Firemen Rescue Flushed Kitten

That's how serial killers get started.

Clearly the child is a dog lover.

Yeah, let the psycho kid hold the cat she flushed down the toilet. Smart.

So what percentage of kittens put in a toilet will flush?

What a demented photo. Yeah, lets give the little girl BACK the kitten she just flushed down the toilet.
Seriously WTF?? Shouldn't a 3yo know better by then than to do something like that??

While I would not expect a three year old to know any better. I would think the parent would know that a kitten is not appropriate to have in the home anymore.

Jesus Christ. So much wrong in all this. I hope she grows up, sees all this and is ashamed.

Your Aussie tax dollars at work.

the kitten should have been euthanized and the child be made to understand what her actions caused.

I just don't understand the thought process of the child. I remember when I was three and I had a pet preying mantis that I took care of. Maybe she has a mental problem; if so poo poo on the mother for being an idiot.

@absolin
"the kitten should have been euthanized..."

???

My faith in humanity was restored a little bit when I came here and saw that everyone agreed w/ me that there is something wrong w/ either the kid or the parents instead of defending the little girl

and I think absolin was being partly humorous

But will it blend?

They must have seriously powerful toilets in Australia if a kitten can actually successfully flush..
how the hell did it not drown?

AND THEY GAVE IT BACK TO HER????

WHAT?

There is something seriously wrong with that child.

I love how damning so many people are over the actions of a freaking 3 year old.

SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE AND LOCK THAT SICK **** AWAY FOR THE REST OF HER UNNATURAL LIFE!!

Seriously, she's three guys. You all were probably busy eating dirt when you were her age.

Remember "The Bad Seed"?

Keep the mogg, flush the kid.....

Shoot the child.

@Coldfusion - there's not much water in toilet plumbing:

This is a teaching experience. Yes, it's horrible that a 3-year-old flushed a live kitten down a toilet. However, when I was her age, I attempted to put a puppy on a gas grill. The cover was closed but still hot. My rationale was that the puppies had just been bathed and I thought the grill would help to dry them. My dad caught me in time as I was trying to lift the cover--thank goodness--and then sternly impressed upon me that my well-meaning idea would have hurt the puppy badly. So I learned at a very young age to treat animals as I would want to be treated. And to this day I love animals and well, just didn't turn out to be a serial killer. So if this little girl has some good and conscientious parents, this is their opportunity to make sure she never does anything like this again. Lessons can be taught to children in a firm but loving manner, but it's the children who never learn not to do something because it could hurt someone else--or care that it could hurt someone else--who grow up to be sociopaths.

And P.S. I don't think the photo-op of her holding the wet kitten with a grin on her face is very cute, either.

The real problem here is that people get some great idea in their head that a 3 year old is mature enough to take care of an animal.

Sometimes kids treat their pets like s--t.

I hope the child was beaten mercilessly.

Just look at the clownish grin of that DEVIL child...

And how the hell can the ****ing moron parents want the rest of the world to see this? What their beast of a child did (is)? Because they worship everything their genious angel child does, I'm sure. PUKE.

i'd shove her head into the toilet repeatedly and then piss on her rug.

i think we have to bring back a childhood classic and give that kid a swirly.

Stupid ****ing kid. killer in the making

Stupid kid.
I agree with people, kids can treat their pets like crap. They should be taught to treat any pet with love and respect. Just like anybody/anything.

can I please smack that stupid little brat and flush her down the toilet!?? Poor kitten!!

I read all the comments on the original article at the link... seems that the majority of the locals think that it's normal/understandable that a 3-year-old would flush any number of random things down a toilet. Seriously? I don't have kids, but none of my friends with kids have ever mentioned theirs flushing anything down a toilet, living or otherwise. WTF is wrong with those people down under??
