The Avenger Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Absolutely insane documentary on Netflix called Don't F with Cats....all I can say is wow after being sucked in to watching all 3 parts (about 3 hours in total). No spoilers but this is a documentary that you can't believe isn't just some sick Hollywood movie. It starts with a sicko posting a movie on the Internet of him killing kittens (you don't see the movie) that launches a campaign by average netizens to find him and bring him to justice and just gets crazier and crazier. Although you don't see any if the deeply disturbing videos in graphic detail they are described so if you have a tough time with even grasping such dark behavior you might want to pass. If you can handle it this is a really strong documentary - it's got a lot of people talking. Edited December 30, 2019 by The Avenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guffalo Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Im no fan of cats, but I just don't see any reason to kill a harmless animal. I think I may be interested in finding the idiots that torture the cats and give them a bit of thier own medecine, but I would think Karma will take care of it in due time.

Turk71 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Killing cats was the reason the bubonic plague raged out of control, ravaging Europe killing 30 to 60% of the population. Church declared cats aligned with Satan and evil, the rat population exploded and millions died. Don't ***** with cats indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 2 cats, had 3. I'd give them 1/2 a day before a coyote got to them... Maybe 2 days with the one... He's a bit smarter than others. And wasn't the Plague caused by fleas?

Yes, fleas transmitted the plague. The rats carried the fleas. Recent studies suggest poor hygiene amongst the humans of the day who also carried the fleas was a big factor. I was only kidding about the plague raging again. Modern medicine, sanitation and hygiene would keep it from getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could help explain why the wild rabbit population is booming. I also wonder if cats could slow the advance of Lyme disease by killing the mice that are part of the tick’s life cycle. There’s always a trade off.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty scared when I started watching it that they would actually show some of this stuff, it would be burned into my mind forever and I'd have to turn it off (I had the remote at the ready). You know what he did but you don't see anything graphic - they take you right to the line (at least my line). It reminded me of Schindler's List - you certainly understood the brutality and inhumanity and there were some graphic parts but you are shielded from the most graphic. That scene where they all herded into he showers and you think, there's no way they're going to show this, right? I mean Spielberg's a great director and I can take a lot of stuff but there's absolutely no way I can watch that - I'm closing my eyes and walking out, only to find water comes out and these really are showers. (I hope nobody take offense at this comparison - I am comparing the movies, not equating cats to Holocaust victims). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) People like this need to be removed from society and quite frankly the earth in general. As far as I'm concerned sooner rather than later. The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs started by killing and torturing cats and ended being the the most sadistic criminals I've ever heard of.

While the filmmakers don’t show the entirety of the acts themselves, they show enough and it’s beyond horrifying none the less. Beyond comprehension.

K-9 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Just now, The Avenger said: I think you just figured out what the documentary is really about.... I think the documentary was about several things, that aspect being one of them. The research showing the relationship between the killing of animals and serial killers has been known for a while now. From the opening scene of the documentary, we knew that if he hadn’t already killed a person, it was only a matter of time before he graduated. Psychopaths, especially intelligent ones, don’t always provide tell tale clues like this person. Authorities need to take these acts seriously, investigate, catalogue and monitor individuals who commit them when caught or reported on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The documentary is not about the sadistic acts of a cat torturer. It's really about human nature as seen through the actions of the mob that forms online to track the guy down and punish him for his evil deeds. Sounds very interesting to me.
