Why We Need Public Beatings...

I saw an article in a paper the other day that ticked me off. Some jerk tossed a 3 month old kitten into on of those kitchen grease dumpster that restaurants use. They look like mini garbage dumpsters but have a smaller opening for the grease that’s covered by a grate. They smell like hell and, I’m sure, are full of a lot of other unhealthy crap other then the grease. No one knows how long the kitten was in there for or why some douche bag would do this.

There are some many other ways to get rid of unwanted pets these days that it is really unnecessary to be this cruel. There’s newspapers, the internet, SPCA (although I am not really fond of them) and various animal services out there that would have taken less effort then it took to life the grate off the grease bin to stuff the kitten in. It would have been more humane to have left it in the middle of a field. But no, this jerk needed to inflict a little pain and suffering before hand. Christ it’s not even something that you would brag about, “Hey Dude! I just messed up a kitten…real bad!”

Now the police have asked the public for help in hopes that they catch this moron.

Here’s the rub…

Let’s say they do get this idiot. Then what? We waste money on prosecuting the cretin, they get a slap on the wrist, pay a fine, and the best part, they‘re prohibited from owning any animals for a year or two. Who is going to monitor this scumbag to make sure they don’t pick up another animal to torture?

How about instead of paying a fine they are forced to work at one of these animal protection agencies? I think a couple of years of picking up their crap would be great for them. Add that to making this bottom feeder endure the same trauma that they inflicted on to the animal and I think we have a lead onto some adequate punishment. I know of several people that would love to toss this waste of flesh into a grease trap for a few days. Hell I’ll take time of work to make sure he stays in there.

BTW the kitten survived and is recuperating. The vet said it is going to survive and there have been several inquires from people that would like to adopt.

Later.
