They say that people most serial killers begin by abusing animals. I really hope these children are caught and punished accordingly. (Although, sadly, I'm sure they won't be punished severly enough.)

You're so right, Jen. This is a MAJOR issue with me. We wouldn't leave our defenseless children outside all day so why would we leave our defenseless animals outside? I'm not even fond of the idea of bigger dogs being left out in a fenced-in yard all the time, but I know some dogs actually prefer to be outside, and situations aren't always black and white to judge. I would worry about wild animals hurting my babies, much less mentally-unstable individuals putting these poor animals through God knows what. I guess I really don't even understand the point of getting a cat to just leave it outside. I feel sorry for your bf's neighbor and his kids, but I really hope he thinks twice about what the other cat probably went through before getting another "outdoor" cat.

(I'm sorry, Brooke, I really don't mean to sound like a b*tch, but I am such an animal person that I hate to think of any animal not living with the love and protection they deserve. The quote from someone's signature really explains my feelings: the strong must protect the weak.)
