The problem is with the label "animal cruelty". Use of any weapon against an animals is something beyond that. It isn't ever right to call this felony animal cruelty.

@@Nonomurd regretfully it CAN get seriously expensive. Most people just cant justify big time expenditures. My 15 year old tabby Theodore required emergency PU surgery {urinary blockage, due to age and metabolic problems, not like Tater Tot, who was injured by the pellet} which involved ....putting cat under. ....catharizing the bladder from an opening on his side to drain it during surgery. ....removing the penis. Creating a stoma, or a small opening under his anus. {His scrotum and testes were removed years ago during neutering but if they hadnt they have done that too} ....opening up the abdomen and exposing the ureter, and rethreading it backwards to meet up with the stoma, in effect, creating a female urinary tract, so he pees out the back like a female. ....sewing him up and letting him heal. Why was all this necessary? the male cat ureter threads through the penis {like all mammals} and is considerably narrower than the females....when medical issues arise and the cat developes chronic issues with infections, crystals, inflammation, etc the ureter gets blocked, the cat cant pee and dies an agonizingly slow death from a uremic poisoning and or a burst bladder. Teddys surgery was a huge success, he is 18 years old now, still frisky and loving life. He has, in effect, had a sex change, so I have a tranny cat!!! ....and he wears a rainbow collar. The surgery by the way....was.......ready????? drumroll.....ta dada dada dada.............................$10,000!!!!!! And those dental veneers I was going to get to make my smile all new and brilliant??? well, ain't gonna happen. But it ok, doesnt matter....cause without him, I wouldnt be smiling anyway.

[@Terri_MacKay]

@@bajsapa3892 "We can judge the heart of a man by the way his treatment of animals." - Immanuel Kant "Manning up" doesn't mean being a heartless piece of shit. "Manning up" actually involves stepping in and caring about/helping those who are weaker, more vulnerable, and less able to defend themselves, than you...whether they have 2 legs or 4. I'm an empathetic, caring, compassionate person, so, yes, this was heartbreaking to see. I'm involved in animal rescue (mostly cats) and have had to witness, time and time again, the tortuous horrors that human monsters are capable of inflicting on innocent, defenseless animals. And I do "man up"...regardless of how heartbreaking it is to see animals in pain and fear, I do everything I can to help them. I could turn away and not get involved because it's too hard for me, but it's not about me. It's about the animals who need help...who need medical care, who need to feel safe and loved...and I "man up" every time, pushing through my heartache to help the animal who needs me in that moment. What do you do? Besides make ignorant YT comments? How many animals in need have you helped? How many animals in need have you walked past?
