I was in tears. I would like to strap a firework to them and let it go off but I should not lower myself to their level of inhumanity and I would be prosecuted. I have seen a number of crime programmes that have looked at the behaviour of serial criminals (and others) who have abused animals in their childhood and I am of the opinion rightly or wrongly that some who abuse animals are capable of more serious crimes in later years.
What drives these individuals to harm and what can be done? Is it the upbringing, do they have some mental issues, are they born evil? Have 'they' been desensitized through TV, Video games etc etc. Any thoughts here ?
 

When I was a child in the late 60s I remember going to School the morning after Guy Fawkes Night and finding a small terrier
type dog obviously in it's death throes with blood coming out of every orifice because some piece of :poop: had pushed
a fire cracker inside this poor dog's rectum and lit said fire cracker....I could not believe what had been done to this animal
I found the Teacher on yard duty who realised the poor animal had thankfully succumbed and she covered the dog
The Police were called and the poor animal taken away and assembly that morning was very sad
A Primary School has a very good 'grapevine' and it did not take long for word to get around
 

Agree. when we were in the Agrodome in New Zealand, they had a bunch of sheep on display. There was an idiot pulling on a sheep's ears. we went over to him and asked how would he like it if we pulled on his ears.

They may very well have been born evil.

I've seen some folks like that....very young.....and older

Not good people
They have the capability to talk about offing someone, and in the same sentence, getting their dry cleaning done

The young ones just torture lesser beings

It's tempting to do the eye for an eye thing
But, the right thing is to put them away

I havenā€™t read any of the other replies. But my response to the question posed by the OP is the same now as itā€™s been foe the past 30+ years.....do the same to the a user as he/she has done to the poor animals. I feel the same punishment should be meted out to pedophiles and those who abuse children.

Understand Iā€™m not normally ā€œan eye for an eyeā€ type person, but I will happily make an exception for these particular lowlife folk. šŸ¤¬

If I had the people I had when I was younger, they'd be in the hospital.

I agree, I would do exactly to the abusive human what they did to the animal.....nothing less. IMO, that would curb such abuse cases against animals....eye for an eye.

Just bear in mind who banned fox hunting in Germany, for a moment, and I have to bear in mind a young girl who would never have been cruel to any animal, who nonetheless said all the dogs in the world should be put on an island and then bombed, (hard to believe from such an innocent, who has grown into a wonderful, caring person, working in a profession caring for others) :unsure:.

Deliberate cruelty is of course,beyond the pale, but as Gandhi pointed out, "an eye for an eye leads to the whole world becoming blind".

Well, not sure what your point really is, I don't have to bear in mind anything about fox hunting in Germany. Also, I don't care about this girl who wants to put all the dogs in the world on an island and bomb them. If this person exists, she was a lunatic at her young age and the only good thing is she allegedly grew out of it. She is caring for people, but what does she still feel about killing all dogs? :unsure: I stand by my opinion, those who abuse defenseless animals should have exactly the same thing done to them. That would discourage animal abuse and torture, no doubt about it.
