Two little pricks hang a kitten with a PS2 controller. Sheriff blames GTA, naturally

I still say force those kids into counseling. It's a disturbing start. It could be nothing, or it could be the start of further deviant behavior. It's not a matter of cute animal or being a vegetarian or any dumb shit like that. These kids found something smaller and weaker than them (not a bear of an alligator) and then KILLED IT. The question is....for what reason? It was a kitten.

It's animal cruelty and easily a start of future violence. But you're all right, it means nothing....it wasn't something you personally care about. Next time maybe it's some little bastard in your neighborhood who kills your pet.

I guess I shouldn't have expected an argument beyond "Haha, I disagreed with you in another thread too" from someone as logically bereft as yourself.

Do you have any actual point to make, or are you able to admit that your original statement was misleading?
 
Absolutely disgusting. I don't even care that they blame video games or not, it sickens me when I read about incredibly stupid and selfish children committing violence against family pets.

Those two deserve it. Eye for an eye, bitches.

Agreed. At least one good thing came of this thread though, I got to see who a couple of those idiots/assholes were and added them to my ignore list so that I never have to read their BS again.

Honestly, anyone who thinks its "No big deal" to kill a cat or any other living creature for no good reason needs to have their head re-adjusted. How do you wake up every morning knowing you have no morals? I'd expect if you don't know that killing something is a big deal, you have NO idea what the difference is between right and wrong.

These two kids need serious help now, as well as their parents. I can only hope the state/involved parties get them the help they need before they do something far worse in the future.

I vote all acts of extreme stupidity are to be met with a Gator or a Bear. I made them proper nouns as I feel we will name the bear, Gator, and the gator Bear. We could make it a PPV event, "Deathmatch: Man Vs. Animals With Huge Pointy Fangs."
 
[quote name='DarkSageRK']I could understand why this would be a big deal if they hung a human, but it's a fucking cat.

Come on now.[/quote]

If you don't think it's a big deal then by all means go to your neighbor and hang their kittens, or find a stray, then tell your family members or your girlfriend you did it. I'm sure the response you get will be enlightening.

Those were two little kids man. You REALLY think it is normal for little kids (or anyone) to do that?

See above.

Now, that being said, I don't advocate violence in response to animal cruelty regardless if it was Michael Vick or these kids, but but to think it isn't a big deal?
 
[quote name='horrido']They are six, and seven years old. Give them a break, you witch hunters.[/QUOTE]

They should still know better about the value of life... all this talk from certain people about "they are just kittens"... sound like the people who used the same argument to defend that piece of crap Michael Vick (Im ashamed to from the same hometown as him) despite the details about what happened. Im not advocating a witch hunt against the kids (but the parents who dont give a shit about parenting children during their most important years that allow behavior like this to foster on the other hand... but Im sure THEY will just blame the government and GTA) but to so easily dismiss it shows how ignorant some people can be.
 
People seem to be misunderstanding or we have a lot of furfriends in here.

Human>Kitten.

Its not a matter of "just kittens" its a matter of "I want to beat the shit out of a kid, possibly causing brain damage/further psychological damage/severe irrevocable injury" or "I want to see these kids killed."

It's not easily dismissed. It is a loss of perspective on many of ya'lls part. Sure, its sad they killed a cat, but in the grand scheme of things, its really not all that important. 1 non-human life was lost. Bawwwww. You're lying if you say you've never killed anything. Even the adamant who insist they've never harmed an insect, think of the bacteria! They have lives too!!
 
They should have it on their records permanently and be forced to tell everyone about what they did.

"So honey, when I was young I killed a kitten with PS2 controller cords. Pretty cool huh."

lol @ blaming the parents for not buying wireless controllers.

Oh geez... I dont think ANYONE disagrees with your assessment that HUMAN>KITTEN... In the grand scheme of things the boy in Arizona who shot his father and the other man, thats a much more serious story... My bitching was more in lines with the parents who allow such things to happen in part by not filtering out anything their young impressionable children are exposed to at such a young age (not saying GTA is responsible for this act, it isnt....)... the story is just a small part of what I see as a growing problem with parents... years ago this would be much more outrageous... it is today, but Im not suprised something like this happened... Im afraid of what children will be like 20 years from now... in a world today where we can see an 8 year old shoot and kill 2 men one of which was his father... I worry...
 
I don't think anyone's suggesting that kittens should be valued as much as human life, or that these kids should be locked up for life or any of that shit.

It's depressing that some people here think that killing a kitten isn't a big deal. But it's CAG and full of a bunch of loud mouths just hitting puberty so it's to be expected I guess.

Me. I actually don't think a human life is worth more than any other creatures life. Why should I? We are all living creatures and should be treated the same. Are you trying to tell me that some white trash redneck that beats his wife is worth more than my dog just because he's human? There are other more extreme examples but the point was made already. I'm sure my last post seemed harsh but I'm tired of people dismissing animal cruelty just because "we human, we rulez. Iz just an animal."

Oh, I'm sure I'm messed up because I'm a vegetarian and an atheist. I have no morals or common sense.

Well, to be fair a brain surgeon that saves lives is worth more than a skunk that takes a crap in the woods.

Another example...

If I had to choose between saving someone in my family or my dog, my family wins that everytime. Now that is a tangent to the OP's topic, but there are definitely more times than not that a human life is worth more than an animal. I guess we can all agree it depends on the human (I'm not shedding any tears for bin Laden for example).

Still no excuse for animal cruelty though.
 
Most (if not all) animals do not possess the mental capacity required for conscious suffering at the same level as humans, so killing them is very far from equally tragic. Only a fool would rank the two forms of "life" as equally valuable, they're on different levels.
 
Its not the fact that kittens were murdered by these kids but the act of violence itself that disturbs me. Taking the life of another living being is a sign of psychological problems.

As for GTA its the parents responsibility to monitor what their children view. There's a reason ratings are in place.
 
I did not kill small animals for fun when I was a kid. I suppose I can't convince you all I had a normal childhood, but I didn't kill animals when I was a kid. That would make me a freak.

This has nothing to do with the value of a kitten's life. Even if the children don't develop into serial killers (No way of telling if they do at this point)they have already developed the interest of killing something significantly weaker than them for the fun of it. If no one sees the problem with that, then I guess I don't understand half of the people who posted in this thread.
