They probably aren't a risk to humans since most people who do this sort of thing draw a line between human and animal - they don't respect animals as "human" as the animal rights people do.

There have been studies that suggest those who have committed serious acts against people started out abusing animals first. I know one thing, I would not want this character anywhere near my kids.

BTW, I'm not a member of PETA or anything of the sort, I like to hunt and fish occassionally and gut the catch myself. But at the same time, I don't believe in torturing animals for the sake of it. It was the pleasure they got out of it that was sick.

I actually tend to agree with you.

-But this kind of thing has gone on quite a bit over the centuries, especially in cultures where people have not been brainwashed by the likes of BAMBI and other "talking animals."

It is bad behavior, no doubt. And I wouldn't want to hang around guys who get their kicks doing this kind of thing either. It just doesn't rise to the level of getting the "authorities" involved, unless the cat was someone elses property.

If it's his own kitten, it's none of my business. It just doesn't rise to that level.

I agree.

And I'm guessing the person who tortured this animal really is a pervert.

Why?

Because if he REALLY despised the animal he would have killed it quickly: The more quickly they're killed, the less time they have on this earth.
