http://www.yousignanimals.org/Remove-this-kitten-from-its-Pennsylvania-owner-t-1427At this point, it does not even really matter if it was a joke or not. This is animal abuse. Authorities need to check on the kitten and have it removed as soon as possible if any misconducts occurred.

Sometimes shame is a really good thing.

(22,767 posts)I consider social media a warning system of people to avoid. I've seen some people, who appear to be presumably otherwise fine on the surface of things, post some of the meanest and most asinine things just because they can. Social media and the internet seems to have given so many license to exhibit some of their most socially unacceptable behaviors, which is a good thing for the rest of us.

(792 posts)Mine is that this person is a psycho and ought to be ashamed of herself.
Illegal? Probably not but it's in no way acceptable and she deserves to be called on it and for her friends and family to be ashamed of her.
No big deal? Wrong.

(23,630 posts)I can't tell how old she is, my guess is anywhere from 10 to 18. The fact she has access to a handgun to frivolously torture an animal is sickening and frightening. If she has a younger sibling would she think that was funny too?
By the way I got a 404 error with the link.

Do you know whether this person is a minor, and if so, whether it is appropriate to post their name and picture as part of a 'call to action'.
"At this point, it does not even really matter if it was a joke or not."
It matters quite a bit. Unless the cat is consciously aware of what a gun is and does, then I do not understand how pointing a gun at a cat is "abusive" to the cat, who is unlikely to perceive any threat or imminent harm. I see that the classic National Lampoon cover has already been posted in this thread, so I won't bother with that one. If that happens to be real gun, then I assume authorities should look for the girl who shot her own shoulder.
If she is a minor, then perhaps she might be encouraged to simply take the cat to the nearest collection receptacle:

(62,444 posts)Needless to say, there is likely no shortage of internet creepazoids harassing her in the usual manner these things go whenever a young woman attracts attention of any sort on the internet.
Quite possibly, the site where it was posted has exercised better judgment than you have in keeping this post active here.
