Ooh, if only I'd been there- they'd have quickly followed it.

For some reason, this has actually really got to me.

And I would have filmed it for you.

Maybe if someone threw their pet - or better still, maybe one of their relatives - off the balcony and recorded it, then they'd have a bit more respect for life.

Don't worry though, I'm sure they'll get a slap on the wrist for it :o(

this is sadly just a pointer to the direction being taken by those who provide a ready market for "prank tv" such as Jackass. Eventually their stunts aren't funny any more so the boundaries of taste & legality get pushed further and further in the name of entertainment. Today your cat. Tomorrow, maybe your child?

But did it land on its feet? An excellent opportunity to confirm or debunk a long-standing "myth" and they don't tell us!

sick b**tards....i'd love to throw them off the balcony

A man out walking his dog found a box on the railway line close to our house - inside it were four 2 week old kittens. Someone had thrown them there hoping that a speeding train would come along. I agree with you Fat Rascal, people like that are sick, they have no respect for anything.

i've just read that story twice cos i couldn't believe i read right the first time - they threw the poor thing off the balcony FOUR times!!!

what kind of upbringing do these people have when they do this kind of thing for fun!!! their parents are probably only horrified cos they got caught!!

the story says the cat was seen limping away...does anyone know what happened to the poor thing?

[jenstar]

I heard someone poured boiling water on some ants. Now THAT'S sick.

[Booldawg]

too much for words. i'd never get tired of hitting people like that. i hope they die soon.

One or more of them will probably graduate to serial killing. Don't laugh, animal cruelty in the formative years is a common feature in the personal histories of psychopathic killers.

I think they'll get the kicking of their lives if it makes you feel better Wardy, as I was in a garage on the outskirts of Birmingham yesterday very near to where they live and it was all the locals were talking about, apparently their names are well known locally despite the lack of them in press/TV coverage so I suspect they'll get theirs and a good job too sadistic monsters.

[Whickerman]

They're named in the report. If I was local...

[flashpig]

I've heard that some sadistic b******s round my way half fill milk bottles with orange juice and leave them outside. Wasps fly in, but they don't fly out. Drowned in the juice. I'd like to drown them in orange juice!
