Its a sad indictment of the way this country has gone when you hear cases such as this.

 

[JoshW1992]

Certainly is.

yeah saw this last month - around here the RSPCA are investigating an incident in Nottingham where a cat was shot with an airgun in the forehead and had one of its eyes removed with a screwdriver

 

[JoshW1992]

Oh god, thats disgusting! I love cats and if I ever found anyone guilty of something like that.......there would be trouble!

 

[thefab444]

If you tried that with one of our cats you'd probably be the one with a missing eyeball! Seriously though, that is pretty sickening.

The folk responsible should be burnt and tied to a railway line and in the unlikely event they survive can appreciate what it's like. It should also be broadcast on television to serve as a warning to "the rest".

 

[JoshW1992]

Damn right!

THEY SHOULD ROT IN PRISON FOR THAT SICK MINDED ATTACK ON THAT DOG, SHOULD BE RUN OVER BY A TRAIN THEMSELVES.

Arggh, people who abuse dogs/cats should be abused themselves, there probably chavs aswell, should get a HST at 125 and give them a good breather :roll:.

Have you lot all been reading the Daily Mail while I've been away? :?

Incidents like these are obviously not very nice, but they're hardly an every day occurrence.

scum who hurt animals ,are in my book the lowest form of life.

 

[JoshW1992]

Yeah, animals dont harm people in ways that people harm animals... so why do they do it?

Because some people are just sick :mad: :? :neutral: :cry:

 

[hairyhandedfool]

If it happened in American they would be fined, inprisoned and banned from owning or housing animals for life. Over here, slap on the wrist....sick

 

[Tom B]

Who said they had been given a "slap on the wrist"? They've been arrested, not convicted there is a difference. Unlike what the Daily Wail etc would have you believe just because someone's been arrested for a nasty crime doesn't mean that they are guilty and should be locked away forever.

I do think that whoever did it was a pretty horrible person - but those who advocate tying them to the line and setting fire to them are just as bad themselves!

I know what you're saying, but I was out with the Dog Warden yesterday on Work Experience. We got called to the aftermath of a dog fight - no human intervention involved, one dog just went for the other - and some of the injuries were pretty horrific; the dog that was attacked could loose its leg, an 11 year old had his hand mashed up.

Thankfully, not an everyday ocurance.
