maybe, i dont even read it myself, but if it draws attention to the issue of animal cruelty and makes more people aware, even prompts someone to prevent a cruel act or report someone for commiting an offence then its worth while whatever the reason behind it.

That's awful The poor cat. How could anyone do that

I did hear about this on my local news, it is just disgusting that someone could do such a thing. I really hope they catch the thugs.
