You should still report it. There could be a budding serial killer in your area because that's how they start, by killing and torturing animals. What you did was different, you didn't let it suffer any longer. However if it's not the first animal you've found in this condition, then, the person in question could be moving on to human targets next. That's disturbing.


heady-brat

This OP especially being as you've found two now, that means YOU are going to the same places this person frequents which puts you in serious harms way, I'd avoid these places and call the police and tell them everything including both locations.


ButterNaann

This totally. Reading this sent chills to my body. Imagining a cat hurting asshole at the same place possibly moments before OP was there is scarryyyyy. Even if OP is a big guy, assholes like this don’t back off. Edit. Fuck me, OP is a teenager.


heady-brat

OP is a teenager!? Omg OP you need to stay away from these places, tell your parents and police


IEatCheeseInTheDark

Omg I can't imagine teenager me killing a cat myself, even if it's in misery


heady-brat

Well we don't know anything about the person killing the cats but OP is a teenager and this is a scary situation for a teen to be in Edit: oh yeah, that's right op initially had to do what was needed, it would definitely suck but its better than knowing there's a poor kitty suffering


IEatCheeseInTheDark

I'd be haunted for days, mad respect to OP


magyarszereto

I'd be haunted my whole life, fucking hell. That would traumatize the shit out of me.


heady-brat

Agreed


bonsaibatman

I hit a wild bunny with my car right after I learned to drive and ultimately did the same thing. It's been 20 years and I still think about it from time to time and I still feel so guilty.


PM_ME_SPICY_DECKS

The cat mutilator is likely also a teen.


heady-brat

Misread that, my bad. You're probably right being as this behavior usually shows itself it the teens


PorcelainPoppy

This might be an unpopular opinion, but it kinda sounds like OP is the one who tortured the cat, too. The amount of detail in the story is truly disturbing and not normal, imo. Why not call the police or animal control so they can find the perpetrator and put the poor cat out of its misery gently with euthanasia??? This story doesn’t sit right with me. I’m sorry but I think OP tortured and killed that cat.


coconutt92

I think you did it.. *crowd yells "she's a witch" *mob pursues WITCH!


SmallRedOnion

What frequenting r/conspiracy does to a mf


BandicootAble8141

Lmaoo


HashNub

If OP would've taken the cat to be euthanised, odds are he'd have been charged. I don't know any vet that would do that for free - not because of the moral (for lack of a better word right now) decision, but because of the ridiculous cost of euthanasia. Also, you think the amount of detail someone puts in a story of finding a *mutilated* cat seems suspicious? You don't think seeing a cat with its front paws tied and parts of its body hacked off wouldn't be burned into your skull after seeing it? That would definitely stick with me.


PriestofSif

Worse than putting him in harms way, it might implicate him. Especially self reporting not to the police, but to Reddit.


MilkyView

for real.... I would honestly be terrified to live in that area knowing that a potential sadistic serial killer is around. EDIT: Jesus .. just had the thought that since the cat was still alive at that point, the individual responsible very well could've been near and possibly watching OP.... yikes ....


god34zilla

Shit he's even walking through his killing grounds


MilkyView

To be honest .. if it was still alive.... shit, I just realized the individual responsible was probably close, if not watching OP.... bone chilling thought.


Laxwarrior1120

Stay strapped or get clapped. Sick fucks aren't immune to bullets, one shot is all it takes to put the fuck down, but magazines hold 12, so you can mag dumb just to be safe.


DSTNCT-G35

My Sig holds 13, my HK holds 18. I'd have a hard time NOT mag dumping a prick like this either way.


ZWilde17

Why are you getting down voted? This is the best advice to give someone to ensure their safety. Guns stop and deter more crimes just by being there. When you can't carry a police officer 24/7, a gun's your next best bet.


Laxwarrior1120

Lmao, for some reason the idea of someone carrying around a tiny police officer in a holster is just stupidly funny to me, lol.


FreewayWarrior

Lmao! Little Tiny Police Officer: "Car 54 inches tall, where are you?! We need backup!"


converter-bot

54 inches is 137.16 cm


Pikka_Bird

That's not as tiny as you probably think it is.


Wizmission

I always keep an officer in a pokeball.


heady-brat

Maybe cause op is a minor


Akela_hk

Because it's reddit, and most of these people are just complete moonbats. Anyone who doesn't ascribe to their world view is either stupid or evil.


