On Monday, Olympia police found the 12th cat when they responded to the 3800 block of Pacific Avenue when people nearby reported finding a cat brutally murdered.

I don’t want to offend any animal lovers (I love animals myself) but you can not murder an animal.

The word murder is very specifically defined as an unlawful killing of a human being.

Modern society’s anthropomorphizing of animals must be reversed. It is taking us in a very dangerous and immoral direction.

Spot on. They’ll probably give this guy 30 years for killing cats while the courts let illegal aliens that kill people off with a warning. https://www.oregonlive.com/forest-grove/index.ssf/2017/05/driver_who_ran_over_girls_play.html

It is taking us in a very dangerous and immoral direction.

An example of this (direction) is the movie "The Drop" with Tom Hardy. A bad guy beats a pup and in the end, Tom Hardy murders the bad guy. Hardy's character clearly chastises the bad guy for, among other things, beating defenseless animals. The event is a celebratory moment in the movie because the bad guy beat the dog in the first place.

The original book was called "Animal Rescue."
