It makes me shiver to think that there are so many SICK people out there, what has the world come to?

sending many healing vibes for these sweet babies and "be safe" vibes for the missing kitties.

I wonder sometimes, in these extreme cases, whether it mightn't be kinder to euthanize the animal. So much pain he'll have to suffer, and even then he mightn't live...

I wish this hadn't happened. It makes me want to go back in time and keep it from happening, keep the cat safe. But I can't.

I hope at least they can keep him from hurting too much.

The things I would like to say about this would probably get me kicked off of this board. They would be full of cuss words. They say do unto others as you would have them do to you. so lets take these two girls, lock them in a cage, and set them on fire!!!!!

I think someone else on TCS said this before, but there has to be a special place in h#ll for people who are this depraved.

Our local news tonight: at least, they caught the guy who did this (see above). I hope the punishment is severe .
(warning: there's a picture of the poor guy at the top) http://www.1010wins.com/pages/710756...ntentId=713268

They showed the guy's family on TV, saying what a good kid he is, etc!

People use the words "humane" and "inhuman" but in my experience, it is it is our species who inflict so much pain just for fun on other species.

It is so much hypocrisy to set our species at the top and then use phrases like "he is less than human" "he was like an animal". Would that we would be so lucky.

As for those girls who set the cat on fire- can you ever imagine even witnessing that and not doing anything? They are very sick people.

Worst of all, the article said that some of the Sonoma County residents actually complained about all the press for the kitties because it was more than what was given to a 16 year old boy who was slain. Can you even imagine comparing two evils and complaining because one got more press? What is the matter with these folks!!

Yeah, if they want more press for the real stories, they need to get rid of the frivolous stuff--Society pages, celebrity scandals...

It makes me LITERALLY sick to my stomach to read these stories. I read about poor Adam last week and just wanted to punch the computer. Who are these people? I was so angry when I read the story I wished these girls could have the same thing done to them... can you imagine the poor kitty screaming??? Horrible horrible horrible.

I also read about a cat that was wrapped in a towel, set on fire, and thrown in a window. I don't remember if it was found alive. Then around here a couple weeks ago some young boys stuffed a puppy in a mailbox and tied it shut. Luckily he is OK.

I just don't understand why people want to hurt these adorable, helpless, loving and lovable creatures??? It makes me unbearably sad. That is just sick, and those people are sick. Maybe someday we will have tougher laws on animal cruelty.

WHY,,,, what the heck possessess these teenagers to do this.. Do they hate that much, that they have to hurt an innocent kitten or animal.. I don't get it..

They may not think of the animal as something with feelings--maybe they think of it as little more than an ant to step on if they so choose.

I think--and I know this is going to sound pessimistic--that there's evil in every person. Everyone has selfish impulses, thoughts that, if you acted on them, would hurt others. Everyone does things that are wrong, that hurt people and animals.

But in every person, there's an idea of the Ideal Me... the person you could be, if you could do what you knew was right. In every person, there's a conscience--something that tells you that there's right and wrong.

Those two forces battle each other within the best and worst of us. It really surprises me, sometimes, that there are not more evil people in the world; because if I--with my instinctive desire to protect things weaker than me--sometimes do things that are wrong, how much worse would I be if I had not taught myself, as a child, that I had to fight to follow what I knew was right?

If I had, as a child, given up on the possibility that the Ideal Me in my mind could ever be realized... if I hadn't become a Christian, attracted most by the promise that God could help me, one day, to become that person... if I hadn't been taught, by a tiny tiger kitten, how animals think and feel just like humans... Well, I could be evil, too.

A lot of people seem to think about it the other way around: Why is there so much evil in the world? To me, it's more like, "Why is there still so much good?"

When I see these sweet, innocent babies I only want to give them love and happiness. People who torture animals should get a mandatory and lengthy prison sentence. I will see the day when violent crimes against companion animals result in incarceration for the offenders. I don't know how long that will be but I wish it was sooner rather than later.
