[Closed] Look what some sick b*stard did to my mother in laws cat

Your moral compass is ****ed, not something I'd be keen to show in a public forum, but each to his own. Then again, with a username like that I guess it's second nature

You can't really go as far as calling them "men" to be honest, they forgo that right when making the choice to injure a harmless animal for fun.

Don't get me wrong, if it was my own cat, I would be enraged. But I struggle to get so wound up over clips I see on the internet. perhaps i've become desensitised.

Really? Talk about melodrama... 🙄

Couldn't give a shit about the cat, but I'd still love to give chav scum in that video a kicking.

So you'd be prepared to break the law and inflict physical harm on a fellow human?

That makes you just as bad as him, if not worse. The fact that you can let vengeance take over and allow you to become Judge Judy and Executioner makes you just as uncivilised as the chav in the video.

for every keyboard warrior, there's a keyboard drama queen.

Without being face to face it's so much easier to be an extrovert.

Am I right in thinking most people dont pay for Kittens?

My dad used to swing me around by my legs in a similar way when I was I kid.
It was great fun!

Can't agree there. Slapping the perpetrator would be against the law in modern parlance but imo (and clearly only my opinion it seems) society self governance with this sort of thing rather than deferring to and clogging up "the system" to sort it out for us is where it's at. Maybe it's a sign I'm getting old but I do yearn for the days (not that I was old enough to appreciate them ) when society (and more specifically the local community) could and would step in to set the moral compass with it's youth and tearaways.

I know what I'd find myself doing if I came across someone inflicting pain on an animal for pleasure. Wild,domestic, mine, someone else's would make no odds.

Glad to see the cat survived.

Yes.

[i] makes you just as uncivilised as the chav in the video[/i]

Sure, ok.

Am I right in thinking most people dont pay for Kittens?

No, they are very easy to come by. All you need to do is post a, 'cat hurt' thread on here and lots of people have kittens immediately.

Maybe my moral compass is screwed too, because I find abuse of animals worse than pretty much anything over abuse of kids. I hope they're found and either jailed or beaten senseless.

Oh yes, in that case your moral compass is definitely screwed. There are far worse atrocities perpetrated on humans, lasting more than 30 seconds.

I think I might know who it is!

(sorry, just saw this on fb and it amused me. I'm glad the cat is okay)

Some of the comments here, unreal. Yes, it may 'only' be a cat and as is pretty well documented on stw cats aren't the most favoured of creatures. But the majority are pets, loved by their owners, maybe part of a household that has kids. For all the ones who've seen fit to spout unpleasantness on here (is it because the cat was ultimately ok, doesn't really 'matter' so much? Or is it simply internet anonymity, write something gratuitously offensive because you can?) what if that happened to a cat belonging to someone you are close to? My friends cat died after being poisoned (a spate of them in the area) and having a pet killed, maimed or abused is actually really distressing for the owners/families involved and all because some cretin(s) fancied a 'laugh'.

For those that think that "it's only a cat, it doesn't matter", yes, there are worse things happening in the world every day but does it really mean that it doesn't matter? For every duck or swan that gets shot with a crossbow, horse that gets cut, every act of gratuitous, wanton cruelty we should simply brush it aside as unimportant? I don't wanna see or read about stuff like this but I shouldn't ignore it either. I find it hard to comprehend why people do stuff like this, hard to comprehend why people appear to condone stuff like this, I also find it hard to comprehend the logic of animal rights nutters who get themselves foaming at the mouth over stuff like this but at least in their own histrionic way they're standing up for decent behaviour. Surely it's just down to respect for other living creatures and each other? Don't go chucking defenceless moggies about and don't go trolling posts about it on web forums. Yeah, I sound like a hippy but I don't give two Fs. Life would be better if we all gave that bit more of a toss for who and what's around us. If any of you lot have got a Fing problem with that I'll see you outside 😉

😯

WOW! Keyboard warrior [u][i]and[/i][/u] drama queen in the same post!

You knows it beeyatch. 🙂

meltdown.

whatever you do guys, don't go to Darfur.

Jonny, I feel compelled to jump to the defense of all the defenseless songbirds, rodents and reptiles that are cruelly treated by cats in the name of fun.

I'm going to form a vigilante group that tracks the nasty little thugs down, swings them round by their tails and locks them in wheelie bins. How does that sound?

Can I at least kick the wheelie bin a bit?

What's that bin ever done to you, DezB? Hmmm? HMMMM??

