    The sicko played with the kitten, dressed it up and not only watched the innocent kitten being crushed alive and eaten but also recorded it and uploaded the video online! Now if that is not sadistic, tell me what is.
    .

    It all down to perception and what was going through the guy/girls head.

    there are many vids on youtube of animals eating other animals.

    Some people believe its sadistic/cruel from the point of view it was a kitten.

    I believe it was sadistic from the point of view of the xmas hat, and coupled with the fact he uploaded the vid. However thats my perception.

    ill bow out of this argument....as it all down too opinion.

    I think the reason people think its cruel/sadistic being a kitten is because they are not bred to be fed as livestock, they are bred to be pets.

    I would also find it wrong and sadistic if it was a mouse, rat or bunny. I don't like mice or rats because I'm terrified of them but I am also not a great lover of cats (I'm a dog lover) that doesnt mean to say I would harm one or put ones life in danger or like to watch one being eaten alive, I would still find it upsetting.

    Fair enough if the snake found its prey in the wild but giving the snake livestock whether it is a mouse, rat, bunny or kitten is all wrong in my eyes.

    I can't even look at the photos, so upsetting, makes my blood boil.:mad:
    It also give us snake keepers a bad name. Most UK owners would NEVER live feed, it is too dangerous for the snake, and cruel for the feed, and there is no need for it.
    I couldn't watch other videos of snakes live feeding mice/rats/rabbits, this is not just the fact it is a kitten (although it does seem to make it worse)
    This person is totally sick, hope he gets what's coming to him
  • its sick but im struggling to see any logical difference in what he did and what thousands of other people do in feeding live prey to their pets. locusts/crickets/mice etc - theyre still living animals but you dont see people getting so upset and het up about that going on. its double standards and i for one find it disgraceful.

  • a cat is a domesticated animal, thats why its illegal to feed it to a snake.
    its also the fact that it was needless, especially to film it, and post it on the net.
    it was sadistic sick cruelty and thats it.
    the same scum bag has also put up a video of himself drowning a kitten in the bath.

    That's disgusting, I don't know how he can live with himself. Are these video's posted on his YouTube account? I thought they would have been taken off.

    I done a quick Google search.. the sicko has been identified but the hunt to catch him is still on.

    I've found a Facebook Page created in his name with a lot of photo's and status updates that go back as far as 2009! The page states he's from/lives in Los Angeles. What I find odd is that this has been going on for over 2 year and it has took until now to hunt him down.

    I think it is the same person as there are photos of him with the two kittens that are in the video.

    He goes by a few different names and has a different locations on all of the websites he uses so it could be the same person.

    I couldnt read all this, Im so sickened by all the sadistic behaviour we keep hearing about - and oh god, I darent think of those animals we dont know about - it seems to me its a sign of the times, that life has little value any more - we have gone so far away from the moral limitations which were once upheld that people actually find pleasure and can laugh at sick things like cruelty to animals and people.

    I was reading recently about Ian Bothams son's girlfriend, who is apparently a bit of a deb - her dog had gone missing and I felt quite sorry for her until I read that her "work" is organising adult sex parties under a company called "Killing Kittens". How the f*** can anyone call a company that. Is it acceptable now to a lot of people to maim or take the life of creatures.

    We may have all laughed at Mary Whitehouse (those of us young at that time) when she told us that morals were dropping so much that one day life would have no value - but she has been proven right. When kids beat up and even murder elderly or vulnerable people, often filming it on their phones and do the same to innocent animals, well, what the hell is happening?

    God help us.
