At least Muslims and Jews can come together over their disdain for bacon, so there is hope for the Middle East.
Most of this stuff in this thread is pretty disturbing. What kind of mentality must one have to think that injuring/killing a cat is funny? Then try to excuse it as "well, I was in high school" is a sign of thinking it wasn't really that bad anyway. I guess Vick should have been torturing and killing cats, then he would still be playing football.
I saw that same show, and the vet that was interviewed claimed to had tended to a cat that survived a 42-story fall.