Erm, nope, like someone trying to highlight the idiocy of some members of STW. 🙄

If you can't work out the difference between an animals natural instincts and a supposedly civilized human being harming animals for few ****ed up giggles and a laugh then there really is no hope for you.

tbh I dont know what all the puss is about! 3 pages of people acting like little pussies - mtfu! I know a lot of you are winding people up on purr-pose but calm down before you have a stroke and stop being so catty! I agree its not fur-nny and we need to paws for thought for the pur little kitty. its quite paw-ssible this might cause other idiots to do copy cat style assaults in there area (which would be cat-astrophic)

Tabby honest, I think sefton's right.

Erm, nope, like someone trying to highlight the idiocy of some members of STW

[s]There's a slight difference between an animal doing what it does, and a supposedly intelligent being inflicting pain for the amusement of others perhaps.[/s]

schrick clearly types quicker than me.

Some of you are as bad as the ****er that did it.

They're a domesticated animal - they have no need to kill for food.
Cats, living in a civilised society, should learn to obey OUR rules, and if they can't, they shouldn't be allowed out unsupervised.

Therefore, it's Flow's mother-in-law's fault.

Me-ouch!

Surely it's just down to respect for other living creatures and each other?

It's this parity between 'other living creatures' and 'each other' which I find difficult.

whatever you do guys, don't go to Darfur.

This is true, apparently they only feed their cats medium grade cat food over there.

Overall we need to be more sensitive an be aware that things we say on here can hurt each others felines.

Flows mum in law is a 42 year old IT teacher........Only in Thanet

Drama Warrior.

...and a meme was born.

I think Keyboard Queen may be more appropriate

That poor little animal has no way whatsoever of protecting itself.

Not to play devils advocate, but cats can be pretty vicious*

*Obviously no excuse for swinging one down the street.

at least you're not alone in the hunt!

Much like garden birds, then.

Comparing the instinctual behaviour of a cat with no capability of rational or moral thought to that of a seemingly grown adult?
Really?
So cats are just inherently evil? Do you really believe that?

BEWARE THE DEVIL CATS!!!!!

The comparison exists only in your fevered imagination. It is a fact that garden birds can't defend themselves against cats. In no way does that suggest a moral equivalence.

Regarding instinct, the point is moot: cats only exist in the numbers they do because they are fed and housed by humans. So the massacre of garden birds is also humans fault.

Massacre of garden birds? It is a natural instinct for cats to hunt, we didn't invent them in a lab you know (don't you?)
It is not natural for us to want to swing them around for fun.
If you cannot see the difference then you really need to have a stern word with yourself or if incapable, get someone else to.

It is not natural for us to want to swing them around for fun.

Ah, so this youth is unnatural?

I mean seriously, have you never done harm to another living thing?
Kicked a cat? Pushed a pelican? Choked a chicken? Tickled a turkey? Poisoned a rat?

It's perfectly natural for us to want to swing them around for fun. Fortunately, most of us have evolved sufficiently to realise that it's not acceptable for all our primal instincts to be acted upon, and that actions have undesirable consequences (such as distress and injury of an animal).

All of this frothing and gnashing about a cat you have never met makes me wonder how rational and moral a lot of you outraged types really are.

How much of this outrage is in fact your instinctive reaction? A reaction that you would have a great deal of trouble suppressing through the use of clear thinking and moral wisdom. Probably about the same trouble that this lad has controlling his behaviour towards the cat or indeed the cat has controlling his behaviour towards mice.

How much control do any of us really have over our instincts and why should we declare others cruel (cats or people) based on our own values.

The fact that alot of you have leapt off the deep end to label this lad a 'chav' when you have no idea of his background and are willing to stereotype based on your own shallow assumptions somewhat belies how enlightened and morally superior you really are.

In your desire to froth with self-righteous indignation you've missed the fundamental point that there's nothing natural about keeping domesticated animals as pets. Domestic cats don't need to hunt. Domestic cats don't need to torture mice. They do so because they feel like it.

I've already pointed out that there's not a moral equivalence with a human torturing a cat. One wonders if you skipped English comprehension classes.

If you did that on purpose, that's tremendous.

I can assure you that I am not frothing. However, I do fail to see how this could be funny. No rationalisation could persuade me otherwise.

Oh, does one?
I do not need to insult you, your comments tell us all we need to know.

Did someone really think that? And then type it out? Seriously?
Well f me sideways.
