Hey Suz,
I join you in your horror and disgust at the senseless torture of this little one and your indignation that there is an "audience" for this sort of depravity
(and youtube turning a blind eye)
the good news is that there is video footage of this event, and the authorities may be able to use it to prosecute this cretin
it reminds me of a commercial here for the aspca, where haunting background music accompanies images of abused and neglected animals asking "why do they beat me"? and "will I ever get out of this cage"..... (sniffly just writing the words)
with that I can only turn to mine and promise them that they will NEVER be subjected to that, not as long as I walk this earth, they are [b]one less[b]
and that I (and you

) will advocate for them, educate others and ourselves about ways in which we can help and someday bring an end to this sort of madness, or at least let the perpetrators know in no uncertain terms that this will no longer be tolerated
as a teacher, a dearest wish of mine is that some of my love and enthusiasm for our companion animals in particular has translated into grown men and women with a real love and respect for the ones we share the planet with
we can hope, right?

(how is our Jennie?)