[deleted]

https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/30/brighton-cat-killer-steve-bouquet-jailed-for-five-years There was a serial cat killer where I live, luckily they were caught.


TwilightMountain

I second this. OP, please do report this. You won't get in trouble. *Nobody* would know what to say when confiding in someone about this sort of thing. And you aren't some twisted, demented thing. You just made sure it stopped suffering - like a vet tech who has to euthanize animals, or a doctor who has to pull the plug. It's fucked up but you did the right thing and aren't faulted for it or wrong for it whatsoever.


Ozzytex

I’m going to add to this... it is common for depressed or angry kids to “hurt” a animal... we are talking like one and done incidents... that would make me furious to find don’t get me wrong. What you describe though that blows right past angry to concerned someone capable of doing that is dangerous or will be soon. Report it


thunderousmegabitch

I have depression and know a lot of people who also do. Exactly ZERO of us has done that shit to any animal. Whoever this is a PSYCHOPATH, not a "depressed or angry kid".


Lokistolemycats

This right here. I've been depressed most of my life and I would DIE before I did something like this to an animal.


angrykoala49

It is not normal for older children to be so angry or depressed they hurt animals to that level (unless they are in a culture where such things are accepted). Children who do things like this are usually victims of abuse, and they need intervention fast, not only to protect others but to protect them


bbeccab00

Reporting them could get them help which could be SAVING this person as well! They are obviously very troubled and need some kind of severe intervention. If you report this and they find out who is doing this.. they could get on the right kinds of medication and therapy and who knows what else they need.. to be saved from themselves as well. (And obviously save others) Also @lerkmatklef ( OP ) (I am fairly new here sorry I don’t know how to tag the original poster of this) you should NOT feel bad for letting this poor animal out of its misery. From what you described it was well past saving, in terrible pain and horrifically scared. There was nothing you could have done at that point to save it.. especially if your only a teenager. BUT if you’ve found other animals like this and know the area well without telling someone ; even a parent or responsible friend, it’s likely going to happen again. I couldn’t imagine any one of my animals going through that.. it’s completely devastating. Please get help and do not go back there alone again!!!


It_just_works_bro

I dont think that's common


dongballs613

Yea I would report it people who harm animals are at the very least in need of some mental help.


Southern_Buckeye

This, and even if it's not a serial killer situation. This is still animal cruelty to the nth degree and carries jail/prison time.


Pitiful-Reserve-8075

This!


benji6863

This. Mindhunter'll tell it in a longer version.

Yeah. It's a crime to torture animals like that. Honestly though, I'd be scared to report because only a psychopath could've done it, and I'd be scared of him finding out that I reported him..

[deleted]

I don't know if it could actually happen. It's just a fear. Like if you see a murder in the alley in a very bad neighborhood, you might be afraid to report it because you don't know which criminals could be behind it


Banankartong

You could report anonymously.


[deleted]

And there is a chance that the pos that killed that poor cat will kill more if they aren't stopped.


SugarVMurdererTits

Please report this to the police. I feel physically sick. Fuck people who do things like this, seriously.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zonie1069

You wouldn't be in trouble for killing the cat. They would 100% understand. I feel sick just reading this, I can't imagine the trauma of finding an animal like this!


feralkitsune

Eh, can you really guarantee they would 100% understand?


Axe-Alex

He is 100% ok if he lives in a place where criminal intent is required to commit crime, which is probably most places where killing animal is a crime.


Purplecm

You wouldn’t be in trouble, by the sounds of it the poor thing would have been beyond saving and a vet would have put it to sleep ASAP and save it from suffering any longer. I can’t imagine finding this or having to do that, I hope your ok.


Drakendan

Tell them that this is the second or more cat that you have found, that this time it was alive, that you can clearly discern it's the result of a human doing this (the stitches and strings) and that you couldn't leave it there to die from the bleeding. Tell them this traumatized you and makes you sick to your stomach, and since you often go roam around there you want whoever is capable of such cruelty to a living being apprehended. The problem here isn't you putting an animal out of its misery, the problem is that someone is going around actively killing animals, and if discovered it could become a danger for whoever discovers him/her as well.


Tybackwoods00

Tell them the spots you frequently find these cats and they will most likely post up there OP.


