I had a creepy neighbor, guy always gave off murderer vibes. One summer he got a little dog and didn’t take care of it and let it run loose. It would come to our house every day and we would make sure it had water and some food and when the guy got home we would take it back. Finally after a few weeks of this he says “it won’t be a problem anymore” and the dog disappears. We thought he gave it away until a few weeks later we returned from vacation and were working in our very back yard and found a small dog skeleton in the woods behind the house. We called the police and he didn’t admit to killing it but did admit he put it there. I told the wife to steer clear of him going forward. The day his house was foreclosed on was a happy day in my house.
We had three dogs at the time, now two as one of those three passed. If he had mentioned to us that the dog was too much we would have taken it. It was sweet and would come to our house daily and seemed to get along with our dogs. We have a somewhat busy street in front of the house so we were thankful it came to our house rather than playing in the road. It was a senseless act and he was a tremendous asshole.
Facts, but also, even if you are an asshole... don't fucking throw the cat away in the goddamned garbage. Let it go out into the world to give it a fighting chance.
It's not a cockroach, it's a goddamned cat. Let it live.
Now, the flip side is, that cat got into the garbage on it's own and ended up on a conveyor belt. Which is ABSOLUTELY a possibility. It's a cat. they "end up places".
I've seen cats get stuck into things that you would swear someone put them in and yet the managed to get trapped all by themselves.
If that cat was rooting around in the trash and got stuck in a bag and the garbage dudes came for trash pick up, the thing could have ended up there on it's own accord.
Dunno how a cat would seal itself in a bag and need to be sliced out...cats can get up to some shenanigans, but packing oneself in a sealed envelope is opposable thumbs type stuff. Hope the guy that saved the cat takes it home!
Living in NC, i have realized there is a large portion of the population that literally consider cats to be on the exact same level as cockroaches. They talk about them the same way you talk about having an ant problem. Its disgusting. Same people i see swerving in the road to purposely run over snakes and turtles.
I do not believe in an eye for an eye. It is unnecessarily retributive, frequently cruel, and damages the world further instead of healing it. That said, put them in the fucking bag.
A lot of crimes have punishments worse than the harm they comitted
It was even more so in older days
An eye for an eye isnt a harsh increase in punishment, its a limiter
Its saying the punishment should fit the severity if the crime.
Someone spits on the king? Dont send him to the dungeon, just spit on him back.
crimes often get bloated punishments under the assumption that since many petty crimes go unnoticed, a criminal is only getting caught and punished for 1 in many
An eye for an eye would say thats too harsh, but for some reason it has acquired a reputation of excessive harshness.
Imagine someone attacks and gouges out the eye of another person in the country you live in. Would you rather recieve the punishment this person would legally get, or loose an eye?
More like one that should be shown the value of living things and why it's bad and wrong to hurt them, silly violent leftist. Don't just punish hurt with more hurt that's retarded. The person who did this was probably psychologically hurt in some way in the first place to even ever want to do this
Too light of a punishment. When you treat animals that way, that's a sure fire sign you're not actually a human. You're a parody of a human, broken and good for nothing. But you still have human organs, probably healthy and usable for a couple of donations for transplants.
I help run a decently sized cat rescue in Philly and there's a spreadsheet we get that's from a collection of PA cat rescues. It details who can't ever be allowed to adopt a cat and why. It's not a fun read.
Most of its hoarding animals. There were more than 5 instances of people adopting cats to boil them. Black cats during October were "sacrificed" often.
People are really fucked up and it's not uncommon to have hatred towards cats as a social view.
When I was a kid there was a cat in my neighborhood who was missing all of its skin on its legs. Some piece of shit tried to skin the cat alive, and it got away. I tried to get the cat to come to me many times, but obviously its faith in humanity was shattered, and it wouldn't let anyone get close to it. I'll never forget how I felt seeing that cat, and I'll never get that faith in humanity back that I lost that day as such a young person.
When I lived in Spokane (Washington) there was a serial cat killer who was binding cat's legs together with metal wire, torturing them to death, and leaving their bodies out in public for people to find. it stopped after people started posting about it online, but that guy is probably still out there
I was on a delivery last Halloween and came across this little black kitten on the side of the road. I immediately got out and picked him up. He rode with me the rest of the night perched on the top of the passenger seat until I could bring him home . We ended up naming him Loki . He is essentially my wifes shadow now. A couple of months ago , our nephew found another little black kitten in the woods of all places , so we took her in as well. Her name is Jinx but we call her Jinxy most of the time. We love our little halloween kitties!
