Provincial police are searching for two people who threw kittens from a moving truck, killing four of them and seriously injuring a fifth. A man who saw something tossed out of a pickup truck near here yesterday morning alerted police, said Const. Krista Schaus.

What the

poor little guys

[G4ME]

it would be quite a feat to toss the kitten i know.

[dcmacdaddy]

Stupid f***ers.

I've only got a small compact car. But I'm thinking somebody on here has
a whoop-ass pickup truck. I say we find who did this, put them in the back of
the truck and head out on the Beltway here in DC. Traffic in the *slow* lane goes
70 MPH. We could toss these idiots out of the back of the truck into the fast-passing
lane. They would be run over a dozen times before traffic could come to a
stop. Sounds like a fitting punishment to me.

[lil'babykitten]

sick bastards.

[OptimusG4]

Poor kittens I have an 8 week old and a 1yr old 'kitten' and I could never do something like that...they bring too much joy and comfort in my life.

[mdc]

that's terrible. these guys and the guy from the other post who cable tied the cat to the fence need to get a beat down.

[MilkmanDan]

In other news babies die when thrown from fast moving cars. Story at 10.

It's God's will that people should throw kittens out of a moving pickup.

[cold_reality]

If ppl don't want the animals why not take em to a shelter? It is that fuc*in hard?

In dutch we say: "geen erger leed dan dierenleed"... The worst suffer is to see an animal suffer (because of humans)... and it's true

they charge you to take animals to the humane society here, but its not too tough to give away kittens for free. people suck, what can you do

your pathetic attempt to start a religious war doesn't seem to be working

This story is kind of horrible, however it's interesting how it is drawing such a strong reaction from everyone including me, when people do far worse things to each other everyday

Meh. I've seen fishermen throw an unwanted litter of kittens in a plastic bag with some rocks and toss them off the boat.

What are you gonna do? Can't feed them, or don't want to. They'll just be a major nuisance, or get eaten.

Still, throwing them off a truck is a terribly inhumane way to go about it, especially nowadays where there's plenty of humane shelters available. The bottom line is, there are always idiots in this world.

Still...it's a kitten. It's just because they're cute that everyone gets sad. There's no one in the news reporting over the pollution in the Arctic that often seriously shortens the life span of the magnificent polar bear, and can lead to painful deaths – surely the world has enough of those, right?? Nawww, obviously no one cares about that – the environmentally-ignorant Dubya was reelected, after all! And no one got sad (or sad ENOUGH) in Rwanda in '94, or about the Sudan at the moment...after all, black people aren't cute and furry, are they!

Okay, I'll stop now.

It's because those ass canyons feel threatened by the kittens. most immature rednecks and the like are really that way. they are the ones at age 40 still have temper tantrums, and break things. People like that should be used as human lab rats to see if the nerve gas is deadly enough.


There IS NO EXCUSE, and those who defend the killing of small animals are to be ignored.

You are just as bad as they are.

Animal cruelty is evil and the people involved should be punished with jail time and huge fines.

Most serial killers started out with animal cruelty. And act against a defenseless animal should be regarded as a future warning.

I burned a dead mouse once.
OMG! I'm going to turn into a murderer! OMFG! Is the moon full?

Poor kitties.
Coulda just given em to me. I already have 3, so what's a couple more?

Child abuse is worse than animal abuse.

Anyone remember that story from way back, round 2003 I think, where a man abused a dog and a kid. He got 3 years for the dog, 2 years for the kid.
That was ****ed up right there.

[torsoboy]

blah blah blah. everytime something like this gets posted here it gets the exact same reaction and comments. the poster might as well post the story, then post a link to another thread that is exactly the same, and save people the time of re-writting their "an animal got killed, so i want to kill somebody" comments.

Sort of. Here for instance there was a case of parents abusing their children for years. The judge gave them 9 months. Thankfully the court of appeals overturned it and gave them 9 and 5 years.

On the other hand the abused is of nearly no consequence simply a matter of opportunity. Someone who kills an animal in some manners could easily do the same to a child given the opportunity.

