Cats do kill - but they aren't sadist. They never do it exclusively to inflict cruelty on others.
Do you not understand that in confronting the pervert in question the father was stopping the crime or do you really believe that the man was a sadist???

Okay - well. No I have actually never seen such a scenario in real life. Only on film.
But I am familiar with the situation.
However - to my knowledge, animals don't have a habit of killing predators who attack their young, unless they have to. If they can chase them away, animals will usually settle with this. Animals don't kill for pleasure, only humans.
Please correct me if I am wrong.edit on 06/06/12 by Mads1987 because: (no reason given)
This is not a underdog that you are defending, but rather a known pervert and now a pedophile.

Speaking of assumptions !! Glad you can read a cats mind.... The cats I have watched sure seemed to enjoy the act until I saved/took away the baby birds or their play things. You asked for proof all I did was answer you question... and provide proof... Probably others but the whole thing is not worth my time for we are of different minds if not worlds of thought. Your life live it as you please as I will mine.

Confront and subdue is by any means logical and civilized.
To beat the person so they need medical care is fulfilling something sick we all have inside ourselves yet some can control the sickness we are capable of and some cant.

Well, here we have yet another unreasonable act being justified via emotion, like Trayvon Martin being shot by George Zimmerman, Trayvon being a kid and all, which somehow removes Zimmerman's right to defend himself.
The guy really should have made sure the child was not harmed, called police and possibly followed the guy and kept police posted as to the "Naked perv's" location if the guy fled.
I know a lot of you people who have kids agree with beating the hell out of the guy, but that is because you are stuck on this "Love and Protect" mode, which I find a bit odd, in that almost any unreasonable act is justified in defense of a child or other person whom one love's, that "Love conquers / justifies all" silliness.
The law, and reason, and common sense state that violence is not justifiable unless one is violently acted upon or attacked. Violence in return for violence being the last resort or self defense.
The reasoning part of the law states not in so many words, but that stealing a thing does not justify the attempted killing of the thief, and this is true. Stealing does not justify being killed, if one thinks it does, one has no business whining about those middle eastern countries punishing thieves by lopping off their hands or killing them for stealing a loaf of bread. The thief would better be put to use baking bread for you in restitution for stealing from you wouldn't he?.
Unfortunately, most people in the U.S. really do not have the capacity to understand the reasoning behind a lot of laws here, because they have no reasoning capacity to speak of. And because they have no reasoning capacity, laws have to be written to inform people how to react without harming one another, but nobody really tries to read or understand the laws, acting on emotion instead.
If the child was in no direct danger, the perpetrator should not have been placed in harms way either. Of course many of those of you who have children cannot quite grasp this because that "Love" stuff pretty much kills your reasoning capacity.
Does that make sense?, or am I just rambling?, it makes sense to me, and that must be why most of my friends from childhood are convicted felons, and I am not....
Aside from being the most idiotic statement I have ever read on this site, if a man is standing naked at my daughters window, COMMON SENSE and REASON tells me my daughter is in IMMINENT danger, and justifies any actions I take, up to, and including deadly force.

People LOVE their families and friends, and would do whatever it takes to protect them.
Animals are just so much smarter than humans when it really counts, sometimes it stuns me to witness it.
Vengeance is hunting down someone days later. It is not, spur of the moment, attacking a perv, rapist or murderer of a loved one.

Yes, people will do whatever it takes - even go to above and beyond in fact. Many things are done in the name of protection, also morally objectionable things - and that is the point.
By the way - glad I don't live in Texas.
