also its not just those with low iq or deprived background who perpetrate such acts - when i was a ranger a number of the little scrotes we caught doing such things (including crucifying a goose on a tree, setting dogs on a rabbit that had been tethered so it couldnt run, shooting at horses with air rifles, setting fire to a sheep, and feeding paracetemol laced bread to swans) were from what would typically be considered "good" homes - the sons of teachers, doctors, architects, lawyers etc - the latter were the worst as they had an enourmouse sense that "daddy" would get them off

We seem to always blame kids and youths for this sort of behaviour, granted kids will do rotten things, if they are not taught aright. This I think, is more to do with money. The fox portrayed was probably captured by a bunch of local men with the intent of making a profit. Luckily for the poor creature it had the chance to gnaw through the leather part of its fetters and get away. More fortunately for the fox it was discovered by intelligent caring people. It could have run off, got tangled and starved to death. A miserable way to go.
The RSPCA has greater powers now than before, but the courts still make a mockery of the valiant work done. This is something that needs changing and right soon. Not a mere fine and a minor gaol sentence, something more and drastic.
Oh and contrary to my earlier post - shooting is too good for them!
