Teenagers blowing up Kittens

    My neighbour has reported that her Daughter was walking home last night around 8pm in the kiltipper tallaght area.

    She witnessed a group of teenagers strapping a bunch black cats to a kitten and then blew it up in front of her.

    She's extremely distraught and won't leave her room at all.

    Just a message to mind your pets over the weekend.

    I really hate cruelty to animals and don't understand people who engage in it.

    Huh?

    Strapping black cats to a kitten?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,524 ✭✭✭the_pen_turner


    unfortunately there are scum out there that do this sort of thing.
    I think they should strap a firework to them and let them run in fear until it blows up

    Sometimes you read the thread title, and think you must have misread it.

    Huh?

    Strapping black cats to a kitten?

    they basically strapped 5 - 6 cats together along with a kitten and blew them up in front of her.

    Then laughed

    Blackcat is another name for a small banger ( firework )

    Children who abuse animals need to be watched. Mass murderers usually start out by harming pets.

    People like this should be executed.......

    I hope your neighbor reported this to the Gardaí (or whoever deal with this type of behaviour).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Terrlock


    They haven't reported it yet, but I just encouraged her to do so and will as soon as her daughter gets up as she's still in her room in a bad way after witnessing it.

    How do gather up cats for strapping?

    They would take the eye out of you

    Black cats are a type of fire work that they strapped to a kitten

    The poor kitties,****ing scumbags :mad: :(!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Terrlock


    Nobody deals with this type of behaviour. Even if the guards do catch the kids there's nothing they can do. Onus is on their parents to raise properly which they cant be arsed to do.

    This is the real problem, people feel like there isn't anything that can be done.

    But there really should be something done

    Scum. No questions asked. Into the shovel and plenty of porridge. Watch the big brave boys squirm before your eyes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭dexter_morgan


    Hopefully karma will come around and these dirty lowlife sc*mbags will suffer a painful end!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,358 ✭✭✭Aineoil


    That's so sick. Anna080 is right, children who do this should be monitored. They laughed afterwards.....I have no words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,229 ✭✭✭LeinsterDub


    I've been hearing this story every year since my childhood. Either we've a lot of psychopaths roaming around or a touch of urban legend?

    The OP doesn't say if it was all boys. In my experience girls can be equally cruel and willing to carry out some sick sh*t.

    To be honest, what is described above sounds nigh on impossible.

    I can't think why someone would make up something like this but I can't help feeling that this story is made up or seriously exaggerated.

    There is way too much tolerance shown to the deviant activities of "groups of teenagers" in our society generally.

    As posted elsewhere on this thread,this form of violent perversion is usually a very clear indicator of a Mental Issue which is pointing in one direction,which is future violence against human beings.

    I would be reasonably confident that these dregs will have recorded the images on their Phones or somesuch and it will surface in due course.

    Society currently remains confident that such deviance can be successfully treated by various therapies,but I am not so sure.

    Put at it's smplest,and using the Pavlov's Dog response,the controlled application of a level of pain & discomfort,commensurate to that felt by the hapless Kitten would be a very suitable starting point in this case.

    The Probation Act,or some equally laughable sanction in the Childrens Court,will simply embolden these cretins to move up & on in their crusade for fame.

    :mad:


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    Yeah you hear this every year but never anything about people actually being caught. Just someone knew someone who saw it

    I ment black cats to a kitten which are 5 -6 fireworks to a kitten

    :rolleyes: was wondering how long it would take, there's always one.

    There's numerous cases like this of horrendous animal cruelty in this country and what's described sounds pretty typical of these days. Some people are just rotten bastards who need to die screaming.

    I saw some fire brigade footage on RTE of a poor terrier who had been given a firework to hold in its mouth for "fun". The poor dog's jaw was hanging off.

    It's no urban legend.

    Sorry to be controversial but abortion is a good argument for these feral scum.

    Just a bit of clarification ,. One of these "black cat" bangers can take a finger off. I'd imagine the poor kitten would have the equivalent of a hand grenade strapped to it.

    Mindhunter aside but when children start torturing animals for their own amusement/pleasure this is a sign of something that needs treatment and I mean intense treatment.

    Girls can be more cruel. I knew a girl (aged 14) who threw their pet dog from the

    kitchen table to the ground in anger. The dog broke its back and had to be put

    down.

    We can give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are in a roundabout way expressing regret at the number of cats and kittens who suffer lingering deaths in this country every day due to neglect.

    On the other hand......

    oh I find it difficult to even read stories like this. I just can't abide any cruelty to helpless animals. I have a cat myself and I keep him in at Halloween for this exact reason, though it's disgusting that people do this. I definitely think there should be much harsher sentences for people who are cruel to animals, some people just don't seem to care because they aren't human but they suffer the same pain, the same fear. You can see this especially with neglected and abused animals who have been rehomed, they often display aggressive, odd or anxious behaviours due to the abuse they have suffered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,922 ✭✭✭✭Discodog


    The Guards will do nothing. The DSPCA may try to investigate but can't prosecute.

    Remember the foal in Galway, stoned to death by a group of kids. No one prosecuted despite lots of evidence. The Guards said that the GSPCA were dealing with it & the GSPCA said it was a matter for the Guards.

    This is a crime but not on the list that the Guards deal with. Too busy checking tax discs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    Disgusting! Cruelty in any form is reprehensible: whether it's to an animal, child or vulnerable adult.
    Hope these scrotes are tracked down and punished. Sorry that little girl had to see it, OP.

    So a bit like Minority Report? Punish them before they commit a crime. Can't say it makes sense unless you have access to a genuine phsyic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW

    Cruelty to animals for the sole purpose of fun/pleasure is deeply worrying and can indicate that this person is capable of a lot more pain and misery. In other words: psychopaths are known for killing animals as children for these reasons.

    Long shot here. But I'll hazard a guess that those young gentlemen (and/or young ladies) didn't lick it off a stone
