Someone shot my cat this afternoon. Not with a BB gun, but with a 22, right in my own yard. They blew his eye right out of his head. My wife called me at work in hysterics talking about a bloody trail leading from our front yard to under our porch. We had to rip the steps off of the porch to get him out and he's covered in blood with his left eye dangling outside his head. The vet called a while ago, and he's going to live, but what is left of the eye will have to go. They thought he might have been hit by a car so they took x-rays before sugury and that's when they found the bullet sitting in the back of his eye socket.

What the hell do I tell my kids? He lost his eye when some son of a bitch decided to have some fun and shot him? I'm afraid to let my kids go outside to play now. A half dozen of the houses on our street have little kids, and now there's some jackass who's Friday afternoon fun is taking potshots at pets in people's yards? What kind of sick bastard would do this?

One of the neighboors cats comes and sits in my house. I pet her, and scratch her ears. I would never think of hurting her.

I personally think there should be very strict punishments for people like this. Not to mention shooting a gun in a popluated area.

There are stricked punishments for this kind of thing and I hope they catch the son of a bitch and give him everything they can.

A few years ago in Toronto, someone shot a hunting arrow through a dog's head. Not one of those target arrows you'd use in camp, it was a full broadhead arrow that you'd use to hunt deer with. Went right through the dog's head and ended up with the arrow shaft sticking out on both sides. Sick shit happens, not too long ago a couple people here got arrested for making a "kitty snuff video". They'd gotten their hands on some cats and violently tortured them to death while filming the whole thing, claiming that it was some kind of protest.

It was all over the news, the reward got pretty high, I don't remember what the bastards got, but it was a over a year in jail. Here in Texas we don't take that kind of shit.

I dont think they are strict enough. Even here in California people like this usually get a fine and like 6 months in jail.

Tje gun isn't the problem. It's the sick fuck using it. They should find him and remove his eyes with a power drill. An eye for an eye seems particularly apt in this case.
