I just cannot wrap my head around those that thinks this is ok and then laugh about it.
These kids are serial killers in the making unless there's some serious intervention right now.

I can't watch or listen to the video, but the other night the local news carried the story of a man who was arrested for stomping a puppy to death. The next day there was a story about horses that have been abused and removed from their owner.

How can people continue to think that us normals should have anything to do with these crazies?

Thank goodness. There were some videos of other pets in cages who were rescued though. Nothing graphic, just very sad and disturbing that such people actually exist.

If those responsible for that cruel attack on an innocent kitten aren't arrested, tried and convicted of felony animal abuse, and sentenced to juvenile detention for a significant amount of time, it will send a message to others that it's OK to torture animals.

It appears there were already issues with this family and animal abuse and neglect, so the adults should be held accountable as well.

to the fullest extent of the law.

And that's why I included a link to that petition.

The more signatures that petition gets, the more likely those responsible will be held accountable.
