| 1,901 | 2:26 am PDT, Apr 16 | allyson seach | 21 | Female | Indiana | United States | they intentionally terrorized and tortured innocent and defenseless kittens. That proves there are some serious psychological issues within then, and to ignore that would be to encourage future torture of the innocent...including people. This has to stop...it is just as serious as hurting people because that is exactly why the torture of animals tends to lead to. | |

I am a teenager and I KNOW right from wrong I know that it is wrong to take away any life or to torture any creature and their age should not be an excuse nor should it impede the judge to give them a maximum sentence | |

| 1,866 | 1:07 pm PST, Nov 30 | Chipa Wolfe | 100 | Male | Georgia | United States | It makes perfect sense that kids are doing these things as society has and continues to teach our children and one another that it is alright to segregate the value of life. Sure, they deserve ultimate penalties for such sick behavior but let's not forget that we endorse it on other levels such as running over animals until they dissapear from the road as though they never existed or felt pain. Collectively we have practiced, taught and endorsed specie-ism to a degree that makes it easy for our kids to seperate themselves from right and wrong. Yep! we must share the blame as we hide behind religeon, politics and our supreme mumbo jumbo taht seperates us not only from creation but from Creator as well. |  |

To Avenge the Death of a Tortured Cat
To Honorable Mayor Gordon:
I am sending you this petition with all of these signatures regarding a recent case that was put in the Arizona Republic. It deals with 3 teenagers who were booked on an alleged Animal Cruelty Charge, which as you know is a class 6 felony charge.
I do not see the difficulty with this case as far as finding them guilty considering the arresting officer saw them driving down Arizona 51 with the cat trailing behind their car going 80 mph. This is absolutely atrocious. First off, these boys were high on marijuana which is bad enough but to go and find a cat to drag behind their car as a "fun gag" is absolutely ludicrous and criminal!! This was premeditated and they do not even have to try and put the blame on the marijuana because even though they smoked it, it will NOT cause anyone's judgment to swerve in this kind of psychotic manner and what they did is truly psychotic.
I, Mike Sexton, as well as all the undersigned, want to see and demand to see these 3 teenagers punished to the absolute fullest extent of the law as well as be made to undergo full psychiatric examination and treatment. There is absolutely NO way that anyone can justify this sort of activity or think these boys don't need psychiatric care because what they did is completely and utterly maniacal. Anyone who is willing to do this sort of murderous act will not take much longer to cause them to think they can do it to another animal or even a human being if their urge strikes.
I again Implore you Mayor Gordon to see these teenagers get the absolute maximum sentence as well as undergo full and complete psychiatric care. Such deeds as this cannot in any way, shape, or form be allowed to go with any punishment less severe than this.
Thank you,
Mike Sexton
