   When I think of animal cruelty I think of torture rather than death. The cat obviously did not want to go skydiving. Plenty of homeless cats and dogs have to be put to sleep by the humane shelter every year because there are just too many of them. This does not mean they are thrown off cliffs or out of planes, it means they are euthanised in a manner that is as painless as possible.

I think that there are far worse things happening to animals then this.

I agree. That is why this section is so important. If you want to bring up cases of animal cruelty, feel free to. The only thing I will suggest though is for cases where people post animal cruelty on youtube we need to be careful that we don't give them the attention that they want or they might make more videos.

Ari:
Come to think of it, that cat does look rather petrified before the jump, looking around as if asking, "what the hell are you doing to me."

Rubystars:
I hate this. I think the thing that sealed it for me was when the cat started struggling when they were about to go over the edge. Natural instinct and fear kicked in.

Boeregeneraal:
yes exactly

HiWarp:
That cat looked terrified.  There's no good reason to take your cat skydiving unless you enjoy seeing her panic.
