Before answering the question bare this in mind:
- Last year in my village where I live in Cardiff, an old man was tripped up and put into a coma.
- A few months ago at my sister's school, a frog was found, thrown into some stingy nettles, stamped on then used as a football whilst still alive.
- Last month some drunken youthes at a nearby train station threw a rock at a squirrel then pushed it onto a track and let it get squelched.
- On the weekend some kids broke into my village youth centre trashed the place, found a rodent and battered and microwaved it till it exploded, again whilst alive.
- A little while ago last christmas, some kids rat-a-tat-tatted on a local old chinese man and then when he went out to see who it was slammed his door shut and ran
- Today my sister came in and told me some of her fellow 10 year old friends had put a jack russell in a bag with a baby fox and let the dog rip the foxes jaw off and then battered the fox whilst still alive in the bag against a tree trunk.
All this in the space of a year or so involving young children in Cardiff alone.
