A callous act

Fido McNasty · 26 Mar 2014 at 12:54

Not a fan of this kind of news at all, but as the world turns, I wonder sometimes just how important to some blatant misfits it must be to be seen as clearly hating and disturbed- to the point of contributing to an ailing animals pain and then death.

Someone who doesn't mind who he or she offends at any cost.

I find myself unable to NOT read articles like this, even when I know how badly I'm going to feel afterwards.

There are never words capable of describing what should be done to people like those.

So this guy didn't hit the cat.
Everyone else had stopped and gathered around watching it die.
He picked it up and threw it to the side of the road to die, and drove on.

Hmmm.

There are far far far worse things people do to animals

I will actually refrain from saying, as the more people learn about it, the more these people do it :mad:

"He just swore at me and sarcastically said if I liked the cat so much, why didn't I give it a stroke?"

I'm sorry but that is actually pretty funny.

Someone should hit him with a car, attach a rope from his leg to the back of a car speed off and start doing donuts with him still attached and then release the rope so he going flying so he knows what it feels like to be flung after getting hit by a car

Strange that my post was deleted. It's acceptable to read about slinging a cat across a road but not to suggest the same should be done to the person themselves?

Careful, you'll get your post deleted for suggesting an eye for an eye.

Mistreating animals is a well known precursor to mistreating humans. I remember reading an FBI article on how serial killers often start off killing animals.

An anagram of the title is A Callus Taco. Coincidence? I think not!

On a side note, what a disgusting thing to do to an innocent animal.

Well yes and no. The way you’ve worded that post you make it sound so cut and shut when it isn’t. This man got angry at the thought of having to wait in traffic so flung the cat by its tail and it died minutes later. The man has a problem and harming an injured animal in any way like this is a sign of other issues. Certainly it could be said that they need professional help because it could (or already has) lead to harm to actual people.

I do find some people's reactions to these sort of stories rather strange. A animal has been hurt, let's teach them hurting animals is wrong by torturing them?

Destination · 26 Mar 2014 at 13:33

What should someone have done in this situation?
Watched the cat for the two minutes until it died, then threw it to the side of the road?

The cat was clearly going to do from its headwound injury. I just ponder what the best action to do, when the situation is hopeless, I guess you do just stroke the poor thing until it dies.

You say that as if it's an acceptable thing to do :confused:

If he had carefully picked it up and PLACED it on the grass verge you'd have an argument however how you have worded it makes you sound almost as callous, cold and un-evolved as the scumbag that did this :mad:

Sounds fine to me.

What if this guy was a paedophile as well? The suggestions of pain inflicted that some would come up with would no no bounds.

Yes a DECENT human-being wouldn't inflect further pain and suffering on a sentient creature that is already suffering severely :rolleyes:

Seriously fella you need professional help!! Sociopath springs to mind !!

This is what I thought.
Throwing it aside was clearly not the best thing to do, however the cat did need to be moved.

No, I am asking whta the highway code or road rules suggest you do for an injured animal, or not injured but dying.
Should one move it to safety of the side of the road, or keep it in place until it dies?

Completely differrent from the OP situation, more a hypothetial question that I do not know the answer to.

For rational people it certainly wouldn't be to grab it by the tail and hurl the poor thing, if he'd moved it gently and carefully there wouldn't be an issue.

Adding further unnecessary pain and suffering to an already injured animal due to simply being impatient is incredibly cruel and callous.

Fido McNasty · 26 Mar 2014 at 13:49

I liked the idea of running over the guys head with a car, then grabbing him by his coccyx and hurling him up at the nearest tree. People can hate animals and often fear them, but I can't see an ounce of sense in the open abuse of a dying cat.

Cats and animals at large tend to fall outside the remit of St Johns ambulance training as a whole so I'd say anyone capitalizing on the inaction of those who were in attendance might be missing that possibility.

Sad news to me all in all.
