# really sucks
the only justice would be for the dogs to attack the kids who let them hurt the cat.

# Poor thing...
...I used to get called names at school cos some people I knew took pleasure in shooting cats with air guns.

{edit} part of me wishes I hadn't read this now cos I have a tear in my eye. I'm a soft bloke really when it comes to cats. I cried for three straight days when mine died... I was 11 at the time like

# As i was walking up to my house this evening
I could see a mother pushing a pram with a wee baby in it and a friend/relative of hers walking alongside with a huge black rottweiller, as I got closer i realised it wasn't on a lead and wondered how safe that kid was if they ever leave the dog alone with it. The weirdest part was as I was walking from somewhere the (walking into a dark forest alone in a horror film) music started playing and getting louder as i got closer.
Thankfully i got to my steps just before we reached each other.

I really don't like dogs but have a soft spot for cats. This just reinforces those feelings.

# Not the dogs fault.
They're bred to kill stuff about the size of a cat. Dogs need proper discipline and good owners. And those kids were not that type. They should punish the owners, not the dogs.

# The owners are liable
for dogs as they are seen as possessions (?) - certainly cats are classed as free agents and are not expected to be under human control.
Which is probably a good thing. My cats aren't even under cat control. They are well stupid :)
