The cat found beaten and nailed to a utility pole in rural Henry County, Illinois has died, according to the Dana Miller Veterinary clinic, which was caring for the animal.

A spokesperson said the cat, nicknamed "Dutch" passed away last night.

Dutch was found nailed by one paw to the utility pole near Dutch Bottom road outside the town of Geneseo on Monday.

He just wanted to satisfy his sadistic tendencies.

If you wanted to satisfy your sadistic tendencies, would you do it on an animal, such as a cat?

And some folks get so bent out of shape that our foolish regime currently allows abortions that they forget about the buds that can be nipped on the way.

A better question: if animals have souls, why don’t they have spiritual/religious rituals, or for that matter religion in the first place? There’s really only so far you can go on the “everything has a soul” argument before you end up in pantheism.

How does that translate to any kind of mandate that articles like the above should not be published here?

Think of how many goats got molested along the way to that girl in Arabia if you want to get a sense of connection back.

Oh I totally agree...

Animals are referred to in the biblical creation account with the term nephesh which is spelled exactly the same way as the nephesh which is the human soul. Rocks, oceans, trees, &c. never get honored with the term nephesh. Never.

Must’ve used a nail gun. Or there were two of them.

In the initial article they report that the cat had been severely beaten prior to being nailed to the pole and was almost lifeless when rescued. The cat ultimately died from brain swelling. They must catch the criminal who did this before the perp moves on to people.

"Just read story about 13 y/o child, forced into ‘marriage’ and died from sex organ being ruptured and she bleed to death in Arab country - that makes me a lot sicker than the tragic fate of a cat!"

I don't put the death of the cat in front of the death of a human. But did it occur to you the bastard who did this will stop at cats?

One more falls into a false dichotomy.

Compassion without priority is worthless, since it cannot be acted upon effectively.
Do you understand what I am saying?
If you where to see with eye wide open, and truly know all of the tragedies that happens daily in the world, you could not function!

Animals have to have souls. Because I believe with out souls there is no love. And believe me animals love. I truly believe my animals love me... And with out souls all animals would be the same.. Each animal has its own personality...

"Think of how many goats got molested along the way to that girl in Arabia if you want to get a sense of connection back."

Good shot.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Priority withOUT logic is also worthless.

The more people I meet, the more I like animals.

That may apply to your chosenly crippled state of philosophy, but does not apply to most of us.

"The more people I meet, the more I like animals."

Same here. But it does depend on the animal.

So are you going to leave you abode and go investigate and hunt down the potential social psychopath?
If not, what is the significance of the realization you wish me to realize?

[HiTech RedNeck]

When are you going to leave YOUR abode and do something about abortionists? If not you are just blowing hot air.

Wonderful, more power to YOU!
