disgusting, missed the s out

[madboutcats]

sick sick b******s, makes my blood boil, poor defenceless little creature.

[slark]

nothing surprises me anymore with some of the scum i see on the streets. let us hope that they get a nice hefty fine or share a cell block with some alf members

[wildwood]

Unfortunately these type airheads are a by-product of our philanthropic Society.
To discourage this type of behaviour it is necessary to enable the odd police sergeant to have a wee 'talk' with these idiots. Can you imagine the outcry?

[tiggerblue10]

This is why I never let my cats out the front door. I have never seen them go out the front from the back garden either as they never venture far from my garden.

I wonder how many other poor little creatures have suffered at the hands of these subhumans that have gone unnoticed.

[bensmum]

I can't say what I'd like to do to them but I think the punishment should fit the crime! Makes you wonder what these low lifes will grow up to become.

[gelda]

I also read in the paper yesterday about some youths who tied a dog to a railway line set fire to it and waited for a train to come to finish the job! words fail me! I' m not a violent person but I know what I would do to this scum. The punishment should fit the crime but they'll probably get a slap on the wrist and made to work with animals for a week

[juliacornwal]

As far as I'm concerned anyone who hurts animals or little children forgoes the right to live. We are becoming a cruel, monstrous society because we haven't got in place the necessary methods of retaliation.

Ergo: Thompson and Venebles tortured and murdered the beautiful Jamie Bulger and as 'punishment' for their crimes they got a few years in a secure unit - which I doubt is much worse than boarding school - a full education and qualifications - which they wouldn't have got if they'd stayed in mainstream school, new identities and lots of money with which to begin their nice new lives. Wow, some punishment, eh?

And the do-gooders assure us that this sort of treatment of offenders will ultimately bring about a cessation of bad and cruel behaviour?

'scuse me, is this planet Zog?

[pusspuss]

agree with julia, people wonder why i stay outside with my cat (to make sure no scum can harm her)

[madboutcats]

any sentence on animal cruelty is pitiful, and as for being fined or banned from keeping animals...........its not enough, they are taking a life and should be treated like murderers, and even them they get out on good behaviour. i worry about my two mogs when they're out, i do know they dont wander far but its still a worry.

[yogasun]

Can't even bear to open link as the title is enough for me.
What sort of a society do we live in? I find it so distressing and depressing.

[alfieblue]

I apologise, but I can't look at it.

I know it will upset me deeply - why do these people do such things? Have they no respect for life - whether it be animal, child, man, woman etc, etc etc - the list goes on and on.

How can these so called members of the 'human' race be so cruel and show no remorse?? They are not human nor are they humane.

I despair.

I find it very upsetting :o(

[tiggerblue10]

They are subhuman Alfie. They have been brought up by subhumans.

[wildwood]

This is the biggest problem tiggerbue... Society's dregs are now bringing up a new generation who don't know any better. No respect for themselves, others or animals. Due to their nature of being financially rewarded for polluting society with more yobbos, it will become a snowballing situation unless we choose political reps who actually do something about it rather than spout a lot of cheap talk.

[jules77]

curiosity got the better of me, and I wish I hadnt read it..........they should set them on fire too. There isnt enough of a deterrant for these yobs nowadays, they have a warning and get off scot free, makes me wonder if the parents know, or even care what they get up to.