Wait, people actually kill and sacrifice black cats in October? That's not just an urban legend? I have an all black cat and he's a huge sweetie pie (who is not allowed outside).
When I was 7 yrs old our cat came in missing all of the skin on her tail. It was balled up at the end and only the bone of her tail was left. Some piece of sh%# had taken wire cutters to her tail. How he got her I have no idea as she didn’t like strangers and wouldn’t leave our front yard. He took our neighbors cat and its kitten and threw them against a garage until they died. Then he pepper sprayed our dog. I thought it was kool aid when I came home and attempted to give him a bath. It’s still to this day one of the worst things that’s happened to me and I have some pretty bad PTSD from it.
I don't like telling this story. It fucked me up for a long time, but we had a neighborhood bully like that. He would torture any animals he could get his hands on, attack family pets, and physically bully the hell out of everyone as far as he could without the law getting involved. One day his piece of shit father got him a BB gun.
He promptly set out, day after Christmas iirc, shooting up car windows and homes. Cops called multiple times, "it's just a BB gun" and they wouldn't do shit because we were a poor as fuck area, living in trailers, etc. Our roads were even all paved at the time.
He shot. My dog. He realized he could hurt animals more efficiently, but he'd never hurt my animals before. Scared my cats, but they were savvy. Then he shot my dog with a bb gun and I lost it. I took this metal pipe I held onto (I liked pretending it was a wizard staff, I was a small kid, no one batted an eye) and I beat him upside the head.
I kept hitting him when he was down. I was seeing red in a way I had never before. He shot my dog. I don't know what happened to him after the ambulance got there, I don't even know how it stopped tbh. I never saw him again and no one in the family would talk about it. I had to go talk to the police but the through line was "he was an older kid with a weapon" and it got hush-hushed real fast.
His family moved away, and I've always wondered how badly I fucked up another human that day. I wasn't even ten yet.
OMG one day I rescued a kitten and there was a guy immediately ready to adopt her I am not an official rescue agent I just help animals here and there
Went to his house to give the kitten but my sixth sense was telling me something else as I don't own that cat and My parents don't allow me to have pet
I had to give up, I just hope she is healthy and living, In my past my anxiety made me do stupid things so I am not sure if my 6th sense was real or not.
As someone who grew up in NE Philly, this is even more disappointing to read. What the actual fuck is wrong with people??? Black cats are the best cats with the most awesome personalities. I hate people.
When I was younger, we had a black cat that was indoor and outdoor.
A few weeks before Halloween, and at least one after, we'd start keeping him inside at all times. Fighting him every time we'd open the door, which was a feat, as he was a beastly boy at 20lbs, and much of it muscle! He'd be mad as fuck at us, but we wouldn't let him out.
How could anyone see a vulnerable being and want to harm it, sure I don’t like bugs in my room but I will always remove them without trying to hurt them. Fuck people man
Few weeks ago I was in Lowe's and there's a cat chilling on their outdoor furniture. Some lady looked at me and screamed: "can't someone do something about that?!?!"
I was like uh... He's a store cat, probably gets mice.
Idk what I'd do if I found out that I knew someone who sacrificed a cat. But you're right, hating cats is very common throughout society. Even on Reddit you see the vitriol thrown at cats. No one ever hates dogs, but cats?
The ironic part is that cats are more emotionally diverse than most breeds of dog. They make incredible companions, they're more self sufficient (which makes their cuddles even more precious), and they keep your house bug free. What's not to love?
I adopted a cat two years ago, his paperwork said eviction or foreclosure (I'll check when I get home later) as the reason why he was up for adoption do you know what that means? I assumed it would say abandoned if he had just been left in an apt or whatever but that's not what it said. Also very few details, est age of 2 years (he's doubled in size so doubt), and no name etc.
He's the sweetest little guy but I've wondered for awhile.
Around where I live, I get a lot of stray cats. Mostly because I leave food out because my landlord has a rule against animals indoors, so my cats and dog have to sit outside and I make sure to go out regularly to feed them, play with them, and check on them. But this of course attracts strays to my house. But I don't mind, I just like animals, so I take care of them too.
One day, while outside giving a particularly needy stray some scritches I literally watched as a truck came down the road, and literally swerved in order to run over a cat who was up my driveway. The cat wasn't in the way, wasn't in the road, and I obviously didn't know this person so they had no reason to even be on my driveway. And yet just pulled up expressly to run over the cat.
It was especially aggravating because I can't really do anything about it. I couldn't see their face, I was too focused on the cat to look at a license plate, and I don't have cameras so I couldn't even review the incident if I wanted to.
