Guy gets dog to kill cat? WTF is wrong with some people?
Discussion
He's very unlikely to get prison for the attack (maybe a suspended sentence though), although given the police already have a mugshot of him I suspect he's wanted for other things too, and/or is on probation or similar.

On a minor point however "cat killing bird" is just natural (as opposed to man made like the others)
Cats are (generally) not native to the UK though.Edited by Gareth79 on Monday 11th November 17:49

I’m sure the majority of cat lovers don’t give a second thought to the suffering their well fed cat inflicts on the wildlife in not only their garden but that of the surrounding neighbours, maiming whatever it can catch and then playing with it until it gets bored and wanders off.
I don’t agree for one moment with what the moron in the OP did, he deserves everything he gets, just pointing out the inconsistency of some posts here.
You're completely missing the point here, it's the human element that is outrageous, no point in conflating that with animal behaviour in general.I don’t agree for one moment with what the moron in the OP did, he deserves everything he gets, just pointing out the inconsistency of some posts here.
I've got an RSPCA rescue cat. He's around 4 years old & I've had him for 2.5 years. Only recently he's learnt how to purr, & vary occasionally he plucks up the courage to sit on my knee. I sometimes wonder just how fking badly he was mistreated by some utter to make him that traumatised. People who torture animals are nothing short of fking scum. If karma really does exist, the dog owner in the OP's link will have a totally st afterlife. I really really hope something catastrophically unpleasant happens to him. .

For the sake of balance, neither are dogs (or, for that matter, gerbils, hamsters, parrots, budgies, goldfish, etc, etc). Digga said:

As you say, the majority of cat lovers have no idea the impact their pet has on wildlife.I don’t agree for one moment with what the moron in the OP did, he deserves everything he gets, just pointing out the inconsistency of some posts here.
My garden used to have a large variety of wildlife including ground feeding birds and lizards such as slow worms and the common lizard. Toads too. Since a neighbour decided to make an Xmas gift of two farm kittens the wildlife count is near zero. No longer the green woodpecker, blackbird, thrush will visit our garden or nest, and the hedge sparrows, siskins, tits, and robin are constantly being attacked as I witnessed recently as one was snatched from the bird table by said farm 'kitten' now a full grown cat.
If my dog did this amount of damage to wildlife I'm sure there would be outrage, and rightly so, but pussy cats are immune, apparently, from any sanction.

I believe that is equivalent to some arse who trains his dog to attack cats.

Nope, the end result is still the same. You clearly wish to defend the cats natural tendency to hunt, whatever devastation it causes to wildlife in their hunting ground, and despite my wish that wildlife are unmolested on my property, you are happy to allow it.

Cat behaviour is instinctive. Human behaviour is considerative. You can't accurately compare someone who makes a conscious decision to encourage their dog to kill a cat to satisfy their own sadistic desires with a cat which is hard-wired to behave in a certain way when confronted with specific stimuli.I believe that is equivalent to some arse who trains his dog to attack cats.

Killing cats by training a dog or by any other method is, of course, abhorrent too. How do we stop domestic cats from decimating wildlife is the question that is yet to be addressed and whilst we continue to excuse this by saying that cat behaviour is instinctive doesn't wash, IMHO, otherwise one could argue that the wolf (now conditioned to be a domestic dog) killing whatever it can catch, whether trained or not, is also instinctive.
