15 year old arrested for setting fire to Manchester animal shelter

Got up this morning and saw something odd in the pool.
We get a lot of leaves blown in, but this leaf moved.. took a breath and then rested it's head under water again.... I beamed out the back door, whipped up the pool net and fished it out... a baby mole, about 4 inches long.
Plonked him in the garden .. and he disappeared after having a rest - I felt good after that.

Nice one, vanjast...

My old VW Beetle had just been in for a repair once years back, and the guy who took it out for a test with me suddenly stopped, jumped out and ran round to the front, where he bent down to pick up a small toad (I hadn't even seen it) and placed it carefully in the grass...

Today I read in the papers that 6 boys (ages 8 to 14) in Vienna lured in boar piglets to torture and kill them (one beaten to death, one strangled). The statement from one of the older perps was that they felt happiness doing it.

Isn't that how a good portion of serial killers start out, killing animals for fun?

That kid ought to be horsewhipped. One lash for every dollar donated.
Flaming little b*****d.

If it is a repeated 'offense' then definitely ..yes.
It might be the 'first time', and if the gravity is not explained to the youth in the most determined way... they may never learn.

Which also begs a question about the parents... and their children's 'life' education. There are so many stoopid irresponsible parents out there ??

Thanks for caring. That's all that we need is for people to give a crap.

Maybe they should just give this 15 year old an ASBO and release him..... after publishing his name, photograph, and address of course.

Perhaps some well meaning citizens could visit him for a good ol fashioned talk. Might just what this person needs.
