Animal abuse is usually illegal, and especially to target an animal that is regarded as a pet makes it more the inhumane. However, there are plenty of games that promote violence in our culture, but do we need yet another one? I don't think so.

They are free to make it, but they also take the responsibility of releasing it. Perhaps from a corporate stance, it may be about social responsibility. However, I mean personal: do you honestly think that putting that forth in the world will result in anything good? Most likely, it will come back to them in one bad form or another.

Or, to make a point, how about further games to sell:

   Rape the bitch
   KKK Kross Alley
   Stone the Adulterer
   Spics Kikes and Pikeys
   Skinhead adventures
   Hitler's Easy Bake oven
I mean, if we dont take responsibility for our own actions, who will?

You are simply extending the argument to ridiculousness to make a point. What about the game angry birds? It features suicidal birds with bombs strapped to them that you fling into buildings to kill pigs.
It's a stupid, highly overrated game for sheeple.
That was arrogant, but to make you happy, why don't we just call this game a "highly overrated game for sheeple" too and let it slide?

Are you one of those people who believe GTA makes kids steal cars, or that sonic the hedgehog makes kids run into walls and try to loop around their ceiling?

"sheeple" Oh, you're just trolling. It's more fun if you keep it subtle.
Do you object similarly to Whac-A-Mole? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whack_a_mole I presume that's what Whack-a-Kitty is based off of.

As I've said elsewhere in this thread, I don't think it's a great name for a variety of reasons, but it's a bit of a stretch to say a guy that's got an app with a tone-deaf name is being irresponsible and to suggest to him that he could also make Rape-the-Bitch.