[Captain Obvious]

Pff, who cares. There are too many cats and dogs in this world as it is.

If you really care about animals have their genitals lopped off so they won't reproduce and further the problems with strays. I can't believe this is a news story or that it was the one thing you read today that sparked your interest.

Grab some perspective for godsake.

I don't know.. people with hearts??

Yes, then we just wait for all the animals without homes right now to die off.

Nope. It's Bush's fault. This is just another serious failure of the Bush Adminstration.

I know. Unfortunately, you can't just beat people who do that. Let the public handle this stuff before the law steps in.

Why do you type out ignorant statements like this. Then after all of that, actually hit reply?

The same could be said with your sig.

Not much thought put into either. Just a lot of knee-jerking hatefulness.

Million of children are killed every year in the US and barely anyone grieves or says a word.

The people who are close to them do. Its a nice thought but I wouldn't expect an entire naion to grieve for the death of a child.

You can't say child abuse is worse than animal abuse.

[powerbook867]

some humans are just disgusting creatures. Anyone that hurts a helpless animal should be put through the same torture as the animal as a "learning experience". Not only would it teach them the errors of their way, but also be an example to others.

Respect for life in this country is lacking in many instances where common sense should be the norm.

These f*&^%^@ers will have a front row seat in hell. Their day will come.

You can't imagine how sad your view-point is. What does harming them do really? It won't help them. Might make you feel good. Since animal abuse is rarely premeditated I'd say it would have no affect of others.

Respect for life? Thats a pretty hard line to follow. Take livestock. Sure eating them is more or less a necessity so you can justify that right there. But how do you justify hundreds of them dying due to horrid conditions? How is throwing a kitten out of a truck any worse?

Perhaps when people like you decide to disregard their humanity, their life, their hell will come...

Are you kidding? They are the ones killing them. I do expect an entire nation to grieve over the death of a million children.

Child abuse is worse than animal abuse. I said it, and I believe it.

[Ghoser777]

That's what I never got about the justice system - what the heck is justice? A lot of people think it means sticking it to people who have wronged them aka retribution/punishment. We have to even the score by any means necessary.

Now, I don't mind punishment, as long as the intent is to deter other people from commiting the crime or to influence the criminal from never doing said offense again. But I don't think that's why people want to punish - they want an eye for an eye (or whatever they think is equivlant of an eye).

It's sort of sad to see people wasting away in prison who wouldn't pose a threat to society at all, but they screwed up when they were young. (Not that I have anything wrong with locking away the idiots who can't get it right after a couple chances).

What would really be the benefit of putting these people in prison? Now they won't be able to provide or be apart of their families, they are a financial burden on society, etc. A huge fine makes sense to me. If we're locking them up so they won't do it again (because we have very strong reason to believe they will aka a record), then fine. But I doubt that's what people are calling for.

Uh oh, I feel like I'm going to be scewered by someone...

Well the mouse was dead - dead animals are burnt quite often...

But my gf and I could have taken the kittens - we already have 4 cats in the house, so a bunch of wee kittens would just be lovely...

But throwing them out of a car is just sick! Fecking bastards, they should be jailed and fined heavily - of all of my heart I really hate people (if they can be called that, they are more like animals) who hurts defenseless animals

I hope that the fifth one is going to survive and find a nice home with lots of love...

Why? Do you grieve everytime a child dies? Every time an old man passes away? How can you value a child's life more than them? There is no need to pretend to feel that pain. You don't need to mourn for them. Mourn for the adults if you must mourn. You'd think a christian would grasp that better than anyone.

Seeing as you're a bible-minded fellow: the bible says all sins are equal (one exception but I won't go into that).

Their families are the ones murdering them. Someone should mourn for them. I do. I value all human life. It is all sacred. Anytime someone is murdered it is an truly evil act. But by far more children are murdered than adults.

I am not "pretending" to feel their pain. I feel it. Deep down. And the worst part is that it is preventable.

About 20,000 US citizens are murdered each year. Over 1,000,000 children are killed in the US each year. Why don't more people grieve over these numbers?

I grasp that sin is sin, and that the worst sin in unforgiven sin.