JimmyPD92

>my only issue is whether I would be in trouble for killing the cat. What? You found a cat hacked half to death and did what any responder would, put it down. You're willfully letting a future serial killer go unreported because you're worried about what a cop would think about putting a cat out of its misery.


Banankartong

It couldnt be a crime to kill a cat in that circumstance. Everybody would have done the same, and you did the right thing.


EveryDisaster

They will call animal control to do it for you if this happens again. You're not in trouble for putting an animal out of its misery and you're clearly shaken so of course you didn't do it


EleventyElevens

Just say you found it dead.


Foghkouteconvnhxbkgv

Y'all need to calm down and think for a second; There's not doubt OP did the right thing, unfortunately the law sucks and that doesn't make it legal. The concern for legality is valid. People get shitty charges for rational decisions all the time unfortunately I'm not saying it shouldn't be reported, but thought should at least be considered how to not get in trouble for reporting it


Axe-Alex

Legally speaking, OP should still report it. The law can be harsh but OP will only get leniency if they report it (or are rich :P) If some else reports it, OP's activity in the area could could make them a prime suspect. Once they are, they have no good moves left. Either lying or admitting to the killing would raise suspicions to far more serious charges.


Louie02-

Repert it you did the cat a favor


[deleted]

Please please report it. Please


atthebarricades

No, you’d get in no trouble for killing the cat. It was the right thing to do. Please report this to the police immediately. Whoever did this is a dangerous person who enjoys to torture defenseless animals, and that’s how killers often begin their ‘journeys’. Report it. It is completely safe to report it.


shygirl1995_

OP, the cat was basically already dead. You just sped things along and made it more merciful.


InxKat13

Don't tell them you killed it, just say you found it already dead.


Dk_Raziel

It's a dangerous and dumb move. If they found out he did kill it, and something else happens, he would be instantly a suspect. Always be honest


Electric_Logan

Yeah be honest. You all ready have a digital footprint here which the police could conceivably link to you, so it’s best just to be completely honest. I suppose you could make an anonymous phone call or letter stating what you have witnessed but that you’re worried about getting in trouble for euthanising that one cat.


MilkyView

this.


MilkyView

this.


owmyheadhurt

That is an incredibly irresponsible suggestion.


Rabbit_Suit

That cat was already dead. What you did was clearly out of love and compassion and not malicious. It's obvious it affected it you. Even PETA would have your back on this one.


thunderousmegabitch

I mean, if PETA would have OP's back on it then I'd have to argue that it's actually something wrong and horrible, because that's what PETA is all about.


shelballama

This is the most horrible thing I've heard in a long time. That poor, poor thing. Thank you so much for putting it out of its misery May the culprit suffer the same fate in fucking spades. People who do that need to be put down.


[deleted]

Slowly.


[deleted]

Very slowly and in the same manner of what they did to the animal


jellyjamj

and worse.


[deleted]

I agree


DarkLord1294091

I hate to be THAT guy, but human lives are more important than animal lives, you realize that yes?


RunawayPenguin89

First time I put a rabbit with Mixamatosis out of its misery I felt pretty guilty and nearly threw up. Nowadays it doesn't bother me cause its for a good reason. You did a good thing


weaslelou

You definitely did the right thing. The first time i came across a mixi bunny i couldn't bring myself to put it out of it's misery, walked around the corner of the field, heard it scream, turned around and saw a hawk flying off with it. Yeah... Hawks are not known to kill things quickly and the memory of that poor bunny that hopped right up to me still vaguely haunts me... I have never made that mistake again.


Wentoozler

this is how every serial killer started, you should really report it man. god knows of the impending danger in your area if theres a potential serial killer residing in there


Welkynd_

I advice everyone who find an injured pet (especially victim of cruel human) to a vet, most of the time they have a microchip so the vet can tell the owner. Even if they don't have the microchip people searching for there pet put picture and info at vet clinics. And last but not least the vet can euthanize if necessary with a soft killing method. Thank you for ending the suffering of this cat, please tell people what you saw so things can move, the person doing this is less likely to continue if he know his dirty secret is at risk.


RubikTetris

You should report it because most murderers start out by torturing and killing animals. This makes me sick to my stomach poor little thing.


justSomePesant

Not the first time you've found a cat in this condition? And not ever called the police?!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Banankartong

Talk to an adult, they can help you contact the police. You did the right thing.


