A TERRIFIED cat died after suffering terrible burns when thugs strapped a firework to her back and set it alight. The moggy was discovered horrifically injured more than a week after the callous yobs struck.

Sadly this is one of the reasons I favour fireworks being only available to professionals for organised displays the season in the UK starts with Halloween acceerates throght November the fifth, bonfire night and continues in fits and starts to new year. Ambulance and fire crews dread this time of year and animals are not only distressed by the noise there are unfortunatly always the mentally retard rejects from the human race that think it fun to stick firework in letterboxes, throw them at animals, people and passing traffic. Casualty departments are kept busy with burns victims ousting the usual drunks! There use should be controlled far more rigorously as the death toll from accidents continues with out the deliberate anti social and cruel acts that mindless yobs perpetrate on animals, humans and property. If these yobs are caght they should be made to experience the realities of their actions in a trauma unit dealing with burns and perhaps when they have smelt burnt human flesh and clean up in that sort of environment they might see how mind blowing ly foolish as well as cruel their action were! I bet they would not last more than a few minutes if that before they were running to puke in the mens room! Either that or volunteer them to be suurogate bulls in the Spanish fire bull events and no prizes for guessing which bit they would have blazing pitch attached to! Might even get the priest to bless them only leaving out the Holy Water!

People who would do this to a cat or dog, would have no problem doing it to people, imo.

What in the hell do people think sometimes?? This is SICK & CRUEL. WHY would anybody do this to ANY ANIMAL? I'm beyond pissed & sick at the same time. If I knew this person, I would go strap a damn firework to their know what & let them see how it feels. I'm sorry, but this really burns me. I pray they pay for this.

At the animal shelter near me we've had a dog who had a cracker stuffed into its anus and lit....

May all these sadists get whats coming to them. The mills of God grind slowly, but exceedingly fine.

Poor PUSS. Fireworks are unattainable in most parts of Australia & have been for many years.

Oh dear Lord I just can not believe that this would be on someone’s daily agenda. This just sickens me so. They will get theirs whether they think they will or not!!!!!
I am so heartbroken for this horrible portrayal of someone sick thought of enjoyment.
Bless this baby’s heart. A prayer goes out for our furry friend…

Whom ever did this, I hope does get caught! And if they don't get caught, this disgusting atrocity will follow them to their grave. The word for people like these is "Cowards!" This poor cat, oh my goodness, I am so angry right now. And I am so sad for this poor cat.
