"At the risk of bringing down the rath of PETA, I really don't care about the kitten. The issue is what he did to the little girl. If someone did that to my daughter I would beat the crap out of him."

I like to hunt, I love to eat red meat, I have no problem wearing leather shoes and belts, and I don't mind fishing either. So, this isn't coming from PETA. Animals deserve humane treatment - that doesn't mean they have the same rights we do. Also, how one treats animals speaks volumes about the individual in question. You should care about the kitten cause anybody that would do something that viscious to an innocent and defenseless little animal is one majorly sick b$st$rd. If he did that to my cat or my dog in front of my kid, we wouldn't have to worry about him doing it to anything else.

This is the kind of whack job who kills for the thrill and needs to be put away before he graduates from kittens to four year olds.

I concur with a capitol C.

Animals deserve humane treatment

No they don't. Animals don't deserve a thing...However, we as humans should define ourselves as respectful of other creatures...(to a reasonable extent).

But to say animals "Deserve" somthing is ridiculous...

We should rise above savegery...no doubt...But I don't owe gods other creatures anything (despite the fact I love and care for them of my own volition)
