There are some people who are
just sick in the head. There is something
wrong with them that is almost inexplicable.
They show no empathy to innocent creatures. They hurt things for
fun. They are not part of civil society,
or shouldn’t be. Prison time, for them,
is all about deterrence. They have to be
removed from society because they don’t belong in society.
It is alleged that Alexander
Marsh of League City, Texas, and Joseph Morgan of Highlands, Texas, threw cats
in the air so they could shoot them with shotguns, like they were skeet
shooting. If this is true, then these
two are sick in the head and need to be removed from society.

The Houston Chronicle reports that Marsh and Morgan have been
charged with felony animal cruelty in East Harris County. A neighbor of Morgan’s in Highlands told
Harris County sheriff’s deputies that she had seen two men tossing a cat into the
air and shooting it with a shotgun, according to the two men’s arrest warrants.
According to the Chronicle: Deputies met with Morgan, who told them
Marsh was the one who threw the cat into the air while he was the one who shot
it, according to court documents.
Morgan
said he and Marsh shot the cat because its eye was previously injured and they
couldn't afford to take it to a veterinarian, records state. According to a
news release from the Harris County Sheriff's Office, Morgan said he used a
shotgun loaded with bird shot.
Morgan
told investigators the cat didn't die immediately but was "flopping
around" in apparent pain after it was shot and landed on some broken
concrete and bricks about 20 feet below the two men's location.
That excuse, that the cat had an
injured eye and they couldn’t afford to treat it, sounds as shady and
ridiculous to me as it likely did to the deputies. Hopefully these two spend a lot of time
locked up. That kind of unspeakable cruelty to animals shows a level of
depravity of those not fit to be in society.
