Cruelty

Yesterday, I saw a fat, balding man with a catapult at the void deck of a HDB block. He was shooting at a cat with a catapult. I was appalled.

true story:

i was walking home from work one day and was at the lift at my void deck, when i saw this old man beating and cursing this poor defenceless cat in front of his shop. i went up to him, stopped him and asked him why he was beating up that cat.

he said that the cat was a nuisance to him cause the cat kept bugging him at his shop.

you know what i did? i grabbed his roll of newspaper and hit him multiple times. and i told him that i find him to be a nuisance to me.

if i was the one who saw that man shooting that cat with a catapult, i would have done to him exactly what he did to that cat.

ugh! i cant stand animal cruelty.

oh to be a defenseless creature at the hands of such monsters. It breaks my heart. Good for you Finah! I wish more people would take action against such cruelty. In the States we can report such matters to the Animal Police. I wish it was the same everywhere else.

I saw a hand and a catapult behind a pillar. Suddenly, a paper pellet or something shot out and the cat ran off. When I reached the pillar, I saw a fat, balding man in singlet, slippers and shorts shuffling off at a distance.

Horrid person. I don't doubt that there are many cruel people around. I mean look at the number of cases of people who mistreat their maids and the means they use in punishing them. Scalding in hot water, beatings, slapping. It's simply unbelievable.

Finah, V, I can understand what you're saying.

And the sadism involved... the inhumanity. I wonder sometimes.
