i hear his keys jangling already.
Alex... bluntly m8 the title of the thread offended people, when they said so you've gone out of your way to publicly berate them. Bad form old chap.
Hopefully I'm not the only one to spot the irony of wishing harm on three teenagers who inflicted harm on something else - which is the worse crime?
I agree 100%
In response to the question, "which is the worse crime?", easy! Torturing a baby animal is a crime and wishing harm on the people who did it isn't a crime, so if anyone is having trouble deciding which behaviour is the "worse" they need to do a course in basic logic.
Perhaps 'wishing it' isn't criminal, but inflicting it in the manner described in the original post certainly would be. Far from basic logic, it would appear Locum is onto the advanced stuff already
Sorry for moaning, I know it's not a bushcrafty thing, but I wonder how many people would love to meet these gents in a dark alley and reeducate them in the rights and wrongs of society.
I disagree 100%. Inflicting harm as a punishment on cruel and vindictive people serves the purpose of allowing them to empathise with their victim and acts as a deterrent, it's totally different to mounting a gratuitous violent attack on any species of animal, human or otherwise. The attack on the fawn was proactive and pointless (not to mention nauseating and evil), beating the living daylights out of the criminals involved (by legal means) would be reactive and serve a very good purpose.
I wonder if we should abandon this thread?
Everybody agrees that pointless cruelty to wild animals is wrong. Everybody agrees that those responsible should be punished.
How they are punished might be a good subject for a criminal justice website, but I don't think it's appropriate here.
A severe public thrashing and I mean severe, to the point a doctor has trouble finding vital signs.
Okay, it's a deliberately misleading title. But has anyone seen this

What with a number of these issues, including the recent bushcraft post on the pigeon, I'm beginning to think that these things are becoming more and more common.
I find it a shame that "for legal reasons" they cannot be named. It's not as though they didn't know what they were doing for their age.
I would happily boycott any firm that ever employed them. I wonder what they will go on to do next.

Moan over...........
