Gangs of young people with weapons loaded with ammunition such as ball bearings and bolts target and even kill beloved pets, waterbirds and wildlife in London and further afield.

⚠️ DARK STORY:

I saw a squirrel being hit by a car the other day and quickly dying after, which was really really horrible.

That was an accident, but some kids in the UK are hurting / killing pets and wildlife as part of some horrific TikTok trend…

Guess this is what happens when lazy people let corporations co-parent their kids and Animal Rights are weak.

Animal abuse should be punished much more severely IMO.

    Evil is not some boogeyman monster from.the woods or devils in he’ll. It is people doing bad things thinking they are somehow justified in being cruel. Whether it is stuff like this, or sending kids to.their death in war like Russia, or the genocidal actions in places like Palestine. This world is a sick.place, and I firmly blame politics, business and religion.
