SO what? I laughed. I said it was a comical image in my head. I also stated that I would have reacted differently had I actually seen the event occur. Chill out. A cat died. No need to cry over it.
Now, on to the other matter at hand. It's evident that at least a couple of kids were sorry for what they did, which is a good sign. (I'd hate for them to have to seek help like I so evidently need to
) I also need to say that if laughing at a cat being thrown against a wall is sign's of needing help, then wanting to seek out children and throw them against the wall is also a sign of needing help.
The fact is that the kids did something stupid and mean. Kids are mean. Does it constitute bad parenting? Not necessarily. Does it mean they have "serial killer" tendencies? Not necessarily. The kids were undoubtedly punished and hopefully they have learned the lesson that mistreating animals is not a good thing to do. They should just leave that up to the people drawing comics and cartoons.
no need to retort this ... I'm late for an appointment with my shrink
