To: Conservative til I die
While exploding someone's car is a senseless waste of resources, cars are merely property. Sending someone to prison for a year for exploding another's car is utterly useless.

Assuming that the explosion is treated as theft instead of as attempted murder stealing a car is a felony. Stealing a kitten is not.

Like it or not a car has more value than a kitten. You can walk down almost any street in summer and find someone giving away free kittens. Very rarely would you find someone giving away free cars.

Well, value depends on what an individual puts on things. Myself, my 9 cats are infinitely valuable, I'd do anything for them, they are family to me. True perhaps you cannot put in a monetary value on a kitten/cat/pet, but there is more to things than monetary value. Heck, my mother and I spent close to $1000 taking care of a kidney infection for a 14 year old Burmese cat. We had one opinion that she would die in a month or two. That was January 4th and Muffin is still running around and doing well.
