I’d like five minutes with these wastes of oxygen. Just five. I think that’s all the time I could manage, without feeling the need to scrub my skin with Dettol.
I know of several bare, treeless, windswept islands in high latitudes where such creatures could humanely be left to seek their own destiny. No need to soil yourself by physically trying to educate them; pointless anyway.
I will admit immediately that I am not a pet lover .. and I dislike domestic cats in particular, for the damage which they inflict on the wild bird population .. but that's a wholly different debate ..
That said .. the behaviour of these cretins sickens me and I would also welcome a few minutes of undisturbed "face-to-face" with them too ..
And I'm not bothered whether I get my hands or my boots dirty ..
It would take a lot longer than ten minutes. After that time I'd only just have started laying the knives out. I reckon a proper flaying could be drawn out for, oh, several days?
Is it just me who is repulsed by the enthusiasm expressed for torturing these yobs? I think I prefer cruel, aimless, mindless yahoos to bloodthirsty vigilantes. Most youths grow out of it.
And once you'd finished with them, I can think of a few larger members of the cat family I wouldn't mind introducing them to. There's a jaguar at Dartmoor Zoo who I think would have particular fun.
"How do we identify such, and what do we do with them?"
When they grow up, some of them will get their kicks by joining lynch mobs, or becoming vigilantes. Or just dreaming about it, and commenting in blogs? :-)

What fun one could have with an oxycetelyne cutter and ten minutes with one of these bastards in some abandoned warehouse.

ReplyDelete'Is it just me who is repulsed by the enthusiasm expressed for torturing these yobs?'
ReplyDeleteYes, Zaphod old mate. I think it is.
Thanks Greencoat, I've never had such an amiable put-down!

ReplyDelete"Is it just me who is repulsed by the enthusiasm expressed for torturing these yobs? "
ReplyDeleteI think Greencoat answered that! :)
" Most youths grow out of it."
No doubt. It might just be that once caught, they will be genuinely contrite, not a lawyers trick. They might - just - be salvageable.
But there will be some for whom the grief of the little girl is, shall we say, even better than their delight in the kill.
How do we identify such, and what do we do with them? Because we can't let the,m roam free, can we?

What do you do with any dangerous rabid dog?
