I'd like to think it's because they may have found the collar somewhere and are simply returning it; otherwise this sort of depraved gloating is actually just as sick as the killing.

I liked The Office, but I'm pretty indifferent to the man; however, Ricky Gervais is spot on when he says that if you enjoy seeing an animal in pain, you're a cvnt. Not sure what it says about me - maybe that I hate people - but I'm more affected these days by animal cruelty than human cruelty.

I know you are joking.

Say you are joking.

Cruelty require moral capacity, which requires language. As such the actions of animals aren't cruel, because they lack the ability to manifest moral arguments or understand ethics.

To determine an actual cruel, you must first establish as basis of understanding the concept of cruelty and knowingly engaged in an act that was cruel and unreasonable.

As reasonable is determined as being 'for a reasonable person' it would follow that its not unreasonable for a cat to engage in such activities, because its normal for all cats to do this.

So even if cats could understand morals and express ethical arguments, its actions are not really cruel, because they are not unusual among cats. They only appear cruel to humans (who arguably would be hypocritical to the point of denial if they eat meat - given the casual cruelty, and ethical dilemmas, inherent in raising meat for food).

Quiet day at work today. I'm bored.

There are some vile people living in this world.

I've seen stories of live kittens being fed to a constricting snake, puppies put in a hot gas oven and ponies slashed with stanley knives.

Why?

WTF motivates these sickos to do this sort of stuff?

Most of you know I rescue ex racing greyhounds and some of the stories I've heard about their treatment by trainers and owners sicken me.

I'd love to see some retribution for the perpetrators of this cruelty.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. I cant see someone doing this kind of thing to the level they are and stopping there.

Agree... If you look through history most serial killers and rapists started out by torturing animals first. I think some people view this as not being overly important. I would say it's extremely important catching this person before this escalates toward something more sinister..

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!
