Mate this sicko obviously has urges to kill and torture living creatures and i dont think humans are exempt from this..
I think the fact that he uses kittens over fully grown cats shows how much of a little weakling he is and thats probably the reason the same sicko has not tried to drown a person or a stronger animal able of self defence.
I cant believe you think cats or other animals should not be treated as a special case by the law.It should as its linked to deep psychotic urges from these sick people.And a cat has about the same brain function as a 4 year old mate and feels pain.
Why is a cat different than a 3-4 year old child? Probably because we are biased as a species just like you are my friend.He should go down for a a long time just like a peado would.
The problem I have with this is that the focus is on the cats/animals rather than on the individual. The fact that it is a cat/dog etc. is irrelevant.
If the man has mental health problems and is a danger to society then he needs to be detained or sectioned. The fact that it is a mouse/cat/dog/human therefore becomes irrelevant. But then it becomes the question of, at what point can we decide whether this is the case?
I thought the original point to debate was the fact that a pet snake has eaten a pet cat. This is the point where I think the law has no remit.
