I am sorry, but the only cruelty is that so much money, time, and energy was spent on one of countless millions of abandoned kittens when there are plenty of people that can't even afford healthcare.
Animals eat each other, it doesn't look pretty, but they also aren't humans. Drop the extra cats and dogs off at the zoo and let some of the carnivores release some of their wild instinct "tension". Lions and tigers are not meant to eat dry pellets.
2 problems - 1 stone.
By the way, I love animals and grew up with them around me. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere. Besides, animals do NOT want to live forever, that's a human thing. When our older animals were in pain my Dad would put them down because it was the KIND thing to do.
My wife and I have put down perhaps five or six infirm or dying animals. We neither decry nor fear death for pets. The purpose of putting an animal down is to prevent pain and suffering.
If you do NOT feel that "playing football" with a newborn kitten to the extent of destroying its leg is unnecessarily cruel, then I guess we have different standards in that regard.
Horribly sorry, bad wording. That was not meant to come out like it did.
The first instance was true cruelty on the part of people responsible. The second instance I referred to was the greater cruelty against humanity. One guy spent 6 figures for 2 separate cancer treatments to treat his $6 goose. These kinds of stories are everywhere.