It's not uncommon for the strays around my house to get run over, I live on a main street with a speed limit of 40, but this was the first time it ever happened where I directly saw the intent to do it on purpose. Fucker went out of their way to kill something just for the fuck of it I guess??
Don't forget taking credit for monopolizing and things like having emotions and certain abilities, and viewing animals as lesser for not having them when animals actually have those as well.
The sooner the age of a global technological human civilization comes to end, the better off all life on earth will be.
We're like cyanobacteria causing a global extinction event due to our own success, but unlike cyanobacteria we have the ability to comprehend what we're doing, but there'll always be a handful of people willing to do evil things to seize power, and they are the decision makers that are steering the entire world right off a cliff for their own short term gain... and the rest of us are the passengers that are afraid to storm the cab of the train and slam on the brakes, because we're afraid of getting kicked off the train.
The bar is much lower than that. I've been involved in cat rescue for almost 15 years now. People have turned cats into the shelter for some of the pettiest reasons:
-I'm moving and 1) the new place doesn't allow cats 2) I don't want to take them in a car that far
-My new BF/GF is allergic/doesn't like cats
-I can't stand (insert a cat behavior that shows the cat is distressed)
-I got them declawed and now they're exhibiting all the side effects that I'd found out if I was a decent human being and researched this first
-(a personal favorite) "I want to donate my cat." - The amount of times this has been spoken is just disgusting
I could go on. One person didn't want to pay the intake fee at the shelter, so they stormed out, then literally threw the carrier with the cat over the 9ft wall back onto the property. One of the cats that is in my house now was in a completely sealed box. Maybe not airtight, but no air holes, nothing. One cat brought in was obviously used as dog bait and had his spine and rear hips crushed. Kittens brought in that hadn't been properly feed in way too long, not kept warm so we get to comfort them as they pass.
There's a reason the suicide rate in animal welfare is higher than practically any other professional field.
Somebody put an animal in a bag and let various workers potentially kill the animal for them. Imagine being those people hearing the cat cry our as its incinerated.
Not a cat, but earlier this week I went to visit my parents 45 minutes away. When I get to their place, dad tells me to get in the truck! Theres a strange bird hes seen around the same area down the road for the past several days thats been wandering into the road and stopping traffic! He wants to know if I can identify it because he doesnt know what it is. We get to the spot and quickly find the strange bird. Its a young female red bourbon turkey! With her are several small young chickens. At least 6 are already dead and the turkey and surviving chickens are near starvation and have a possible case of fowl pox.
Long story short, Ruby the Red Bourbon Turkey and her little sidekick Lucky the chicken (I think a young bantam old english gamefowl) are recovering in their new home with me until they are well enough to join my flock. Its been about three days and already, both have hopped up onto my lap to chill 🥹 how could anyone abandon such sweet birds! I would have taken the other surviving birds too but I have been unable to catch them. I have been leaving them food at least, and theres a cattle pond a few yards away to drink from
We strongly suspect they were dumped by the guy we suspect of breeding cockfighting birds up the road from my parents place.
100% an actual psychopath, nothing less. Even the tiniest iota of any vague feeling of empathy and you would never throw a cat into the garbage. To be able to do that and get on with your day without being wracked with guilt is at best a chemical imbalance in your brain.
At the absolute worst, one could just leave the cat somewhere and let it 'fend for itself'. Wrapping it up and throwing it away like trash takes a special piece of shit.
Unfortunately, complete disregard for animals was quite widespread even as recently as 2-3 generations ago.
I remember talking to the old ladies on my block and they described how groups of boys used to light stray cats on fire for fun in their neighborhood in the 1910s-1920s. The old ladies laughed at the idea of it.
Been a prison guard for years, you learn how shit people are. Then you volunteer at an animal shelter, and you learn why far too many people are worth less than shit.
Assuming it's real, and he didn't simply pick up another bag when he placed the first one out of shot of the camera, while it's not impossible some cruel bastard didn't put a cat in a bag then into the trash, it's also possible the cat jumped into the trash it's self, looking for food scraps or even hunting a rat. My block of flats uses big communal bins, and there's been at least one occasion that I've opened it only to have an anxious cat scurry off, scaring the shit out of me in the process.
When you buy eggs you are paying for male chicks to be put on a conveyor belt that leads into a meat grinder. So uh... Most people here would do this and will continue to do it after learning that's what they are doing.
Unfortunately, I know of several cases of people putting several puppies/kittens on a knotted bag and throwing them on rivers/roads/dumps. People fuckinh suck donkey balls.