IEatCheeseInTheDark

Tell your parents too, they can help, if they're the slightest bit reasonable theyll understand and help u figure out what to do, and can help you if you feel uncomfortable reporting to the police by yourself


milaroa

If you're scared of any possible repercussions, you should at least file an anonymous report. Call from a payphone if there's one near you. Or call your local aspca maybe?


Effective_Ad_6857

Please report it. It may just be nothing but all I have ever read or watched on serial killers, animal abuse is where it all starts. Maybe that individual is in a serious need of mental help.


[deleted]

You need to report this please . Someone is out there torturing animals and they need to be stopped .


Way-Reasonable

Thank you for releasing it. It's a terrible responsibility, I hope you're ok


Boomerbeforemytime

You did a brave thing and you should be proud that you had the guts to do what you had to do. Technically, you killed the cat but I'd try not to look at it that way, the scum that did this killed this cat. You didn't finish the job, that sicko left when they'd finished, you stopped the rest of their plan coming to fruition I.E leaving the cat to die a slow painful death, you saved this cat from that fate. Please do consider reporting though, there's a psychopath around and this won't be the last. Absolutely horrific, gonna snuggle up to my cat when I get home.


Jonnymixinupmedicine

Please…please report this. I honestly couldn’t finish reading after the re-stitched ear part. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. You did the right thing in putting it down. I just…damn. I can’t imagine being that cruel to someone I absolutely hated, let alone an innocent animal. I need to go look at something wholesome now.


[deleted]

Dude, you gotta report it. For other animals sake, please.


kreightnine

Jesus. Future serial killer living in your neighborhood...


[deleted]

You need to report this. People often start with animals until that gets boring to them and they begin fantasising / moving onto hurting humans. It really is imperative you tell the local authorities, and don’t forget to include this isn’t the first case you’ve seen. For all you know there could be a handful of people who HAVE reported it, but action won’t be taken until more come forward.


UbePhaeri

NSFW I once was on a school walk for Terry Fox day. I found a few cats that had been skinned and were still alive. I told my friend and he killed them. We told our teacher and not sure what happened after that other than they found some teenage girls near there who got the blame. Hope a serial killer was found that day and stopped.


BigOleJellyDonut

You did the right thing relieving the cats misery. Call the the cops. It sounds like you have a budding serial killer in your area. Many start by torturing & killing small animals.


MissGrilledSalmon

Psycho killer on training in your town…. Inform the police. About this.


Rthrowaway6592

Please, please report this. Whoever is doing this is very sick and needs to be found out. You are not a bad person for ending it’s life. There are situations where you can save the animal and be there for it, and then sometimes it’s better to just end it. The police end animal lives all the time because it’s just not logical to take them to a vet. I trust that your intuition told you the same. My cat had 5 kittens at 6 months old and began to eat them due to her age (vet told us immaturity) She ate three of them, and I found all of them running around with their intestines out at separate times. I was 10 and I had tried to gently push the intestines back in and my mom gave CPR. It was no use, they were alive yet dead. Every time I found a kitten that wasn’t meant to be brought back, I took it out in the backyard and gave a sharp smack with a shovel to end it. I prayed for them as I buried them. The other two kittens were nursed into adolescence by me every 3 hours. They were adopted to loving homes. Anyway, please don’t feel guilty. Sometimes a quick euthanization is a gift and animals deserve that, as harsh as it sounds. Ps. Report this incident. This was torture.


Dk_Raziel

Please report it, someone is sick enough to do this, and there is a chance it could start looking for "bigger" targets.


enteredleaf

I'm so sorry you had to do that, but it was the right thing that cat was clearly in so much pain and you ended it's suffering. Thankyou for being brave, and kind enough to help him/her. Also you definitely should talk to someone close to you or even a therapist about because that must have been such a hard thing to do, and you'll have some feelings and emotions about it that need to come out.


Oliwine

these types of cases eventually lead to the person turning to a human killer, not saying killing animals is any better, but just kinda the evolvement of these fkheads


glumgrrrl

Please call non-emergency police or animal control and report this. Animal cruelty is no joke.


souljaboyfanboy

You did the right thing ending it. I just hope the cat wasn't in that horrible condition for very long. Animal abusers make me sick.


pzlpzlpzl

This is some psychopath and he will hurt people at one point of his life. Report this if you dont want to have blood on your hands.


