That's some serial killer shit
Guys, we're going to have to apologize to Ted Cruz; I think we found the Zodiac Killer.
That's so fucked up. When I was young I was friends with this dysfunctional redneck family who had taken in this tiny black kitten for a couple of weeks and then ejected it from the home when they failed to properly litter train the thing. I remember it wandered outside in their swampy, semi-rural woods for a few days. Some time later I asked about the cat again, and was told the older brother had "shot it right in the heart with a 22 when he saw it come up the road".
Looking back on my many weekends spent with that family, I can't believe I agreed to keep going over there. But I was young, friends were scarce, and we could pretty much do whatever we wanted.
Eventually the family turned on me as well when I had apparently become the scapegoat any time my friend had gotten in trouble for doing something. The mom developed an inherent distaste for me and even the uncles and grandparents started treating me like shit for things I hadn't done or had little involvement in.
Glad nobody shot me in the heart.

What kind of literal monsters would be OK with cutting the paws off a cat or grinding the beak off a chicken?
NRA members who have daily murder fantasies involving humans?
This fills me with such a rage that I cannot express myself. Cats failing to use a litter box is generally because the box is either not kept clean enough or that cat has a medical issue such as a urinary tract infection. The cat was asking for help in the only way it knew how and they did that to it.
I think anyone who does this to a cat deserves to be killed painfully and slowly.
Then filmed it as a campaign ad to win as a republican congressman in Alabama.
I mean, probably.
