kittens + mud puddles
PostSecret is a blog that archives secrets that people send in anonymously on postcards. There's apparantly a book, a gallery show and a spin-off LJ community. But this has to do with the RSS feed of the original blog.

This round of secrets includes one of someone being so angry at their parents divorce when they were eleven that they drowned a kitten in a mud puddle.

The RSS feed responds. Half the people call for the murder of the kitten killer, the other half tell people to lay off.

(Found at wank_report, the RSS feed post will expire in a couple of days so I though I'd post while it exsisted.)

Better to drown a kitten than another kid.

I feel for the person who did that to the kitten. So young, so much rage, and having to live with it for the rest of your life. *sigh*

I saw my first kitten die when I was nine, it wasn't my fault, but it still took ages to get over the guilt of not stopping that damn dog biting my cat.

Ditto. I did some things when I was a kid that have caused me guilt ever since... but nothing even on the same scale as that. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to live with that.

I'm still getting over letting the neighbor girl show her mother my kitten. The girl didn't bring her back and her mother then ran her over (the kitten) and was the lucky one to find her. It's been 21`or 22 years and I still cry about it.

I'm horrified for the kitten's sake.

But.

The kitten isn't the one who has to live with it.

Same, though I was older.

Couldn't get my mother's voice out of my head telling me not to get between a dog and what it's fighting, like a coward. Still can't get the tone of her voice out of my head when I went in to tell her that it was the neighbor's cat that'd been killed, and she told me not to tell anyone, because then they might take away her precious mutt.

I lost at least two more cats to that beast, and possibly more of those that were blamed on "coyotes".

Yay. :P

I will admit, that disturbed me... but god, I cannot imagine carrying around that guilt. And it's obvious that the sender feels guilty.

So this would be the wrong place to mention the Kitten Cannon, right?

There's a special handbasket, just for me . . .

It makes me upset when people get angry/mean/stupid about someone's secret on PostSecret.

Though it does prove the necessity of its existence. Imagine if the sender had told his friends instead, and the fallout.

"There are PLENTY of children who have divorced parents and they cope with it fine."

No, they cope without killing cats, but they don't cope "fine". Grr.

Not so much wank as disturbing. It's well known that many real-life murderers began by killing animals when they were young. Do a Google search for "serial killers animals sociology" or similar.

However, the fact the guy/girl is showing remorse is a good sign and should be supported, not mocked. There's a reasonable chance that person is reading those comments.

Thank goodness; I thought I was the only one who thought that killing a kitten was weird. Isn't cruelty to small animals supposedly one of the childhood signs of a killer?
*checks thread*
Yep.

I'm not so much as angry at the girl as I am absolutely damn terrified.

She drowned a kitten. In a puddle. What. The hell.

That is REALLY fucked up.

Reading Post Secret and failing to realise that yes, people will send in fucked-up things just fails with me. Most of those secrets are pretty awful; the thing just gives me the creeps rather than pleasing me because of people's Innate Honesty. I don't know, perhaps it's that I'm not vouyeristic enough to get off on people's emotional crap.

that goddamn bitch. i hope someone drowns HER in a mud puddle >:O

I can't take anyone seriously that uses smiley faces and ignores proper sentence construction. C'mon, folks.

I suspect that those people felt as though the humans knew what was coming and should have gotten out. The animals were innocent victims.

What happened to that whole "Animals can detect when a storm is coming due to their enhanced sense of smell and hearing" stuff I learned in middle school? Just, honestly. Unless teh eb0l hyoomans trapped them in their houses - or they were already used to hurricanes, which is likely - why didn't they call a cab or carpool or start backpacking through the swamps, guided by the spirit of bjr?

And animals can be dicks too. They kill for fun (no eating) sometimes, herbivores seek out the predators' offspring and systematically kill them, they kill for territory... and I don't watch the National Geography a lot either. And this is okay because animals are "innocent" - don't know what they're doing is "morally wrong" - but children aren't?

This is just a case of hating on those fucking stupid hyoomans, really. Equality, my ass.

Someone will probably get their hate on toward me over this, but honestly? A child has no control over his or her life, and not enough perspective to handle stress well.

When my grandma died, I killed my hamster trying to comprehend death. I can't explain what drove me to do it, and I can't fathom doing it now. But kids aren't born with empathy; the first years of our lives are mostly "me"-driven.

Is it just me who thinks one of the most terrible things about that secret is the implication that not only wasn't the counselling helping, but it was making it worse?