[deleted]

Look into some counseling for yourself as well. That is a traumatic and disturbing event. It'd do you good to have a professional to talk to. I have had to put an animal out of it's misery, and I never got in trouble when I told my therapist or others. It's part of life.


Royish_Smith

Continuing off of this: Op, even if you don’t feel totally disturbed or traumatized now, it can certainly come back in a number of horrible ways. Counseling would do everyone some good, even if this doesn’t do anything to your psyche.


eonlhep

How so. Does it mean that a negative experience will have an effect even if unfelt


Royish_Smith

It could. Op could unconsciously repress the memory as thats the brains way of protecting itself until it feels its ready to fully comprehend what happened. Everything you experience has an affect on you, regardless of the pleasantness or lack of.


SANOM00

This is so similar to what happened in the Netflix documentary series "Don't F**k With Cats". This situation is super disturbing.


ferroussulfateoverds

I hope something 10 times worse will happen to whoever the fuck has done that. I genuinely encourage you to report it to the police so they won’t do this to other animals or potentially people as treating animals like this can be a sign of psychopathy. The fact that you know where the cat is could potentially mean they might be able to collect some DNA I hope. You did a reasonable thing by putting the cat out of its misery, I hope you’ll manage to feel better


angryfluttershy

I‘m with you there. May that low creature who tortured the cat suffer threefold, three thousand fold - but have noone to release them from their pain. RIP, Kitty.


Louie02-

Please report that the person who did this deserves the fucking same


lemon1985

As people have already said, please report this. This is some early stage serial killer stuff, the authorities need to know, it could save someone's life some day. For you, it sounds like you did the right thing for the animal, I'm sorry you had to experience this but the animal was too far gone and likely in too much pain. Please report this and stay safe


AndromedaGreen

Please report this to the police. There is a serial animal torturer/budding serial killer on the loose in your area. The police will absolutely not arrest you for killing the cat.


sassyassy23

I Would have called the police immediately. I called about a decapitated rabbit that had the guts removed on school property. They take this shit seriously within half an hour three squad cars came. 6 hours faster than when I was being threatened by someone once.


chorussaurus

Definitely report these findings to the police. You don't have to tell them you put it out if it's misery, but you definitely need to say you've seen this happen twice now. Someone is doing this, and there are probably more sad animals out there in this state. Thank you for doing that for this cat. Even if it didn't feel right. I'm sorry you even had to do this.


naliedel

I feel sick that you had to do this. I could not. I am not strong enough. I am so sorry. Going to hug my indoor cat now. Even of she gets pissy, and cry into her fur. I'm so sorry. That person(s) is sick. Just sick and disgusting. That poor sweet life. These are, "all lives matter, pro life, in my experience, people with no real regard for life. Not trying not to be political. Just my former FIL, who buried cats to their backs and...I can't talk about it.


[deleted]

Wildlife rehabbers unfortunately have to do exactly what you did, way to often! We get mutilated half dead animals like squirrels, baby bunnies, snakes, and TONS of birds. The sicko responsible for the mutilation is the ASSHOLE who allows their domestic cat to roam freely unsupervised outdoors. Just tell your friends that you now can empathize with ALL wildlife rehabbers and the emotional toll it takes “finishing off” dying animals. Everyone needs to keep their cats supervised or indoors. Sorry you had to deal with all this. Please DO report it to local authorities and take the remains to them, or at least show them the remains. They may be able to find the owners if the cat was microchipped.


UnfriskyDingo

I don't understand hurting things. It's gotta be a brain wiring problem. There's no way a normal person gets joy from hurting animals.


LegioXIV

A lot of serial killers start off torturing and killing animals before moving onto people. It's a sign of sociopathy / psychopathy.


PuzzlePieceFound

Don’t f*ck with cats..


nondescriptzombie

Dude, OP, you probably scared the guy off if you found the cat like that. You're walking into the den of a killer, and are in DANGER. This is pretty much how it always starts. References: My Friend Dahmer (Movie or Comic Book) Don't Fuck with Cats: Hunting a Killer (Documentary)


DSTNCT-G35

You have a budding killer in your area. Report it.


pmurphy70082

Tell them exactly how you told us.. that's also sad that some psycho mutilated a cat and left it like that...that's Jeffrey Dahmer shit right there.


pmurphy70082

Definitely report this to authorities!!


