Smokey the cat shot 13 times in head, walks home

MELBOURNE (AFP) - – An Australian cat named Smokey survived 13 shots to the head from an air rifle and then found his way home after what police on Tuesday called a "shocking" act of animal cruelty.The nine-year-old moggy turned up on his owners' doorstep bleeding from his head last week, three days after he went missing from the family home in Maryborough, central Victoria. A medical examination revealed 13 pellets lodged in his head and face. Sergeant Craig Pearse said it was remarkable Smokey had managed to get home after his ordeal. "This is just a shocking incident where someone either working alone or in a group has shown no regard for animal life and left Smokey for dead," Pearse said.
The distressed feline had to be heavily sedated while 11 of the pellets were removed, he said, adding that Smokey was expected to recover. Animal welfare advocate Hugh Wirth said the incident was "utterly disgraceful", and that Smokey's tormentors deserved jail.

How can anyone be so cruel, to shoot an innocent cat to the head for 13 times with an air rifle? Why go to the extent of shooting it with an air rifle? What a senseless barbaric act. Hello? We are no longer living in the stoneage century, we dont hunt animals down for survival anymore. For fuck's sake, attend some proper rifle-shooting course or something and not practise your shooting and accuracy skills on an innocent living thing, asshole.

On a lighter note, i chatted with HuiHui just now about some girl issues that i have been doubts about. I've been checking out the net for advice too. It is really nice to chat openly with a girlfriend about anything at all especially personal issues that concerns us, the Venuses. Sometimes being a lady, we have a hell load of doubts, thoughts and fears that are left unanswered.
