Two teenagers have been arrested for trying to blow up a 7-month-old kitten on July 3, the Citrus Heights police said Tuesday.

The teenagers, who were not identified, were booked on felony counts of exploding a destructive device and cruelty to animals.

Spoken like a city girl who doesn't know the difference between her you-know-what and a hole in the ground, even if you did spot her both hands and a flashlight!

Hmm...this is also very telling. I was born and raised country....will always be a country girl.....

Look who doesn't know her "you know what" from a hole in the ground! HELLLLO.

But, with a few simple instructions, I am sure you will understand and get the hang of the concept soon enough!

LOL! Tell you what, if you think it is so easy, why don't you try to go out and just take a picture of a male turkey in the wild or a white-tailed buck?

Yes, in some parts of the country, where hunting restrictions and land development have resulted in huge herds of deer who are used to seeing people, hunting can be quite easy. Doing a good job of it and killing with a single shot is not as easy at someone as uneducated in the process as yourself might believe.

But the hunters I know call that "harvesting," not hunting.

Then it's a pity your daddy didn't take you out and teach you how to hunt! You might have turned out a little more reasonable and a lot more likeable that way.

First it's animal abuse then it human abuse, aka, school shootings. These boys are sick individuals, most of the school shooters started out abusing animals. Maybe these miscreants can get some serious help.

I'll bet that some SSRI and or Ritalin had something to do with this.

These drugs are mind altering.

ALL of the school shooters, yes, every last one of them, were either on Ritalin or Ritalin and an SSRI.

I wonder what these cat-torchering kid's parents are like?

Those poor cats must of been starving...wish you would of got them fixed and some food instead of releasing them to popluate some more. The agencies are trying to educate people to do that. It would of been very cheap for you to do.
Just like people, some cats get desperate and will do anything to get food when starving even if it meant going in that cage again. I am sure it happens often. But most of the ferals I've dealt with are in colonies and even though they never get close to humans, they won't get back in that trap again ...which I wish they would do, so they can get rabbies update shots.
My point was animals are not that dumb.....and some are smarter than some humans....esp babies.

[Sungirl]

I've been around hunters my whole life. Don't try to save yourself now....you are the one who said it wasn't easy....too hard and Not simple for you. I said it was EASY. Gotcha.

[Bella_Bru]

Hmmm...I am on an SSRI and I have never felt the urge to harm an animal.

I was just pointing out that such behavior is rampant at the factory farms that produce the dead carcasses that you eat. That was all.

I have been on a bunch of ranches and have yet to see the rancher tape explosives to the side of his cow.

Sorry pal, you are going to have to do better than that to push vegan.

We had one of these in Oregon - a "Troubled Youth" doused a kitten with kerosene and set it afire. It ran into a mud puddle and doused the flames, but died a lingering death from infection a few weeks later.

The "Authorities" (all bow) when they found the little gremlin in Idaho, where its mother had fled with it, refused, as always with "Authorities", do do the one thing to it that it deserved: PUBLICIZE ITS IDENTITY.

Since whenever the perpetrator of this latest atrocity is found, the "Authorities" will of course behave in the same chickenhearted manner, someone can put forth the effort to identify the perp in this case and put up "Wanted" posters all over town with its name on them.

Or something equivalent. ANYTHING, to stigmatize the poor, misunderstood, abused, "troubled" little varmint - permanently.

Are you a teenager with raging hormones and a growing brain?

Are you on Ritalin too?

Bad combo

I hope your medication is helping you. I prefer natural means. Remeber a human brain is about 80% fat and needs ther proper fats and fatty acids to function normally.

[sneakypete]

You sound immature and jealous.

It's pretty ironic to hear this coming for a airhead PETA member,whose whole stance is based on emotion.

Look,I have no doubt you mean well. The problem is like a 8 year old with a new noisy toy,you take it too far and end up alienating most of the people who tend to lean towards good treatment for animals.

[Rebelbase]

Making the assumption that hunting and fishing is my life's work only reinforces the ASS in U of assumption.

[Sungirl]

Have you even read any of my posts? Your posts ignorantly insult everyone in here...If I alienated someone becuase I say hunting and fishing is easy, that these monster teenagers deserve to suffer, and having respect for animals...TOO BAD...LOL!! I couldn't care less if I offended someone....

You attacked me without any provocation....you better start reading posts before you go jumping on someone. Ot at leaset post your reason for attcks. Your ignorance is showing all over the place. WOW.

[Sungirl]

It was no assumption...obviously you had to work hard at hunting/fishing and are insulted that I say its easy...thereby insulting your efforts...thereby your weak attempt at trying to win this discussion by adding in the words ASSUME. OK..so it was hard work for you.....we get it!

[dread78645]

I then soak it in acetic acid and citric acid and put some spicy neurotoxins on it.
Mmmmmn,MMMMNNN! Acids and neurotoxins! Sure does sound mighty tasty!

Not really, gotta add olive oil to a wine marinade.

[StoneColdGOP]

Wonderful...

[jjbrouwer]

This may be more serious than I first thought...

[Rebelbase]

You ignorant woman. Once again you spew stupidity by making assumptions. I don't hunt. I fish once or twice a year, it is not my "life's work".

I am educated on both subject's enough to know that it takes time and pateince to learn each, not "10 minutes".

Continue with your blind assumptions, I am quite enjoying the humor of your efforts.

[Geezerette]

I think the article said that the kitten was seven months old. You'd think he/she would be quick enough to get away from his tormenters, unless he/she trusted them and had no clue that he/she was in danger.
