BTW... I have animals I love, I am in the process right now digging a hole to bury my mom/mine Austrilian Blue Healer. One of the best dogs I have owned, female of course, full blooded/spayed. Mom wanted her when I moved off. She would take on a dog twice her size and defend mom better than any other dog I have have owned. She was 14 y/o last month. I will bury her between two mulberry trees in the best spot on my property. Gotta go pick her up now..... Boo Hoo Bye Maltida Bay. Will miss ya girl ..
The fact of the matter is, an animal like a kitten feels the pain of being burned to death, for no apparent reason beyond cruelty.
This person is evil and is likely to commit horrendous crimes against other beings, including those who are human. I say give maximum punishment for him and anyone who watched while this happened and did nothing - they clearly have little respect for the sanctity of life.
I prefer my rabbit killed quickly and cleanly before it's grilled. No pain for the rabbit. Food for me.
However, this isn't a hunting OR an abortion issue : it about this guy's sadistic act, and the group of co-sadists who enjoyed watching it, rather than stop it.
Both of you should seek professional help.
