You said you find it disgusting that people are reacting in this way.

My comment bears complete relevance to what you said, so much relevance in fact that I'm lead to believe you are being argumentative for argument's sake. Either that or you are stupid but I'm feeling generous tonight.

EDIT

I've just reread your post prior to the one I initially replied to and I find your refuge behind pedantry baleful. Go to bed Niles and reflect upon the ignominy of pedantic cowering.
So i lack enough empathy for the cat/owners because i find the knuckle dragging, pitch fork wielding, knee-jerk, over the top reactions and comparison with human affairs very interesting/weird/worrying/disgusting? Interesting logic.

Hardly pedantry. I make a comment referring specifically to a certain section of people, in order not to tar all with the same brush and cause offence. You ignore my concious effort in what seems to be a rather overzealous moment, by arguing anything which isn't full of "Awww" or "How awful!" etc. Your suggestion that i lack empathy because i don't like some of the reactions speaks volumes.
