Boys Banned From Violent Videogames After Nuking Cat

Two Canadian teens who broke into a home, did $25,000 in damages and then microwaved a cat to death have avoided jail time, but are banned from playing violent videogames. According to the Edmonton Journal they're also on strict probation for the next year complete with 9:00 pm curfews and limited cellphone access. The boys must attend therapy sessions and serve 100 hours of community service as well as pay for the $500 deductible on the homeowners' insurance. They also can't own an animal for two years leaving one of their families in the position of having to give up a dog they bought for the boy's younger siblings just ten weeks ago.

When I was young, I was @ a party and a guy put a cat in a microwave, I`m NOT down w/ that sh!t at all.

I picked up a frying pan off the stove and smashed the guy right in the face w/ it. He lost a good percentage of his teeth and was out cold. I saw him a few years later and he would even look at me, I guarantee he NEVER put a cat in a microwave again.

IMO, he deserved it.

Thank you for doing that. +Bubbles

[LeShin]

Bubbles to you man, I would've done the same, if not worse!

[xionpunk]

what the hell I had no idea microwaving cats was so popular. I'm pretty sure these kids are going to be mass murderers when they grow up.

former cat microwaver? (Dahmer just so ya know)

[va_bank]

Then you did the right thing.

[Andras84]

Good move!!

I hate people who tortue animals just for the heck of it.

Everyone who ever tortured an animal should die in one of the most painfull deaths!

[SpartanGR]

Yeah you're my hero +Bubbles from me too

[tordavis]

Bubbles!

As a school teacher I always stress that violence is not an option to solve problems. However, what kind of sick f!*k does this to another living thing? Blow up a potato if you need to get your rocks off. Maybe a frying pan is the only way such an idiot will get the message. Bubbles for sticking up for a helpless animal.

[SaiyanFury]

This is another example of the "rotating door" justice system in Canada. I'm in Manitoba and it's no better here. IMO these two stupids kids who seem to like to torture animals should be stuffed into a microwave themselves. I wouldn't call it torture, I'd call it poetic justice.

[nbsmatambo]

"and then microwaved a cat to death"

wtf is up with these kids?!

[tda-danny]

Bubbles for sure bud.

[AuToFiRE]

those who torture animals should meet the same fate, you put a cat in the microwave you should be microwaved as your punishment.

and bubbles to you

[SolidSnake93]

Congratz, you did the right thing, bubbles for doing that.

Okay is this a true story? Or did you just want ALOT of positive feedback/bubbles? I am sorry for the suspicion, but I know people who do this because they enjoy exploiting people's sensitivity to certain elements (such as animals).

EDIT: Do you have pictures or a video about this incident on your hard drive?

[Patrick]

Thats seriously sick and if you will do something like that to a helpless animal, you will do worse to a person.

@Chuck Norris, I think you seriously need therapy and from this point on I hope that everyone that see's you posting on ANY article on N4G disagrees with everything you say just to take your ability away to comment. Your seriously screwed up.

[SlyGuy]

now they will never get pus$y

[ChickeyCantor]

You just didn't say that to get bubbles right xD.
If not good job.

[BobDog]

violence dosnt solve problems? lol bs

last year when i was 16, in the playground this bully was picking on some guy half his size, i told him to leave him alone, he told me to f*ck off so i knocked him the f*ck out. the suspension from my school was so worth it :)

he hasnt picked on a kid again. so how did violence did not solve that?

[Chuck Norris]

Microwave a cat? LOL

[ianp622]

How is that funny in the slightest? These kids should be tried as adults for animal abuse, and I think it's a shame they didn't get jail time.

[Genesis5]

Put my cat in a microwave and you better hope you get jail time! Or a least protective custody.

[Lucreto]

@Genesis5 I would not let him get as far as protective custody. He would have to be relocated to another country to escape me.

Cats FTW.

[SL1M DADDY]

Taste like chicken!

j/k

;-)

In all seriousness thought, anybody that puts a cat in a nuker is just plain sick.

[va_bank]

I hate cats, but that's just fvked up - nothing funny about that.

[Sena Kobayashi]

slim daddy are you chinese?

[Chuck Norris]

I don't see anyone complaining about lions eating gazelles over in Africa. Koalas are being killed daily in Australia due to over population. Game hunters kill animals for pleasure. Dog fighting is a legitimate sport in some cultures. Animals die all the time; get over it.

Kids will be kids. I've done some really f*cked up things as a teenager and I'm sure a lot of you have done some weird sh*t as well. It's not like you've never squished a bug or run over an animal on the road.

This is not the first time that this incident has occurred. I'm pretty sure the previous generations has mistreated animals and so did the generations before them. Although I agree that these kids should be punished for cruelty, there are more serious crimes happening around the world than just the death of a cat.

EDIT: I am not saying that these type of actions should be considered acceptable in society. All I'm trying to point out is that there are more pressing issues to deal with. If you want to talk injustice, why not start with the thousands of HUMAN lives being lost everyday due to wars? Or the fact that there are millions of people around the world who suffer everyday due to malnutrition with nothing to eat.

Instead of sitting in our high chairs totally content with our lives and agreeing with one another that these kids are the biggest bast*rds for microwaving a cat, why not look at the bigger picture? Our society is in the pits and it's not going to change with the life and death of a cat.
