What the hell is with folks attacking animals this week?
Earlier this week, the winner of “Survivor Thailand” was arrested for shooting his neighbor’s dog, which made the terrible mistake of wandering onto his property, with an arrow. The pooch survived, happily. Now, word comes of a second incident involving two pets which were not as lucky as the neighborly dog.
Twenty-year-old Kentucky man David May allegedly found his neighbor’s cat on his car and decided the best course of action to take would be to swat the cat off his car and shoot it with his rifle. So he did so. May’s neighbor, Arlon White, started off reasonably, wandering over to May’s mobile home to find out what the hell was up. But then he apparently decided to enact his own brand of trailer park justice by taking May’s innocent little cat and allegedly choking it, tossing it onto the driveway and telling May, “now we’re even.” Apparently, neither men realized that there were these little pesky laws out there about not being cruel to animals and so, of course, they’ve both been arrested and charged with animal cruelty. They’re scheduled to make their court appearances in the end of August.
Now, I hate cats as much as the next Kentucky trailer park guy (although, I suppose they don’t hate cats all that much, since they each owned one). But even still, this is just wrong on so many levels. Seriously, people, stop taking out your anger and neighborly dispute on the animals, would you. Think of the pets, won’t you please think of the pets?

Horrible, horrible. Both of these wastes of human skin should be taken out of the gene pool.
