      There’s something specific about cruelty towards animals that makes me feel particularly unreasonable regarding “proportional” punishment.

      Cruelty to animals is a precursor psychopathy, these girls are disturbed and need to be held accountable for the horrific cruelty they’ve enacted.

      Eeesh, that’s awful. The kids who were responsible should go into some sort of list – as well as facing punishment for what they’ve done. That’s fucked up, and I’m sure they’ll do something equally nasty if not worse in the future. Poor hedgehog. I can’t stand the thought of thisCruelly against animals needs tougher sentencing, it’s senseless and psychopathic behaviour. I know an eye for an eye would make the world blind, but for a poor defenceless creature like this, it does make me question that.

      Absolute scum

      I can’t imagine being cruel to a poor animal like that. Like how can someone see a hedgehog and their first idea is to torture it.

      Other day I picked up a bumblebee who was obviously exhausted from the middle of the road and placed him in some flowers. I genuinely DO NOT understand how people can harm animals. Like I struggle to harm flies for gosh sake.

      Treatment of animals says EVERYTHING about a person.

      Sick. Just sick. I’ll never understand the mentality of people who do this, especially children. What does it take to just NOT be cruel?

      I’ve been a teacher for nearly 15 years, and in all that time, I’ve only ever really lost my temper once, and that was when some boys were throwing stones at a cat on the school field. They had the poor thing cornered after chasing it and pulling its tail and I screamed at them so hard, I nearly ruptured my vocal cords. Not idea behaviour management, I know, but it was during my training year and that poor cat was bloody terrified.

      All animals deserve unconditional love and protection. Except insects, fuck those guys. If an ant or fly or something is in my house then I’m on the warpath.

      Killing small animals and inflicting unnecessary pain and suffering. The early signature of serial killers everywhere.

      This is already heartbreaking, but reading the line about the hedgehog being out during the day because it was already likely feeling unwell is so sad.

      How can anyone look at another living thing, especially a defenceless small animal, and think of harming it? What is wrong with people? They are wired fucking wrong.

      You have to wonder about these kids’ parents. What is going on that they don’t have the time to notice that little Failyn, La’trasha and Tragedeigh are already a fair way along on the path to psychopathy? Put down your phones and take some responsibility for dealing with the vermin that your loins are responsible for.

      Doing something so cruel and violent to something that can’t fight back, defend or complain shows just how despicable and scum of a human you are.

      So yea, these girls in this case need to be monitored and hopefully punished enough to never think of doing this again.

      God as a child of about 4/5 me and my friends of similar age would hold a spy glass over ants on hot sunny days.

      Our mums belted us across the arse for it.
      (I don’t condone hitting children)
      To this day I feel so ashamed of me as a child hurting a poor insect.
      To do this is unfathomable to me.
      We have kids here firing slate and bricks at the swans and their young. In the end they had to be rescued.
      Its sickening. The complete apathy outside of themselves, their wants and needs. Its oddly terrifying.

      Mates from up North always used to talk ill of “Skem” as they called it.

      One of them if the Predator ever went there it would get headbutted and laid out.

      Classic skem eds 

      But what disgusting behaviour. Hedgehogs are absolute legends. 

    21. Cool-Prior-5512 on

      Shit like this makes me so thankful I was raised the way I was.

      The “neighbours” where I grew up had a herd of deer in their garden that would pop into my parents’ garden from time to time. We also had rabbits, hedgehogs, squirrels, pheasants, guineafowl and foxes and I was raised to watch them all and be amazed by them.

      One of my core memories was when I was about 10 and a shrew had made its home in the wall of our living room and would regularly find a way in and my dad started leaving breakfast out for it in a plastic bottle lid, like a little bowl. So I would be eating my breakfast before school and a few feet away from me, this vole was eating his.

      ITT: “kicking animals is terrible, it should be hidden behind abattoir walls where the animal abuse I pay for takes place”

      Needs to be a register for people who do this stuff, so they can be closely monitored and even more so if they ever have kids. Pure evil.

    24. Jackie_Gan on

      Anyone who does this needs a custodial sentence. It’s an absolute red flag for future issues
