Bad parenting I suppose, when I was very very very young I remember having the opportunity to shoot an animal with a BB Gun.. and I thought to myself.. Gosh only a sick son of a bitch would do something like that...

It must be the parenting!

I don't get how young kids hurt animals.. a lot of children do.

I once saw a boy, he was maybe 12/13 throwing stones at a cygnet. I went to him and punched im in his fucking face. I throw a stone at him after and asked if he liked that. I'd fucking kill someone who kill a cat with an air rifle.

You know, I'd feel a lot more pity if this was a dog, but I am very very much against cats being let outside of the house. You know why? Because cats go out murdering other animals 24/7 out of "instinct" and rarely even eat the animals they kill. They just do it for "fun." Strange how people condemn this imaginary kid for shooting the cat with an air rifle, yet don't think for a second the cat could be out there killing all kinds of birds, turtles, mice, etc.

There are serious issues with stray cat populations booming out of control and wiping out the local wildlife. It might look like a domestic little pussycat to you, but that little kitten becomes a savage motherfucker when it gets out of the house.

None of you have any clue why the cat was shot. I can think of several good reasons for why someone would want to drive a cat away from their property. You cannot let a cat run wild outside of the house and expect it to be okay. People have the right to shoot a cat, which is a ruthless killer, if it goes on their property. I say this as someone who has lost HIS pets to stray cats before and have been really damn steamed about it. I've also been a cat owner before but new a lot better than to go, "Oops! Lost track of little buddy! Hope he comes back safe!"

As a veterinarian, I'm sure the OP has seen numerous cases of other pets coming in with wounds from a cat attack. Or at least know the dangers of a stray cat as a carrier for disease. It's incredible to me that he would have this righteous anger about it as if anyone who dared to shoot the cat is some twisted psychopath sadist. While it could be a kid trying out his aim, it could also be someone who knows what cats can do when they're not under watch. I doubt people would freak out this badly if this was a story about a coyote being shot by a rancher. And the coyote would actually be killing other animals for his survival. Quite often, a housecat kills something and leaves it in the owner's tree. Sorry, but it's hard for me to get as lathered up in rage as some of the people here. Kitty is not as innocent and harmless as cat lovers would like to think.

I don't understand how the OP who is a vet can say that letting a cat run wild outdoors is an okay thing to do.
