Felony?

Misdemeanor?

Fine?

Stories like this really piss me off.

quote:

Police say a Harlan County man who allegedly threw a cat into a wood-burning stove during an argument has been charged with a felony.

Kentucky State Police charged 48-year-old Rex Hinton with torturing an animal. Investigators say Hinton got into an argument with his wife last month at their home and threw the animal into the stove and slammed the door. Hinton's wife retrieved the cat but it later died.

I'm not even a big fan of cats, but I still want to kill this guy.

People like that need to go to the mental hospital.

Felony for sure.

I'm too lazy to dig up links, but isn't there a solid connection between harming animals and propensity to do the same to people?

so people can murder 10,000 cows a day and it's called business, but I throw one cat in a fireplace and suddenly I'm the psycho?!?

There's a difference between using animals for food and psychotically killing them.

tongue in cheek, friend.

i don't, however, think it should be a felony.

Morality beats my politics on this issue, it should be a felony to torture and kill your animal like this.

Write a ticket and be done with it?

Something else?

Read the story...It wasn't a pleasure thing. It was out of anger.

you have to get a permit and there are limits to what and how many you can kill.

I don't think recreational live cat cremations have similar regulations in place.