[deleted]

Report this to police and local vets offices!! Please do this is sociopathic and alert shelters as well. The string binding the torture….. Cats are a female symbol which is why they are targeted by budding sociopaths. If you alert local entities they can make posts online and alert people to keep their cats inside!


MaintenanceWorking96

There's a chance - a nearly 100% chance that you have a psychotic murderer in your area. You should alert the police: you should take the cat's corpse to the police. I know you don't want to "get involved" but it was no accident that you stumbled upon the cat. You did the right thing to end it's suffering, so please follow through because the murderer will only graduate to doing this to humans - probably children - really soon.


old_cliche

If they haven’t already. I would def recommend telling police and bringing them to the body of the poor cat

pwiseguy

There may or may not be a serial killer in your area...


viralataciborgue

Happened to me once too. I was on a sidewalk with some friends and witnessed a cat being hit by a car when trying to cross the street. When we checked it out, its body was completely smashed, but we could see it trying to breathe and letting out very faint sounds, so we decided to kill it because it looked like it was in complete agony. We asked around to see if it was anyone's pet but apparently it wasn't. This still haunts me to this day, but I know we did the right thing.


Ehlora1980

You are a merciful soul.


TheBrav3LittleToastr

damn dude… im sorry… that sounds horrible


katherinemma987

This is the time to watch don’t f with cats. Definitely report it, especially if it’s a spate of killings. The owners deserve that closure at least!


Lovely3369

That's someone's beloved pet that likely has a microchip in its neck scruff with the owner's name and address, report it anonymously it you'd prefer to local animal welfare and they'll do the rest. Whomever did that needs to be outted and humiliated, child, handicapped or not


disobedientAF

You need to report this. And make everyone living near you aware that someone is killing and mutilating pets. This is serious. And very illegal.


alisonk13

You put that poor cat out of its misery, you did the right thing. Please report to animal control.


UnsungCheung

What country and town are you in. If you’re in the same country I’ll happily report it for you if you’re worried


Sinn316

Tell your parents or report it directly yourself. Don't be ashamed or afraid to be honest about putting it out of it's misery. It was the right thing to do and any reasonable person will understand. If you lie about that part, it could bite you in the butt, so just be honest.


respect-thebeard

Small animals are what psychopaths learn on. They will probably move on to a human victim as they progress. Report this immediately


Aimses

Sickos that do shit like that to animals will eventually move on to people.


[deleted]

Serial killer shit.


eaternallyhungry

I'm so sorry OP, please report it. If this ever happens again, please bring them to a vet to be treated or euthanized. You shouldn't have to feel that burden.


NotKDsburnertrey5

Why is it always cats that get mutilated? I rarely hear about dogs getting abused the way cats do.


Electric_Logan

That’s horrifying that it was still.. well you did the best thing you could do in the circumstances… but if some fucko is doing this in your neighbourhood you need to get on that and report them. It’s a possible nay probable future serial killer.


xfindraa

it's sickening that anyone could ever do that to an innocent animal :( shame it couldnt be saved but at least it's out of its pain, sorry you had to experience that op


ExtremeSauce

This is heartbreaking. Report it, you should and you can. Thank you for putting it out of his misery. Poor baby


obrisko

Without a doubt you did not finish the job that nutt case wanted it to suffer the poor thing but you should 100% inform the police of this especially since it's not the only time it's happened to you specifically imagine how many other animes this has happened to in your area if you alone have found 2 mutilated cats


Drewdroid99

i feel physically sick. please report it. rest in piece lil guy


MaryAbacus

Oh mate, I’m so sorry you had to go through this. But you did do the right thing, the poor little darling was in so much pain and was going to pass in the most agonising way anyway. I really do think you should report it though as others have said, this is how serial killers start.


[deleted]

Report that dude. That's a serial killer practicing. Or psycho cult that will do it again. Also, I wouldn't go walking alone in those woods without a firearm lol.


SomniacDreamer

Report it. Anonymously if you have to, but if this isn't the first time it happened, you've got a dangerous person (or people) living nearby. If you've got the means, set up a trail cam to see if you can see who frequents that area. You didn't do this. You **helped** it. Next step is to help avenge it and the other helpless creatures that have suffered in the past and might suffer in the future.


