Didn't the Romans use to attack giraffes in the Coliseum? Who the heck attacks a giraffe?

This will never end.

Feel free to put me on ignore if you'd rather not read my posts.

Shooting cats from the balcony of one's home is illegal in Florida. Your personal justification has no bearing on that.

Since this video has surfaced, more photos and videos of animal abuse from this same group have come up. One shows the star of this new show shooting a hammerhead shark, posing with a shark with it's throat slit, one person carrying a dead dog that they plan to use for shark bait, pouring beer into the gills of a fish and watching it die. Just to name a few. Totally outrageous and totally disgusting! I hope these losers get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and I hope MTV cancels this show.

Another bad story.

Giraffes, elephants and pretty much any other animal on four legs.

Do not even come on here and promote the shooting of feral cats. You need serious help.

And not just feral cats, domesticated cats who are allowed to go outside.

The man who brags about killing them is photographed shooting at them with a bow and arrow from the second floor balcony of his 30,000 square foot beach mansion.

He's doing it for fun. And it's sick.

The following article is not connected to this person but is about a cat found with an arrow stuck in his head. It's very cruel to shoot at cats with a bow and arrow.

Quote:
Doctors said the arrow penetrated behind one of the cat’s eyes and came out his mouth. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Dr. Rachael Johnson, a veterinarian at the hospital.
“No animal should suffer the pain he suffered,” said Anderson.

Doctors euthanized Strush due to the severity of his injuries.

“I think one of the important things about it is, not only the animal suffering, but also the concern about the individuals that are doing this to animals, that they’re dangerous people,” said Dr. Rachael Johnson, a veterinarian at VCA Alton Road.
“This is the most horrendous crime I’ve ever seen committed on an animal in those nine years,” said Anderson.

Explaining why they're BOTH bad is not justifying one sides behavior.

Actually I'm promoting the fact that owners of cats that are allowed to roam and massacre the local birds, rabbits, squirrels, lizards and so forth are as bad as the jerk that shot feral cats.

I'm sorry that you and others do not recognize those actions for what they are and are blind to the fact that you're not being responsible pet owners.

The shooter is an active animal killer, the cat owners are passive animal killers.

Hope that helps you understand better that I support NEITHER scenario....but wow, cat owners get really touchy when you point out to them what "Mr. Snuggles" is doing outside. Heck, I can't tell you how many cat owners just love to share stories about the latest dead critter their cat brought home.

Well it's gotten a lot better because if we were still that bad instead of Monday night football we'd be instead watching gladiatorial games and if you think slaughtering giraffes was bad that's nothing compared to the REALLY bad stuff the Romans did.

For example, warning: really bad stuff....

Spoiler
They had various animals trained to rape people, including one old slave woman that was killed by a giraffe that way...not to mention the others killed during training. There's worse but I'm not going to put it in here. Ugh.

There's no comparison between a person who lets their cats go outside and a person who shoots cats from one's balcony with a bow and arrow for fun. It also doesn't take a cat owner to understand that there is huge difference between the two scenarios and types of people.

Signed,
A responsible dog owner.

P.S. I don't have cats.
