they say he threw the family cat up to 20 times, possibly breaking the animal's back and leg.

Police say the 30-year-old man told them he found the cat eating his food on the kitchen counter, picked it up and threw it.

Everyone who abuses a cat is not a serial killer. However all serial killers have abused cats. Therefore anyone who has a bused a cat needs to be watched very closely and in my opinion needs to have the fear of God put into them.
LOL, I just noticed, replace cat with Muslim and serial kille with terrorist and you will have the opinons of most freepers.

Is that the best (poorly written) defense you have?

I have no idea what I would be defending. I have no idea what the sentnce i quoted means, as it follows no know language format.

I thought he threw up the same cat 20 times.
After the first time, I don't want to think about it.

Hell, I don't want to think about the first time either.

I don't buy the logic that all animal abusers are destined to become serial killers, because it's just not true.

No, not all of them progress to crimes against humans. Some of them get caught when they're still at the stage of abusing animals, get fear pounded into them by being severely punished for that crime, and spend the rest of their days looking over their shoulders while repressing their vile urges.

I don’t believe that all animal abusers become killers either. But it does show them to have a callous disregard for anything that’s helpless. I do find that scary.

That is NOT what I was saying. The logic didn’t make sense. Just because the cat was HIS cat, it was okay to abuse it???

LOL — me, I was just snickering at the irony of seeing a soft-on-crime, tra-la-la sing kumbaya, opinion expressed on FR.

NO< THAT IS NOT what the data shows! Not even close. And the logic is totally flawed!

If I told you all serial killers drank milk (substituting for cats) as children, would we also have to closely watch everyone who drank milk (substituting for cats) as children? Hell no, that’s silly.

Your logic does not work, you grossly overstate stuff (could be construed as a lie, i’ll consider it just a lack of knowledge for now), and the data you present DOES NOT back up your warping of the facts.

Maybe you should expand your study of the English language.

So am I to understand that there are people here who believe abusing animals is okay?

Are people under the impression that the animals had it coming? I’m curious about the underlying reasoning behind some of these comments...

No, animals are not human, neither can they reason like humans — but this is clearly abuse. And, call me an equivocating humanist if you must, but abusing anything with the mental capacity of a 2 - 3 year old should be an imprisonable offense. Every time.

It wouldn't help, as you didn't write that sentence in English. No fourth grade teacher would accept the crap you wrote without completely redlining it.

I promise to debate you, should I disagree with you, if you'll promise to write better than the average third grader.

Until then, have a nice day!

Who said that? I'e seen people disagree that it should be a capital crime, and people who disagree that all animal abusers are serial killers, but I don't recall anyone saying it's cool to abuse animals. I certainly do not find it acceptable.

Again, I point to the thread (today), where the old woman pummeled the fawn to death. More than one FReeper on that thread actually seemed to think that was OK!

Maybe most of us here seem to agree on right/left issues, but it’s scary to see how so many feel on the issues of animal abuse.

Defending against an animal attack is one thing, but to be outright cruel in disciplinging the the animal or just for “fun”, is pathetic and exhibits a derangement of a high degree.

Animal abuse in and of itself is horrific, but if I were a spouse or child of any of these abusers or enablers, I’d be terrified.

I had hoped that to be the case, but at least one post (don’t think it’s one of yours) seems to indicate that no punishment should occur.

As far as capital crimes...well, I’m a softy on animals, and would love to see Hammurabi’s code in use for animal abusers...

How did he swallow it 20 times in the first place?

I’m sorry the content of what I wrote apparently struck such a chord as to prompt your attack on my posting, but I can assure you the sentence I wrote was grammatical. Perhaps you shouldn’t attempt the role of grammar policeman until you you have moved beyond your own third- or fourth-grade standard. Maybe a little reading of classical literature? Maybe an English class at a local community college? But I promise not to respond to any more of your posts on this thread.

Will you promise to use proper English in the future, despite your horrible track record upthread?

Your sentence was not even freakin close to being grammatically correct.

Comma abuser! I’ll bet you are a serial killer, given that most serial killers are also comma abusers.