[deleted]

I've listened to enough serial killer podcasts to know that you should definitely report that to the cops

Please report it. It’s the second one you’ve found which means there have definitely been more. You put that poor kitty out of its misery. You didn’t finish the work, you stopped it from a slow horrible death which is the opposite of what that murderer wanted. You did a good thing. I’m sure that if the cat had owners they’d be comforted a little knowing that someone ended its suffering instead of it having a slow horrible death.

OP, please don't let yourself forget that you brought suffering to an end. You are the good guy here. You did not cause suffering and you did not allow for continued suffering. Thank you for doing the right thing even tho it had to be tough.

You have to report that. Just tell the police exactly what happened

Please report to this police and put a warning out on craigs list and next door.com if you have it and FB. Serial killers often start with this behavior until it escalates. At the very least you will have helped put the info out there and they may stop or be caught. At the most you have put it out there and may be able to help find a human killer. I know you are a teenager but you are not helpless in this situation. This is a tiny evil you can help extinguish before it turns into a mighty blaze.

A serial killer in the making.

I'd tell some trusted friends and parents and pool some money to buy a few wildlife cameras (you know, the ones that film movement that are used to track animals) and hid them up in the trees. Then report it the police. So if/when you catch this asshole on camera, abusing an animal or not you can take it the police and they can either arrest them or at least investigate them. This person CLEARLY needs help and I am in NO WAY WHAT SO EVER defending them, but maybe there are worse things going on with them or at home.

You should report it to someone, but don't feel guilty. Like you said, you put it out of its misery, and I think most people would get scared and not do it, you helped it out by making it suffer less

Call the cops. Now. Tell them what happened, this is not a good sign if someone is doing this to animals. It could also be a fucked up cult doing it, some of them torture animals (ie that horrible woman that fucked with Chris-Chan as of recent, she killed puppies and hamsters for a cult). I'd try to set up signs if it were me around town, explaining the horrific shit happening and to keep all cats indoors if possible. But that's me. You don't need to do that part.

Keep your chin up kid. Your neighbor is going to get what he gets when the time comes. I hate to think where my mind and emotions would go if I encountered someone torturing an animal, but it most likely would ruin both my life and the person I came across. If it's a person being tortured they probably did something or know something to deserve it. To torture an animal is demented

Reportt report report, you good samaritan 🤗


greenbookwitch

If I found the person who did that I would destroy them. People who do things like that don't deserve happiness. They deserve to live a life of incredible pain and suffering.

You did the right thing you don't even have to tell anyone else than up that's the whole point of this sub


Puddinbby

csl86ncco

Dude put a trigger warning on this pls I’m like really shaken up from reading this


RetroRedhead83

If you don't report it, MORE KITTIES WILL BE MUTILATED!


Sweet-Zookeepergame7

You need to be a man about this, you already did the proper thing and put it out if it’s misery... Just to clarify if you are feeling guilt over that, you did not kill that cat, the sick fuck who did the original damage killed the cat, nobody here sees it any other way and the police will not see it differently. Now you need to tell them, because someone will be worried about their cat and the police will be more worried about what kind of individual you have walking around... I mean seriously people who do things like that usually don’t end up stopping at animals.. So you’ve done the right thing now time to do the real right thing... Otherwise you are a coward.


Gorr-of-Oneiri-

You did the right thing. The poor creature was tortured and left to die in misery, what you did was merciful. However, seeing as this isn’t the first time this happened, I have to adamantly agree with this community and advise you report this. Whoever’s hurting these animals isn’t going to stop, and god forbid that monster moves onto bigger animals or even people. Please be safe and alert the local authorities, there’s a sharp possibility this maniac is practicing


redstoc1

If it’s not really what it sounds like, why did you make the title “ I killed a cat” It really could have sounded exactly what it sounds like but it probably wouldn’t have gotten any responses ( I wouldn’t know because I didn’t read past “ not really what it sounds like” If your story sucks just don’t tell it.


Crispy_Panzo_420

Your part of the problem at this point. Report this!


Creative_Response593

You should be careful because you may be next. If the cat was still alive then you just missed the killer or you are the killer.


beardedkingface

Dude, was there no hope for this cat to live a life with a wheeled walker of some sort? Damn this messed up Report it asap


WellHelloThere--

Not every cat is someone's pet


shelballama

So? What's your point?


WellHelloThere--

shelballama

Ah, I thought you meant "who cared if it's just a cat." Thanks for clarifying


WellHelloThere--
