Cats have always come off badly where there are packs of hounds and the heartless individuals who ride to them.

I can remember a member of these boards who purports to be a cat lover telling us about the special tweed jacket he wears for hunting.

It would be the New Forest Hunt I believe.

Didn't you recently have a case where a guy was going round decapitating cats, in Brighton wasn't it.

There's no accounting for why people do such horrible things, whether that be a teenager or an older man. Something is wrong with their thinking.

I wouldn't give them the honour of referring to them as animals, no animal treat any other animal in such a manner.

I expect they would claim it’s their human rights to torture animals. Animals themselves!

Absolutely despicable behaviour No normal person will ever understand it. The poor owners I feel so sorry for them and the poor cat too of course.

why people do these things I really don't know.
I suppose in the larger schema of things it is a minor tragedy but not for those close by.
