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.

Just kill these two a$$holes before they grow up and hurt some human. It's been a while since I was a teen but I don't remember ever trying to mutilate any living things. Well, besides roaches.

Pretty disgusting. Just another good reason to not let your pets wander the neighborhood. You can whine all you want about 'its just an animal' but torturers have no place in the human race, none whatsoever...even cockroaches have their proper place, but these bastards don't have any.

[Fraulein]

No, that was NOT the point. I do NOT advocate the inhumane treatment of animals. 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 do NOT eat cat, I do NOT eat dog , and if you are a vegan trying to use this thread to denounce those of us who do eat meat, then I respectfully suggest that you not do so. Should you contine in that vein, then I and others , will no doubt explain to you the purpose / grand design of your teeth, and just what they are for. : - )

There is also a very strong link to serial killers to people who abuse animals if my memory is correct. These two deserve to be watched very closely for the rest of their lives or certainly for a very long time in addition to any punishment that is given them.

[nopardons]

Yes, I have read those studies. I really can't imagaine how anyone could wish to torture someone else's pet , without being mentally deranged. I may wish to kill the damnednable deer, who eat my plants; however , I don't wish to torture them. They'd make a fine venison stew,too. hehehehe

All mammal babies have the same attributes, which is why people are such suckers for them. How on earth could those two boys do such a thing, looking into that tiny, sweet kitten's face ? They must be dead inside, already.

Hey, Bella, we've had our differences, bu believe me, I'd gladly help you, IF some nutter ever tried to do anything to your cat. : - )

[Fraulein]

I guess I got my answer.

[StoneColdGOP]

Ouch. Appropriate methinks.

[StoneColdGOP]

Umm... No one said anything about human lives being outweighed in importance by animal lives.

You're a fool to make such an assumption. Get a grip.

[Bella_Bru]

Gee, that only took 30 posts. I know it is difficult, but try and have at least one conversation a day WITHOUT abortion. Try it. Maybe, comment on the weather or something.

[Bella_Bru]

You are just as heartless as anyone who has an abortion. You don't give a whit about a defenseless animal, and that makes you NO BETTER.

[Fraulein]

There's no reason why someone couldn't care about both animals and babies. It's not a mutually exclusive choice.

[StoneColdGOP]

Fine. Go start a pro-life thread and play on it.

We were merely discussing the brutality of this case, no one said ANYTHING about abortion until you and you started trying to insinuate that we cared more for cat lives than humans.

[StoneColdGOP]

Exactly!

[WolfsView]

and flies JS I think I remeber you squashing a few. I knew a kid in highschool who used to stick firecrackers in lizards mouths.

these two need to be beaten with a large stick (aka Bat)

[Fraulein]

Strange, isn't it, that when people say that it's okay to hurt an animal because it is not a person...they are using the same argument made by pro-choice folks in reference to the fetus...

Ma'am, if it came down to starving or "stir fry feline" or "sweet-n-sour canine"...well, there would be no "strays" around my house.
It tastes like chicken...
I hear pigeon is pretty good too.