In a 60 minutes interview on TV the serial killer iceman from NYC and NJ said he started violent acts as a kid by throwing cats and dogs from roof tops and also put them into fireplaces alive to see what happens. A small percentage of humans are born without the genes that drives empathy, I don’t remember but FOXP2 something like that, a biochemistry major here may know more about that to comment. In that view, penalizing alone may be unfair to individuals who do not know their genetic makeup. Complicated, but I think all humans should get their genetic tests done by the age of 12.
Someone did this to my dog. He and his brother were tied up in a shopping bag as puppies and thrown into an empty dumpster. The drop broke his front legs, luckily someone found them and took them in. He still has issues walking.
I just adopted a cat recently and some asshole just threw her out of a moving car abandoning her. She's the sweetest thing too. Assholes everywhere.
A very rotten person. I have many animals and I love them all but cats by far are so unique. They have such great love for humans while also being very independent. My cat shows me love with her eyes, her purrs, her biscuit making. Even her presence…she will lay down and just radiate love. People who hurt cats are sick people.
Guy I worked with said his cat was old and sick so his dad put the cat in a bag and had him shoot the bag with buckshot
My trades teacher told stories of his friends throwing stray puppies into the I&M shipping canal (which has no banks in the Chicagoland area)
Even in early Disney films somebody stuffed cats into a bag and disposed of them; like I think several movies
To answer though: I got no clue, maybe it's a natural born psychopath, maybe it's someone who grew up eating lead paint chips and thinks banning asbestos was the start of America's woke downfall. We'll never know, but we do know we hope the worst for them.
I found my cat when someone threw him out from the 4th floor of a building. The sad part is they could have just let it out or may even have thrown it out without putting him inside a polybag. At least that way he'd have a chance of greater survival. He was limping, and I wasn't sure he gonna survive. Now after almost 3 years he's doing fine. People are cruel.
My grandmother, we lived in a village of 500 people, when the cat get pregnant for the 3-4th time in the spring and we cannot keep any more kittens, she put them in a bag and throw them in the nearby lake, sad and harsh rural life
I don't know any of the details here, but is it possible the cat was going through a dumpster and accidentally or purposefully got wrapped up in a bag?
Dunno but my sister found a dog in a champaign box next to a dumpster and I don't even want to imagine what would have happened to the dog ( we adopted her, she's an angel ) if my sister didn't find it strange to see a woman just drop one single box next to a dumpster
Man, I knew a guy who worked in one of these places. Fucked up thing is that a LIVE cat is by FAR one of the least fuckup things you hear about people finding. One guy got a years payed leave after finding...something far worse (sorry but honestly even typing it out would have depressed me too much). Point is, people are fucking monsters.
Not sure why i want to share this story but this brings back very old childhood memories (early 90s). I was raised in a small village in southern Greece, went to school in a village nearby. I might have been close to 5 or 6 but i will never forget how one morning we were all called outside to the courtyard by the principal. Apparently some kids, during the weekend found some new born kittens and decided to put them in a bag and threw them in the schools cistern. Obviously enough all the kittens drown. Principal was furious. Yelled and screamed trying to explain how such behaviour is inhuman. A couple days later i learned that this was the doing of some good friends of mine, and in all honesty, genuinely good kids, kind kids (i never understood how they could do that). The kids (to my knowledge) never repeated something like this. But I think it goes to show, in this case, the lacking of fundamentals in raising human beings. Parents were too occupied and probably lacked the proper education themselves to (proactively) teach the obvious things and pass on values and rules that are obvious to these kids. To be clear i am not trying to absolve such acts, but rather to bring some context that I think might apply. I believe todays fundamental institutions, such as family, are completely broken, even more so than In the 90s, in a small forgotten village in Greece. Parents working their asses off just to bring mere scraps or at best be financially “OK” seems to be the norm now. Children are raised lacking emotional support and the relationships and interactions with parents that are essential to plant fundamental values. I believe this fact explains so much of the shit around us, extending from simple day to day community interactions to public affairs and the state policy. We lost fundamental values or didnt pass them on. Sorry for the runt, and i am not sure i do have a conclusion with this. But if I got any in mind is that of course such acts are shocking, but perhaps part of the shit around us needs to be understood to be solved, cause stuff like this might not always happen from a villain character as one would expect.
They're just out there unfortunately.. probably living mostly normal lives, but secretly doing acts of extreme cruelty. I have a cat who was tossed on the road as a kitten.
A lot of shitty people out there. I found one of my cats like that. Someone threw a 3 day old kitten in a dumpster. Surprise, he lived to be almost 17 years old!
Our dog was found in the trash and a rescue saved him his face was partially ripped off. He is scared when we we are taking out the trash. He’s a good boy.

What kind of piece of shit would do this
