ABC News Story

[happylabs]

This is why you do not let your cats be indoor/outdoor cats. There is a video on ABC news that I cannot access from my work computer but the description is: "Texas woman finds her cat decapitated in a neighbor's mailbox".

I just do not understand people these days. Why would someone do this to a helpless innocent creature! I am so angry. :mad:

The pain that poor woman must be feeling from this loss. Hopefully she will not have another indoor/outdoor kitty. Indoors ONLY for me! A leason I had to learn over time losing kitty to the gravel roads as a younger adult. I hope they find the person responsible for this horrible act of cruelty!!! Would be nice if when they do find him they make an example out of him by really punishing him! No slap on the wrist!! Sick to death of people just getting a small fine for stuff like this!

Theres something really wrong in this so called civilized countries of ours.
There just so much meaness and violence bubbling under the surface and every day you hear of people going beserk and killing starngers for no reason.
And being cruel to the Animals , who are our Fellow Creatures of God.
I think theres so much violence that its desensatazing us , and we get a starnge joy out of cruelty.
Sad to say when Depression 2009 hits, its going to be worse.
May Our Lord God bless the Beasts and The Children.:love::love::love:

I won't even express my feelings on the "thing" that did this. :mad:

I don't think there is any more violence than there was say, 30 years ago, or in previous points in history, but we certainly are more informed now that we were then. After all, would this have made any national news then? No, likely only people in her town and ones surrounding it would know. I hope it is not desensitizing us, and I hope they find and prosecute the responsible party. Poor kitty!

Sorry about posting this one. I did go back and view the video. It was just an interview with the owner. Still very upsetting.

I totally agree with this.

I saw this on the 10:00 news as it happened in the suburb next to mine. I felt so sorry for this woman, as well as the man who found the poor thing. People have to start taking animal cruelty more seriously because anyone who would torture an animal wouldn't think twice about abusing a human in some way, especially a vulnerable one such as a battered wife or a child. Makes me sick to my stomach......

Working with the public as my job, at an animal shelter, and news stories like these have honestly made me hate mankind. I know not all people are bad, many many many aren't but I WILL NEVER EVER EVER understand how you can kill an innocent animal, person, whatever, EVER. I will never understand why dogs and cats are abused, some people are just wired wrong I suppose.

It amazes me how some people can live with themselves.

[boomersooner]

Unfortunately, we see and hear about the bad in people more than the good....I truly believe the majority of people are good, kind, and responsible, but there is a small portion of society I believe to be truly evil....and that is the only word that even fits....the devil has definately positioned himself inside their souls....
