...Your thread was upsetting, but that is the harsh reality of life. Most of the humans out there are lowlife scum, and then there are those who deliberately hurt the innocent (animals, children, the mentally impaired, etc). It is a disgusting way to exist, and I think its only going to get worse with parents being too lazy or too afraid to properly discipline their children. Our future innocents will pray victim to this lackadaisical attitude towards education. All we can do is teach our own children, and those around us, to properly respect all animals, people and property. If many years of effort saves one kitten, puppy or child from cruelty then it's worth it.
