Ah, I wish I had been lucky enough to be scum.
I'd make such great scum...

IMO, the whole thing was overexaggerated. She just put a cat in a bin. Cats are survivalists, they'll get out and live. It's not like she threw them in a river or kicked its head. I know a kid who cut the balls off a cat and made it run around panicking and bleeding. That's animal cruelty.

It's also nothing compared to DF, where the cats would not only be put in a bin, but they'd be drowned slowly in magma or skinned and eaten.

You know we could really use the ability to store cats in bins...

Well.... bins are like cages... except without the oxygen holes.  But I'm sure a hole or 2 could be punched in...

No, no they won't. They can't get in a position to open the lid, and many cats wouldn't have the strength to. If nobody had heard it when they did (and they only heard it after 15 hours) it would have died. Just because there are worse acts of animal cruelty out there doesn't mean this wasn't deplorable.

She's forever known over here as the evil cat lady. that is basically punishment enough in itself.

On the left a cannon which shoots dwarf children into the sun, on the right, a massive pit full of magma charred dwarfs and elves.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?
