Mice have had enough most carry a blade these days.

'Murder' is specifically a word applying to humans killing other humans. Not animals. Deplorable to stab cats to death it is (I'm not fond of the little beggars myself, but cruelty towards them - no way, although I will chase them out of my garden if they want to crap there) but murder it ain't.

Cruelty to animals - yes it is. Unacceptable - yes. Criminal - yes. But murder - no. That's the law.

 

[Algernon]

Felicide.

 

[GT49er]

Felicide.

Applied regularly, cures a lot of nasty rashes, I believe!

 

[astralavi]

The immoral, and in this case brutal killing of animals could be described as murder (ok not in a strict legal sense) - The 'elusive cat murderer', the person committing these acts is certainly a cat killer. If your cat or dog was stabbed to death by a human I think you could rightly say it had been murdered

We quibble over terms.

Bottom line is whoever is responsible for this needs pushing over beachy head.

That would be murder.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Glad I have indoor cats.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

That would be murder.

Not if you got a cat to do it....

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Felicide.

Isn't that the death of luck?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

We quibble over terms.

Bottom line is whoever is responsible for this needs pushing over beachy head.

A very steep learning curve

Lots of talk over in Worthing about a gang of youths in Goring regularly running riot kicking the wing mirrors off cars and vandalising them and causing mayhem, many have been identified by locals yet the police are unable to stop them or interview them. Lets hope they don't make the fatal mistake of attacking a cat, seems the police will have to act then.

In a dystopian kind of way, I'd love to rid ourselves of all those sick individuals who get a kick out of such cruelty. No trial, no right of appeal. Just 'goodbye'. People often say a human life is worth more than an animals but I'm not so sure if they're causing misery and pain with such mindless acts. After all, 9 out of 10 people say their cats would prefer this.
