Have you see this? It is not surprising to me but it still sickens me to the bone. It is what I call the dark, nasty underbelly of life which sometimes leaks to the surface through Facebook and other social media sites.
Warning: unless you have a strong stomach don’t click on the link below which takes you to the Facebook page where maniacs appear to have formed a club where they relish abusing domestic cats by punching them. They also appear to set fire to cats. Setting fire to cats is not an uncommon method of cat abuse.
“No need to PANIC ! Cinders is alive and well, and will be fit for next weeks video shoot and display. Don’t forget your cameras.” (Cinders – a sick name because the cat was deliberately burned. The picture is under the sicko comment).
This page should be deleted immediately by Facebook and the police should be investigating and arrests made under animal cruelty laws in the USA. Fat chance of that happening.
Facebook may eventually delete the page and ban the participants but….at best they are horrendously slow and at worst they turn a blind eye to it. Facebook probably can’t control their own website because it is too large. Today the Archbishop of Canterbury is complaining about antisemitic rants or nasty innuendo-laden photos on Facebook, which are not deleted. Facebook are not doing a good enough job at policing their website.
It is small wonder that I gradually become more and more fed up with the world. This ‘club’ is an example of what is wrong. Let’s not kid ourselves. This is the tip of the iceberg.
Elisa tells me there is a petition going around to have the page deleted. Good, but it won’t stop these sick, ignorant people hurting cats.
Where are these bastards?
We don’t know. They are the typical cowardly internet troll types who live under stones.
If you are not Native American you are an invasive species here.Dogs,chickens,cows,etc. are not native.Cows do a lot of damage to the environment,more so than cats.But because they are a money “crop” they are given a free pass.And if people were not so callous and cruel,animals,in general,would not get killed on the road or poisoned or abused.Get your facts straight,Trey. Humans are the biggest and most destructive of all species.Like killing off natural predators so there will be more prey animals for humans to hunt or more land for cattle to graze on.And by the way,people are more likely to get Toxoplasmosis by handling raw meat or eating under cooked meat than exposure to cats.
Thanks Geri. I completely agree with you. I don’t think Trey cares about facts. He just likes to troll and hates cats. I have banned him.
Michael, I have 8 rescues that are inside and I take care of about 6 outside….I have 4 out of the 6 fixed and I’m always trying to find homes for them. I don’t know how many I’ve adopted out over the years. There have been cats that I believe had a home then just let out to wonder the streets…heartbreaking. : ( So here I am, along with many others, trying to help and save these animals from a hard life and then there’s these mentally ill maniacs deliberately harming them….I’m just so beside myself…!!!
Well, I despair with you. It hurts us all this sort of news. Thanks for sharing. And well done in caring for cats in need.
Is there any way of finding out where this is happening?
This is so disturbing I can’t stand it!! I can’t stop thinking about those poor animals….I saw that they may be in Brighton, is that in Michigan? If I could find out where they are I will hound the police until they do something about this outrage!! If anyone has any information about where this is happening I will do whatever it takes to stop this!!
I feel the same way. It makes me feel sad about the world. It spoils my life.
