So was the punishment for killing a cat, or for killing someone's pet, or for destroying someone's property?
It was for treating GODS creation with disrespect and for being revengeful, being a bully, being capable of murder (if it was a boyfriend of his wifes-he would no doubt be dead), uncontrolled rages, snapping and committing a hate crime (he resents the cat becuz his wife loved it).
