Nail attack sickens SPCA

[Patrick]

Joe KARAM is on to it... the cat did it to itself apparently....

[Beemer]

Has someone taken over Patrick? He used to talk sense now he's got Karam on the brain... bizarre...

If it had been shot 10 times through the head with a .22 would anybody care?

I doubt it.

I suspect it was pretty much dead after the first one or two nails - less than a second.

It would have been a cruel/sick act if the shooter put one nail into it and let it stagger off.

I agree that a lot of it is just shock factor (turns my stomach pretty badly) but someone who is doing that to a cat is probably not too concerned about killing them humanely before sticking the nails in. No telling what other abuses the animal suffered before the nails, or whether a couple of those nails went in first specifically positioned to not kill the cat.

My beloved furball is happily curled up on my lap at the moment and I'd like to think I could handle most things with a relatively even keel, but even the thought of someone doing something like that to her brings out violent urges.

There are two main issues with acts like this.
1. Animal cruelty and the punishment of it
2. Animal cruelty and it's link to sociopathic behavior

There does need to be more severe punishment for this type of offence and it also needs to be taken more seriously with the offenders monitored, provided with counselling etc.

So while some may not care if a cat gets shot I'm sure you'd be slightly bothered about someone stoving your head in with a brick because they thought it was funny.

Interestingly, bed wetting is another potential indicator for sociopathic behavior, better keep an eye on RM then.

I would personally be just as disgusted. Any form of animal cruelty gets me, whether it's done without a weapon (other than fists and feet) or with a 4 x 2 or a gun or something else. Although I am not interested in hunting, I don't have a huge problem with something being shot quickly. I do have a problem with ANY animal being tortured or abused. If it were my cat, trust me, even if someone shot it once and killed it, the fact they shot it in the first place would still anger me.

Hopefully this cat did die quickly. But knowing the sick fuck who put the nails into it in the first place, it's likely he did the first few slowly so it suffered the maximum amount before dying.

We call it black humour.....

Stuff this bad, you gotta take the piss a little or else you lose your marbles.....

Methinks yours are already rolling away - and fast!

Nah, its the darned fox terrier... he loves em....

Persistent little fecker wants you to throw them so he can chase it down, kill it and bring it back, just so you can throw it again.... and again.... and again..............

Sadly I think the person who gave "The alledged offender" the nails really needs the help here.

What about the 1000's of native birds and animal that one cat would of killed?

I think more humans are responsible for bird deaths than cats if you take into consideration the native bush felling over the years.

I was called out recently by the owners of a huge house near bush with lots of glass balconies, glass windows, to apply some visual strip so birds would not fly into the windows. They were having up to 15 birds a day breaking there necks flying into them.

This is quiet a common request round here, but only by people who do care, and most people are concerned which is good to see.

There's always gotta be one fucktard!

What sickens me is that if it was a human being killed, there would have been a lot less outrage.
When a guy gets killed because some idiot was not looking at the road, or a grandfather dies because a bozo has a bout of road rage, I don't hear the calls to pump him full of nails or run his head over with a truck. What gives?

[Patrick]

Wasn't there a guy in Oz, who had this happen to him recently? Head full of nails, just like this cat?

I don't think there has been mention of cruelty, I doubt the cat felt much after the first nail through the swede (kinda like a bullet to the brain).

I think that everybody moaning about this incident is upset (for some obscure reason) that (a) a nail gun was used and (b) the number of nails used.

But like you I do not tolerate cruelty or animals being tortured, got no time for 'humans' that do that kinda shit.
