Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Man Gets Prison For Killing Kittens
HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- A Maryland man has been sentenced to nearly a year in prison for killing four of his girlfriend's kittens by throwing them into a fire. Robert Tomlin has been ordered to spend 341 days in prison for violating his probation by moving back in with Kelli Green and her five remaining cats after he pleaded guilty in November to aggravated animal cruelty. Under a plea bargain, Tomlin was supposed to have avoided contact with Green and her animals. Green said they both were drunk the night the cats died and she barely remembers what happened http://www.local6.com:80/news/10968077/detail.html?treets=orlpn&tid=265305504881 3&tml=orlpn_dailyforecast&tmi=orlpn_dailyforecast_1_04000202092007&ts=H > HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- A Maryland man has been sentenced to nearly a year > in prison for killing four of his girlfriend's kittens by throwing [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Green said they both were drunk the night the cats died and she barely > remembers what happened http://www.local6.com:80/news/10968077/detail.html?treets=orlpn&tid=265305504881 3&tml=orlpn_dailyforecast&tmi=orlpn_dailyforecast_1_04000202092007&ts=H Why in the hell did she let him move back in?! Sometimes I just want to shake the crap out of stupid women like this.

Sounds like she's not a great cat person candidate in the first place if she could allow such a thing to happen to ANY animal in her care. I can't stand thinking of the pain and fear those poor kittens went through. Melissa > Me too, Jill.

Yeah - somehow "We were both kinda drunk" doesn't strike me as much of an excuse for ANYTHING! >Yeah - somehow "We were both kinda drunk" doesn't strike me >as much of an excuse for ANYTHING! It's certainly not an excuse At least he got prison through. Last week over here a woman walked free after being convicted of putting her boyfriends 6-year old deaf cat into a washing machine. Cat died of massive heart attack and scalding, RSPCA said the poor cat must have suffered terribly. Her defence was she was depresssed at the time. Yet she did that and then calmly called the guy and told him what she had just done and admitted it was out of spite. People like that make me despair of the Human race Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- A Maryland man has been sentenced to nearly a year in > prison for killing four of his girlfriend's kittens by throwing them into a [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > http://www.local6.com:80/news/10968077/detail.html?treets=orlpn&tid=2... Was Green sentenced? Will she be allowed to acquire any more animals, other than her next boyfriend who will probably throw HER into a fire? I wonder if I could get sentenced to the same prison as this Tomlin guy. I have to go visit my brother in Maryland anyway. Holding up a gas station wouldn't take that long.

It's just too bad SHE wasn't given a prison sentence for sheer stupidity. I don't get this, I really don't. I've visited with the people from the battered women's shelter here a lot, because we board their animals for them. I just don't understand the psychological hold that some women let abusive guys get hold on them. I can say with some certainty that if someone threw my cats in a fire I'd end up in prison.. Nothing would make me lose control worse than someone torturing a helpless kitten/puppy/child/elderly person etc.etc. Gah! This burns me up just reading about it.

I agree thuogh that this man shoudl have a very 'special' cellmate, get a taste of his own medicine. this story just makes me feel physically sick to think about it, they both should have been locked up, absolutely nasty. bookie > the sentence he got is nowhere near long enough, I mean how many > innocent lives did he snuff out? lets hope that neither him nor his > obviously retarded girlfirend ever have kids (either with each other > or different partners) and that their genes die with them. I honestly believe that people that commit this sort of crime should be sterilized.

I'd be the FIRST to agree, these people have *no* business having children, for sure! Unfortunately, the court doesn't order people to refrain from reproduction. I need to drop this thread. I'm getting "het up" all over again.

A nasty case in Britain this week has been preying on my mind, a couple tortured their 4 year old disabled daughter almost to death.
