Re: Cat Microwave Question More Explicitly Stated
I'd hand him a second cat and cut off both his hands. Bingo no repeat offenders and my work is done for the day.
Damn being a super hero kicks ass

Re: Cat Microwave Question More Explicitly Stated
I think the question needs to stipulate the fact that there will be no other punishment besides the man losing his hand. No one will be around as a witness and no criminal charges will be pressed.
I still think inspite of this that a hand is probably a bit much. A finger seems more appropriate. If he does it again then take his hand. If we could punish him by our laws then I would go that route.

Re: Cat Microwave Question More Explicitly Stated
I'd save the cat, f the guys hand because he's obviously a dick if he's torturing a cat. I consider cruelty morally wrong so he gets punished - oh well.
On the other hand if I knew the cat to be a bastard (microwaving mice or something) then I may not save it.

Re: Cat Microwave Question More Explicitly Stated
I don't think this question is about punishmnent.
Most people don't want to cut off another person's hand. But would you go this far to save a cat? He's not asking if someone who tortures a cat deserves their hand removed, is he? I'm wondering how differently people would have responded if he replaced cat with dog?

I'm wondering how differently people would have responded if he replaced cat with dog? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I was thinking the same thing... - Ok. Some philosophers might argue that it is wrong to interfere with another man's actions. Therefore, stopping the man from killing the cat would be considered wrong. However, the man has already interfered with your life by inserting thoughts of pain/cruelty into your mind (by preparing to kill the cat)... So. What now? hmmm... What would Jesus do? Judging from many Bible stories I imagine Jesus would not do anything to this man. He would let him kill the cat knowing that the man would someday get what he deserved (hell)... If you dont believe in Hell, then maybe you believe in bad carma or "what goes around comes around". Therefore it might be wise to let the man kill the cat as he will probably suffer later in life for his actions... But if you decide to cut off his hand, then maybe you could make it up to him by putting his hand in the microwave. This way he still gets to see a show and you can still be buddies. (love the books David. Im on page 139 of "Hold Em Poker".)

Re: Cat Microwave Question More Explicitly Stated
If my only options are hack off hand/not hack off hand (as opposed to calling the police, beating him up, saving the cat, blah blah blah), then I have to go with:
Not hack off hand. Would I want to hack off his hand? Most certainly. Just like I would literally kill that lady that was recently on trial for drowning all her kids. But, I'm not allowed to kill her because we have a system in place for dealing with things. Why even have laws to protect us, and a system in place for delivering justice (hey, it's not perfect, but could it ever be?) if we can't abide by it? Lastly, there are two main reasons you should not hack off his hand. One...you're not Police Enforcement or the Law, you have no right to take the law into your own "hands." And, Two...he is going to sue your @$$, and I'm about 85% sure he would win a substantial amount of money off of you.
