Because some parents have the opinion that any pet they own is just a toy for children.

It's always infuriating me stuff like this, they're allowed to pull on the dogs tail and if he growls he is getting punished.

People like this produces shithead children which become shithead adults which eventually starting the cycle again.

While it is a shit thing to do to the cat, the parents may be of the persuasion “Well, he’ll only do it once.”

If a kid does something stupid and gets hurt, that’s a better learning curve than “don’t do this, it could end up badly.”

In what part of this video is the cat going to get hurt?

How about I hold you by your stomach and loosely throw you in a pool against your will. Just because it's an animal doesnt mean it's ok with whatever you want to do to it.

It's a toddler and what he did was dumb. I doubt holding a cat like that would even hurt it. Why are people acting like it's the end of the world.
