"the cat had a broken leg. poor thing. it kinda proves that the vid isnt really a fake" Fair enough, Cherry. I just wondered... The cat must have received quite beating to break a leg. They're pretty resiliant little creatures. Is Kenny's older brother receiving much critisicm in all this? Or has he passed under the radar because he's 'invisible', on the other side of the camera. From what I remember the older brother is something like seventeen, so if anyone is 'responsible' in this situation he should take the greatest burden of blame. Well, there is at least one good thing to come out of this, I bet it'll disencourage 'copy-cat' (no pun intended) videos of kids torturing their animals for fun, being put out on the internet. Though as I've said before I won't watch the 'funny' animal videos anyway, because they are often cruel in nature. And some of the stuff I've heard other people laughing about, has been very nasty indeed. That's quite possibly why the big reaction to this video seems to me dissproportionate, and will become an example of scapegoating for much deeper cultural issues around the way we treat animals in general.
