Keep going tig... you are absolutely correct, bad shit is bad shit, and I am certainly not going to stop you getting any off it out. Do what you must do and feel comfortable doing.
Cruelty to animals this one... not death, but cruel.
A bloke pissed myself and a mate off one day when we were about 17 I think. We where at a party and this bloke decided to pick on me, I told him to piss off and wasn't interested in fighting, walked away, so he went onto my mate instead, who decided to fight back. Well, he got his arse kicked and we left. This bloke owned a car, nice too from memory, an older car but done up. So my mate decided he was going to really teach this prick a lesson for being an arsewipe. He went a few houses up, a cat was outside, he called the cat and patted it, then he told me to stand at this guys car and open the close the door when told. His car was unlocked in the driveway with others behind and surrounding it. My mate got the cat by the tail and swung it around and around, dizzy type stuff, but the theory is true, trust me. He said ready, and then the final stroke was the cat went into the car after being swung around and around for a good minute or so. Cat went in, door got shut, and we watched the action. The cat went absolutely ferral... and I mean ferral. It destroyed every inch of the upholstery within that car, dash, seats, roof the lot. The cat went apeshit... not one part of the interior wasn't ripped, holed or scratched.
I had heard of the theory before this, neither of us knew for sure, but we found out that night that the myth was fact.
