Thing that bothers me about a story like this is if it was a dog and the dog had bitten them to protect itself, it would have been destroyed.

You're absolutely right - that's the difference between animals and humans. If someone torments a dog and it retaliates and tries to protect itself, it's the dog's fault!

If there's one thing I can't handle, it's people being mean to animals.

This i find such a strange comment that i just cant leave it alone..........never mind i guess i should just get over it.............tell ya though matt when some really bad shit happens in your life dont come lookin for sympathy as all you will get from me is "millons of people die in Africa"

He's young & ignorant mate.. don't bother with it!!

why was there no fence around the pool. Or if there was, how did they get into it. I thought you could be charged if you didn't have a fenced pool?

Exactly the same question I posed to a council pool "inspector" a while back.
The council hasn't fenced the streams and ponds in its jurisdiction, so how can it persecute home owners?
Strangely enough, I only received waffle in response...

Yes, true... but you can't help people who aren't prepared to help themselves.

You mean the exploited people ravaged by AIDS, climate, civil war and international debt?

Of course they're not prepared...

[Jorja]

purely because people tend to watch kids more around pools. My brother has a property that has a stream run through the middle. He is not required to fence it. Stupid if ya ask me

Fuck off, I'd like to see you survive one day in their shoes tough guy.

[deathstar]

well all i would like to see and sounds a bit sick but if these 5 year old kids can't swim lets throw them in the pool and throw them off the trampoline and generally push them about and see how they like it ... my cat is amazing but i know he must have had someone a bit pissy before we got him because he is always a bit weary and a bit too bitey playful. but hell should be some sort of list "oh hell mr james sorry but when you were 5 you beat a cat half to death so you can piss off if you think your owning an animal" i wouldn't even let those kids into a petting zoo with that sort of attitude ... but just my 2c worth of weird comments anyway

[98tls]

Fuck off, I'd like to see you survive one day in their shoes tough guy.

Thing is dip shit im not in there shoes..........neither are you.....as for tough guy i dont remember saying i was........if you want to go save the world then good for you.......go..you sound like the typical nana worshipping/world saving full of yourself worthless fucker thats been the downfall of this country for years..........If you would rather cry over the rest of the worlds problems and ignore whats going on in your own back yard then tell you what........give yourself a hard on and give me the red rep.........

[Mr. Peanut]

Apparently it was a paddling pool but as everyone knows, kids can drown in a couple of inches of water (shame these tossers didn't) so they should still have been supervised. As for harming the kittens, they ARE old enough to know how to treat animals with respect. One parent didn't give a shit, the other (who owned the kittens) was horrified and immediately disciplined her children. The SPCA has kept the kittens and I doubt the owner would want them back as she must realise her kids can't be trusted yet, and the kids next door won't have any problem harming them again as they won't be told off by their parents.

My husband read the item in the paper and said "four kids? Naenae? Four different fathers then." Probably not far wrong.
