I apologize if this doesn't belong here, I just need to vent.

Your FIL sounds like a real jerk. I'd tell him in no uncertain terms that if ANYTHING happens to ANY of your animals, you're going to the police and tell them what he threatened to do. You've got a witness so it's your word against his.

I also think Catty1 is right. He sounds like he's not a very happy person.

What a Jerk.
You should tell him what the Penalty is for Animal Cruelty where you are.
Or tell him that that will end any relationship and we will never ever see any Grand Children.
As Bugs Bunny said What a MAROOOOOOOON!!!!

Oh dear, I can understand why you would be so upset. I would be at boiling point There is NO WAY he could shoot your cat, that's like you going and shooting one of your neighbour's kids, it's just NOT done.

He thinks, "A dog is a dog. One gets sick, you shoot em, and you get another one. They cost like, what, ten cents? They're JUST animals. It's not like they're human beings."

GRRRRRAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! Let me at him!!!!! I think I would have been close to hitting him if he said that to me! I hope everything turns out OK and your FIL doesn't attempt anything drastic.

I just can't even stand talking to him. I, generally, avoid being in the same room because of everything he does, says, etc. They don't call him Dick because his name is Richard. (Somebody told me that they have never known anybody able to walk into a room and everyone hates them automatically. He is THAT dislikable of a person.)

I wouldn't want him around any of my children (if we happen to have any) in any case. He's a creepy drunkard.

He is a humongous jerk. Oh, you can bet your booty that I've been itching to see if I could contact somebody about the conditions that he has his animals in, even. I mean, just WRETCHED conditions.
