The difference being, is that the predators are doing what nature designed them to do, be predators. As oppossed to a human killing wastefully and maliciously, for no good reason.
And cats aren't wild animals. A mountain lion kitten, lynx, or tiger, is, but not a house cat.
Feeling a bit sorry for calvalryscout now haha. Lots of flame headed your way!

Deputies transported the kittens to the Emergency Care Center At Tampa Bay Veterinary Specialist in Largo for further care. The SPCA responded to the scene and the kittens are currently in their custody.
Are my taxes paying for this baloney?
I don't want to see animals abused but every time I read one of these stories that's the first thing I wonder.

Some people do indeed make me sick as well. Imagine if we actually had punishments here in the U.S. that were more like India... crime would be a lot lower in my opinion. You steal, we cut your hand off. You do something like this, we put you in a freezer so you can see how horrible this is. I think it would be interesting indeed.

The officer decides to do his job and responds to the bank robbery. After he parks his car the kittens escape through the back window which the officer left cracked for fresh air. After the escape one kitten proceeds to climb up the leg of the officer’s pants scratching him in the process. While the officer is distracted by the cute little kitten he is shot and killed by one of the bad guys.
It could have happened.

Okay, bad joke aside, the guy tortured an animal, and that's morally wrong.
But have you ever killed a snake and then found out it was a harmless species?
Have you ever killed a mouse in one of those glue traps and listened to it screech
while it died?
How about that poor spider you squashed underfoot without a thought?
Oh, I know....those are PESTS aren't they. And isn't it convenient that YOU get to decide
what is a pest and what is not a pest....
Maybe, you could help me out a little bit...a stray cat's litter of kittens have grown into
small cats. They are tearing up my window-screens and keep crawling into my truck at
night and sleeping on my seats causing me allergies.....can I consider them as pests and kill them?
Or is there like a form or something I have to fill out to make sure they are really pests and
not a member of the "cute and cuddly" protected list?edit on 4-12-2012 by rival because: (no reason given)

So for anyone who has eaten meat in their life, what is a humane way to kill animals?

I don't agree. I wouldn't say that for a human so I won't say it for a cat. It's like saying we shouldn't bring babies into the world because the world is cruel and difficult. Death sucks. Dying in a freezer sucks too.

For those that eat meat. Getting your meat from a real farm and not a factory farm is certainly at least more humane. Give them a natural life prior to killing them.
I am a tree hugging vegetarian though so my method is that much more humane.
