why people do these things I really don't know.
I suppose in the larger schema of things it is a minor tragedy but not for those close by.

Rollo, such a disgusting, cruel and despicable act, I believe.

Absolutely despicable behaviour No normal person will ever understand it. The poor owners I feel so sorry for them and the poor cat too of course.

I expect they would claim it’s their human rights to torture animals. Animals themselves!

I wouldn't give them the honour of referring to them as animals, no animal treat any other animal in such a manner.

Didn't you recently have a case where a guy was going round decapitating cats, in Brighton wasn't it.

There's no accounting for why people do such horrible things, whether that be a teenager or an older man. Something is wrong with their thinking.

Cats have always come off badly where there are packs of hounds and the heartless individuals who ride to them.

I can remember a member of these boards who purports to be a cat lover telling us about the special tweed jacket he wears for hunting.

It would be the New Forest Hunt I believe.
