I just read this and it just made me sick at how cruel some people could be.

That makes me so mad! I love cats! How can anyone be so cruel?

Cats?

All I'm getting is "Huge Steam Pipe Blast Kills One in NYC."
What happened with the cats?

Try the link again, I got the general news thing at first.

The cat was in a cat cage, and some girls poured petrol on it and set it on fire and laughed as it was screaming.

WHAT THE HELL?

Have to say, my gut instinct is that in a fair world, the same would be done to the two girls.

How the hell do people think crap like this is funny.

Sometimes I think the death penalty isn't a half bad idea.

Normally it is wrong to hit girls. Nothing wrong with projectiles though.

Equal rights works two ways, in my opinion. If they deserve it, give it to them. After what they did, they deserve the full load.

Indeed. I have no mercy for these two, they deserve what they get.

It's supposed to be teenage boys that commit these kinds of crimes! You know what they say, young people that abuse animals like that are far likelier to grow up to become murderers and robbers et al.

And by they, I mean a couple of articles on CNN.com I might have read a couple of years ago but can't be arsed to look for.

A while back here in Sydney Australia some boys were beating up a kitten at a train station. The kitten survived, if I recall, and the whole community was absolutely outraged at those boys. Hate to see what would happen to them if they let slip what they did.

But shocking that this sort of thing isn't just an isolated thing.

Yes, two people who sorely need the book thrown at them. But then again (and this is towards earlier comments), if it is so wrong to do that to animals, it is just as wrong to do that to humans, guilty of it or not. We need to show that cruelty is not okay by not being that way to our own species!

But these two should definitely be punished to the full extent of the law, if they are guilty.

How can they not be guilty?
