As long as it wasn't your cat, who cares, right? As long as it's not your civil liberties, who cares? As long as it's not your girlfriend's unborn child, who cares? Can I guess your political party affiliation?

Nice try, but that is an incredibly broken analogy. Having a gun in your posession does not alter your personality and make you aim it at someone and pull the trigger. Lawful gun-owners are not significantly more prone to commit violent crimes involving a gun. Torturing and killing animals is a stepping-stone to committing similar crimes against humans. Maybe you will feel differently if this kid (or sixate for that matter, he seems a little too proud of what he suggests he's done to animals
) gets out of control and plays feed-the-gator with your baby boy, or your wife, or your mother.

The 14-year-old in this case is not the victim, so don't treat him as one.
