[Mucho OT] A man who deserves to be tortured painfully.

[Furn_Darkside]

I'm with Numion and Furn. Countless animals are put to sleep in animal shelters every day.

Salutations,

I just want to be clear on something. I am in now way shrugging my shoulders over how this poor animal was treated. I think it was horrible and the man should be prosecute to the fullest extent of the existing laws.

However- I refuse to allow my disgust for the person to stomp on my common sense. It was a cat involved, not a person.

I think if people are really outraged about this (and I do have my doubts), then you should do something about it. Go volunteer at the local animal shelter or atleast send them a check with a little money. Write your political leaders and ask for strict laws against animal cruelty.

FD, I work for a humane society. When I saw this topic headline, I thought it was about a local case, in which a dog was doused with gasoline and set afire. This kind of thing is far too common.

And for the person saying that adolescents grow out of cruelty: it does sometimes happen, but there's also a lot of research showing a link between cruelty to animals in adolescents and later violence against human beings. Check out the Humane Society of the United States' First Strike Campaign for more details about this link and programs folks are putting into place to prevent it.

Finally, putting an animal to sleep in a shelter does not compare to roasting an animal to death on a grill. Euthanasia, done properly, is painless and instantaneous. When you have millions more animals born in a country every year than you have homes for, euthanasia is the best option out of a set of terrible options.

You and several other people on this thread are truly PATHETIC.

This was a person who in a sadistic and horribly painful manner tortured an animal to death SLOWLY for amusement.

If this was done to a person it would be 1st degree murder and the man would end up on death row for his actions.

So why is it different that he targetted a small defenseless kitten?

For your sake I hope there is no God. Cause one day he may get bored and stick a giant magnifying glass over your head and slowly cook all you pathetic's to death. Of course we would not blame God for his actions. He is of course at least as far above you as you are above a kitten.

Now that I am completely disgusted by so many of my fellow posters I am going to head to the bathroom and vomit.

Big ,

It was only a cat, it is sadistic but don´t enven compare with torturing/killing a human, and people are tortured/kiled in the world every day.

Since it may not be clear from my previous posts, I'll add that I, too, think that this cruelty pales in comparison to the countless cruelties happening everywhere and routinely getting ignored. Besides, if those who commit animal cruelty were tortured and put to death, there would be no harsher punishment left for the real criminals.

It is different because I value a human life more then I value the life of an animal or a plant.

I would easily- EASILY- torture this man. I would easily torture anyone I come across torturing an animal OR person. No, please don't cleverly point out the irony. It's justice.

I would slowly insert a thin steel sliver into each finger, all the way to the last knuckle. Then, I'd tell him I'll take them out and leave him alone for three hours if he can form a fist.

I would greatly enjoy spending an entire day coming up with creative and hellish tortures for this man and every one of the twelve Beavis-types who stood around watching. You'll beg to be released to Hell's graces when I'm one-third done, you monsters. I'll find you.

 

[Furn_Darkside]

I'll find you.

Hahahaha.

You are funny.

Then you sir are a sad sad person.

The object of the torture is completely irrelevant. The only relevant fact to me is that sadistic torture to the near point of death and in fact with the intention of death was inflicted for cheap amusement.

I don't care if it was a kitten, a dog, a bird, or a person. The punishment should be based upon the crime and the intent behind the crime. The punishment should NEVER be based upon who or what the victim was.

It was logic like yours that allowed the Nazis to kill the mentally retarded back in the 1930's. Since in their eyes they were not really people.

It is different because I value a human life more then I value the life of an animal or a plant.

There's hundreds of millions of people starving in poor, desert nations, being slowly cooked to death by the sun. Again, why no outrage over their fate? Why no outrage over my above post about the girl who kidnapped yesterday and, most likely, murdered?

Doc--I don't think anyone will argue the fact that it was a cruel, vicious, sadistic thing that was done to that cat. What people are pointing out is that

A.) Many who have posted to this thread are advocating cruel, vicious, sadistic torture as a response...which IMO makes no sense. Sure, put the guy in jail, but I doubt that you or anyone else would want to be the torturer. If you do, well...that's another issue entirely.

B.) It is ironic that this story produces such uproar because it happened to a "poor widdow kitten," when HUMAN BEINGS routinely torture, maim, and murder other HUMAN BEINGS every day.

Finally, don't bring God into this. He's the one who sent the big Flood to kill everyone in the world but Noah, remember? He may be a merciful God, but that Yahweh can be a mean mother when he gets His dander up.

Then you become the monster.

The only fitting punishment is a quick one. You don't want to make him suffer for his crimes. That is the wrong line of thought. The proper line of thought is use a punishment that will either deter or remove the chance of the crime being commited ever again by this person why reinforcing in the minds of others that this crime should never be commited again.
