I would probably buy a gun and shoot someone if they shot my cat. Humans aren't more special than animals. That's like the one thing that would get me riled up enough to commit a crime of passion is hurting my cats.

When I was 9 years old, our neighbor boys used our cat for target practice with their air rifles, back in those days apparently the air rifles were powerful enough to put a pellet through a pelt, our cat crawled up inside the engine bay of our car to hide, got caught in the belts when we started it, but it wasn't the belt that killed the cat, it was the pellet hole in its torso. I never acknowledged their existence again except to be rude at any opportunity, I doubt it changed their cruel dispositions.
