My wish is that he gets dirty rocks for Christmas this year and every year. Hurting an animal over a tree means he is an idiot.
This why we should have a purge laws
Then we can hunt animal abusers down then off those POS
Just saying
Anyone that would injure an animal that badly over playing with a tree deserves to go to jail and ANGER MANAGEMENT, I hope he gets nothing for Christmas.
There is a special place in Hell waiting for this POS! I hope that his fiance has kicked him to the curb. If he will do this to an innocent kitten what will he do to her or any children they might have!
IF ONLY HE COULD SPEND CHRISTMAS IN HELL!
