Click this to see the screenshots. Warning: it is unpleasant but all you see is the landlord with a hand gun pointing at the cat. You don’t see the cat. I won’t show the video as Google does not like them (and I hate them). But I believe people should be aware of these …
Antonio Tiberi is a top professional cyclist. He was the junior world time-trial champion in 2019. The man has talent. But he was foolish and did not realise what he was doing or the potential consequences of his actions. Note: well-publicised crimes against animals result in severe damage to reputation particularly to high-profile sportsmen …
This is a personal tirade. Almost a rant. Sorry, but this man’s behavior makes me angry. He appears to have asked his wife (or a friend) to photograph him with his son as he holds the head of the cougar that he just shot dead on a hunting trip. A very pleasant (not) family …

This is by no means a complete list. It was actually quite hard to select the ones I wanted to include in the infographic which is limited to five as there are so many horrendous cat killers. These happen to be in the USA but there are others one of which is a pretty …
PETA usefully sets out the history of this grim and disturbing story of animal cruelty. They state on their website that the then Secretary of Defence, Casper Weinberger, permanently banned the shooting of dogs and cats in “wound labs”. The year was 1983 and Mr Weinberger banned the practice because of PETA’s campaign to …
