and how many Innocent children were killed before they saw daylight in the same town? I'm sorry, but given the background of children be murdered ‘BY Mother's Choice” daily, leaves me totally uninterested in the fate of cats.

It's actually possible to be interested in both - it's not like we're each given a small, limited amount of compassion and decency that we must carefully invest. Cats aren't as important as children, but a society too busy with other problems to be appalled by the torture and killing of helpless cats is a society in trouble.
