Animal Cruelty

[Vixie]

some people like it, normal people don't.. whats your option!?
below is a story i found about some scumbag that abused his cat for fun and filmed it aswell!! its sick!

On Sunday, February 15th, 2009 Kenny Glenn posted two videos, both abusing a cat named Dusty. He posted these videos on YouTube under the account glennspam1, which has now been suspended. Various mirrors have been uploaded, each being removed by Youtube. It shows Kenny (under the pseudonym Timmy) and his brother abusing their cat. A number of internet communities managed to identify the perpetrator.

I'm afraid I can't do anything but lock this thread unless you stimulate some discussion.

[Vixie]

so you dont care about the cruetly of an animal then..

[Chu]

No, it's not that. I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do as a mod.

In fact I think I'm being rather generous to ask you to add discussion to your thread, rather than simply locking it.

i'll add a diccustion to it.. i can't spell at all.. sorry i snapped at you i've been all ill and moody lately

Animal cruelty is just that. Cruel T_T
And that glennspam1 guy is just... ugh.
Also, does smacking mosquitoes count as animal cruelty? XD

I'm not a big fan of animal cruelty, personally. And I don't know many people who are, xD
Its a very real, and very sad thing.

But you have to be careful for fake-stories, like the kitten in the jar situations. Where it was just a hoax people reacted to and signed petitions for, which makes animal abuse seem a bit more of a joke. Its a pity.

What do you think of dogs kept on chains all day? I personally don't like it. Its better than keeping the canine in a crate, but it still creates anger in the dog.

Wow.... I haven't watched the videos but I really don't want to. The situation is complicated but I hope he gets what he deserves in the end.

I have 3 cats and I'm a vegetarain. I don't expect the world to be completely pro-animal rights but I don't think there's anything wrong with expecting a little compassion and humane treatment.

I hate animal cruelty, I cant stand to see it happen, especially when its like on tv.

Like there was this program of how various cultures go about with dogs. Like in China they eat them, but there was this thing: in Congo they have dogs as pets and they treat them like royalty and love them to death.
BUT the strange part is, they think that stray dogs are from the devil, so whenever a stray dog comes near they throw stones at him with like 100 people all together killing it. And they showed that on tv. I got so angry i wanted to smack the tv, it is so hard to watch such a vulnerable creature that means no hard at all get killed in a very painfull way, it is sooow frustrating! I changed channels but I was boiling inside, I was like "Ill go to congo and stone those bastards to death"
I just dont understand how stupid they are, yeah ok its their belief but duh.
I mean they have dogs as pets and love them. So how could you kill the same creature as the ones you love merely cuz it has no master? Seriously how can you think its from the devil?
How can they do that? What if they were to die and their dog would become masterless? Would they kill it too? bah

I have adopted a stray cat from this association that saves strays, he was all beaten up and they even probably tried to hang him according to the scars in his neck. he was probably a stray and some kids or something found him and had their evil fun with him. He is sooow traumatized. They found him balancing on a thread of life, in the bushes, someone who walked his dog found the cat, and they took him to the vet. If not the dog had barked they would have thought the cat was dead since it looked so terrible, they told me. But the dog barked and my cat responded to it so they knew he was still alive.

I have him over a year now but he is still afraid, sitting in the same spot all day, motionless and he ducks when i wanna pet him expecting me to hit him. So sad. But he does feel safe here though, at least, he was worser when we just got him. So I am happy I can give him at least a good life now.

I cant imagine anyone with a heart being a fan of animal cruelty. I don't think that even people that commit these acts. I think they often do that kind of thing because they want to feel empowered and special which they aren't.

I remember hearing about those kids posting the video on YouTube. I want to hunt those kids down and smack them. There is NO REASON to beat up and animal. I heard this one story of this guy beating and eventually killed a couple of cats and a dog. He said he did this so he could hear the animals cry.

Then... there was the soldier who threw a puppy off a cliff.

And... a south american man who made a starving dog a part of his "art exhibit".

[Veriantor]

I think that's gross using a body animal or human as art.
