I love cats and dogs, but this is going way too far.
That this nothing story is reported by an NBC affiliate while so many more important stories are ignored says everything about our society’s values.
I hear the kitten bounced back.
- Pacheco allegedly threw the animal across a patio and into a wall
A patio is outside so hitting the wall could have been wholly unintentional.
Gee. I once hurled a cat about 20 feet out my front door. But then the cat had just peed on my head while I was sleeping. I was annoyed the cat landed on it’s feet. But pleased it’s composure was quite ruffled.
What does the fact that this guy was a marine have to do with anything? Nothing, of course, unless you want to perpetuate the stereotype that military service/warfare more often than not results in psychopathic, violent behavior.
Well hopefully this tough-guy Marine gets sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, where his opponents get a chance to return the hurt right back at him. Poor little Jarhead got scratched by a kitty and threw a temper tantrum! Dock his pay for the vet bill and put him in harm’s way. There are plenty of enemies out there for him to vent his anger against....
When will the investigation into the vet clinic be ready for indictment?
I don’t dig animal cruelty but if the animal bit him and he threw it against the wall, it seems like a pretty natural reaction.
Still, I would feel for the little guy and take him to the vet, but that’s life.
Doesn’t seem like a crime but instinct on both their parts.
Has that Cat been charged with assault?
If the cat had thumbs he’d be snapping!
A cat - and especially a kitten - does not scratch or bite someone unprovoked. If this is true - this sorry excuse for a human should be penalized to the full extent of the law. I hope he serves 1000 hours scooping litter boxes as a community service when he gets out of jail. He does no credit to his training. It was a despicable, idiotic act that speaks to his lack of character and humanity.
Did it stick?
He ought to pay the vet fees.
The Marine should be commended, as he was kind enough to let the thing live after it bit him. If some nasty cat were to do the same to me, I'd stomp its lights out on the spot.
There’s just something about a pussy and a marine.
Did the cat fling 15 feet because the guy reacted to it biting and scratching him and he knocked it? Or did he pick the cat up and intentionally wind up and throw it into a wall?
The first is nothing as far as I’m concerned, the latter is well just a disturbed person.
Pity, from this report you can’t tell what happened at all.
