That's why I always say crimes deserve punishment but I think any violent crime against people or animals should be automatic permanent removal from society - the quick cheap way!  >:(

A cat can be nothing but blameless whatever the people may or may not have done  :'(

nobody seems to know why the couple were murdered, I guess if somebody is going to kill two people they'd have no problem killing a cat

They're trying to figure out if there is any cultural significance in murdering their pet.

Sick sick  :censored:

I was really upset when I first read about this - and then I felt just slightly guilty that I felt more upset about the cat being killed than I did about the two people.

I assume we know that the cat was indeed their pet, do we?

After reading that article, I'm not sure what anyone could have done to deserve that kind of end. How awful.

I don't mean those people in particular, just people in general. Animals are always blameless?

Sometimes animals know when they're being naughty....but they get away with it. ;)

Sorry Mark, wasn't having a dig. I just find it difficult to comprehend what motivates people to do such horrible things.
