Young boys killing small animals is not out of the ordinary. If its other peoples cats, obviously there are charges that can be made, since the animal is someone else property. But I mean, little boys hunt down small animals all the time. I don't know how many squirrels, frogs, birds, and other various small animals I shot at, up at my grandpa's cabin when I was a youngster.
There probably isn't any difference to a kid who does it. I don't think kids are fully capable of understanding and comprehending the effects of their actions.
An 18-year-old person who can vote doesn't understand or comprehend the effects of his actions? :shock:
It's one thing to shoot at an animal. It's another thing to torture it and crush its skull and pull out its eyeballs.
Some people are just naturally evil deep down inside. I rather them do it to a cat than a smaller kid or any other human. They just need to make sure kids like this do not end up a guard at Guantanamo.
Does a cat have human rights?
Our society treats animals like crap in general. What this guy did to these cats is small potatoes compared to what animals in industry go through hourly. It's the fact that he did it to fuzzy, fluffy cute cats whom we (arbitrarily) love that we think he is sick.
You either feel it for all animals or you feel it for none of them. I don't really pick and choose.

I see what you mean, but why someone would have to torture any living thing is appalling to me. If this kid is acting out because he's being physically abused by his father, then his father should suffer some serious consequences.
Sexist.
Why couldn't it be his dear little momma?
So you see nothing wrong with mutilating animals?
You rather have them guarding human beings?
I guess they don't have human rights since they're not human.
But it's still extremely wrong on a moral point of view to skin live cats. It's cruel and it's barbarous, especially when these cats are owned by people who love them.
Animal violence is even more shocking than violence against humanes, because animals are always innocent. Nothing could "justify" it (unlike a neighbor who gets knocked down because he makes too much noise or insults people)
Too much Spam will kill you!
I was being fatuous but good line to pick out of mine. I know cats are not humans. I think violence against humans is greater than cats because humans have more potential right now in this world.
The Associated Press: 18-year old charged in Florida cat mutilations
They say that this is a possible predictor of serial killing later in life.
And if you say he looks angelic, so did Ted Bundy.

He needs to be locked away now and intensely evaluated. This is a serious escalation in sadism and psychopathy for someone so young. I would definitely be worried that this was a precursor to something much more sinister.

So far the kid is saying he is innocent and the reports around this sound speculative anyways. They say that cops where watching him for 2 weeks? Yet they don't say the caught him in the act. So the incidents happened around his house... that doesn't mean is guilty. They arrested him at a party... I didn't think most cat killing sickos would be having fun at social parties.
Have they searched all the backwoods areas for satanic activity?
I don't know. I mean, yeah, pulling out a cats eyeballs, if it were alive at the time, is pretty sadistic. But I don't see much difference between killing an animal with a sledgehammer or killing it with a firearm. Unless you are trying to bring down a cow or a horse. But with cats, a sledghammer to the skull would be as quick as using a gun.
