About 15 years ago 2 teenaged boys were shooting off shot guns out in the street near our previous home. When the police arrived and took the boys home so they could tell the parents they were arresting the teenagers, they noticed an odd odor and asked if there were any other weapons in the house. The parents said yes and let the officers enter the home. In the attached garage, they found stacked from floor to ceiling, animal pelts. Later many of us in the subdivision were allowed to identify our missing pets' coats. The boys were trapping and skinning our pets. During the hearings another neighbor came forward to say he'd witnessed these boys hanging and burning alive cats in an empty house near our place. Their last victim was my dear boy, William. The man didn't report what he'd seen because he was terrified of those two boys. I wanted to torture and kill them. Since those horrible times, I've never allowed another animal companion out of doors and I never will again. The parents asked that the boys be observed and shown mentally unbalanced, to please not let them go free because they feared for their lives. I moved as soon as I could. Serial killers are being made right under our very noses. Not all of them are as obvious as these two boys were...

I would love to know who did this kind of crap to a animal I would not call the cop for the money not until I got my time with them. I would beat the crap out of them. Or maybe give tham a does of there own medicine not kill them but make them wish they were. I'm a Grandmother but animal abuse I do not except in any form or child or people. But for kids like this needs the crap beat out of them and sent to boot camp for about a year.Thanks Linda noted

COMMENT ON TONI MEDFORDS POST:
Lets not forget we cant blame only the kids for this, yes it is their fault and yes they are EVIL but we have to blame the parents as well....no body can tell me thats these kids killed and skinned so many animals ans that the parents knew nothing about it, sure they knew but they are just as evil and as ignorant as their kids and have no respect for anyones life. If i were a judge i would take the kids away from the parents (since obviously they dont know how to raise them right) and put the kids and the parents in jail for a long long time.

To Toni, so sorry that your William had to be those little monsters last victim. I hope they got the punishment that they deserved! I hope that they catch the one's who did this to these poor animals also! If not, am sure it won't be long before we hear that they have been arrested for murdering humans. This animal abuse has got to be stopped now and much stricter punishment has to be dealt than what is in most all cases!!! Thanks Linda. Angrily noted.
