Cat Swinger Identified.

[User482]

That they were on CCTV means it can be visualised and that (very likely after public outrage) they'll get caught. This is the third such recent example I can think of - the wheelie bin cat, the MP's cat stolen (sadly never to be seen again) and now this.

It's not that it is the worst case ever (far from it), just that they have got caught. Cats get their heads smashed in with boots, shot at, mutilated every month around the country, it's just that the perpetrators rarely get caught. People have these things happen much more regularly.

Yes, but I imagine that acts of violence against other people are regularly captured on CCTV. I guess it's a general point that we as a nation seem to be less exercised by it. The pattern extends to charitable donations: those made to animal welfare charities comfortably exceed those made to the disabled or homeless.

It does perplex me a bit as well, I don't care for cats and wouldn't intentionally harm one, but nor would I get too excited over someone that did. People bully, harm, torture, maim and kill other people all the time, why is it so surprising that some will do the same sort of thing to an animal?

'whose mother died over a year ago' - what on earth has that to do with anything.
