Cat Forum / General Topics / July 2003There are too many jokes here for me to control myself. Just a minute while I use the facilities
http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_2077501,00.html Another mutilated cat was found in Denver Sunday, bringing the total of cat mutilations in the metro area over the past year to 39, according to Aurora police. The dead cat was found at 8th Avenue Park, 8th Avenue and Syracuse Street, about a mile west of Aurora - the city where most of cat killings have occurred. Denver police declined to release specifics about the condition of the cat, other than that a Denver police officer found the carcass about 8:30 a.m. "We are not releasing any of the details of how the cats were found," Aurora police spokeswoman Kathleen Walsh said. "We are considering this a suspicious occurrence. We can't determine the exact cause of death until the necropsy." Aurora police are leading a task force that is investigating the string of cat mutilations. The task force includes animal control officers and representatives from area police departments and the Denver Dumb Friends League. Meanwhile, it was determined that one of two maimed cats found Saturday in Aurora was killed by an animal and will not be counted in the string of cat slayings, Walsh said. The other cat will be included, however. In most of the cases, the cats have been sliced open and their internal organs removed. "We have seen a pattern," Walsh said. "This is a crime and we need to find who is responsible." The cat mutilation cases are being taken so seriously, in part, because animal mutilation is one of three childhood symptoms that criminologists say are major danger signals that someone could grow up to be a serial killer. The other two are bed-wetting and fire-starting. In Utah, authorities in the Salt Lake City area also are investigating a string of a dozen or so similar cat mutilations. Walsh said citizens should take Aurora's cat-at-large ordinance seriously. The municipal law requires cat owners to keep their pets on their property. Walsh urged citizens to contact their local police department if a mutilated cat is found. "If you come across a carcass, we ask you don't touch it," Walsh said. "We like the public to be our eyes and ears." Anyone with information about these or other mutilation cases should call the Aurora Police Department at (303) 365-2844. The Denver Dumb Friends League is offering a $12,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible. > http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_2077501,00.html > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > representatives from area police departments and the Denver Dumb Friends > League.

The owners let them roam free so they can dig up your flower beds and bury their crap in them. Dogs could never get away with the complete freedom that cats are given all the time. > Walsh urged citizens to contact their local police department if a > mutilated cat is found. > > "If you come across a carcass, we ask you don't touch it," Walsh said.

Are they serious about this name of their organization? This is as stupid as the "Senior Housing and Assistance Group", SHAG, that Stuart Anderson is always going on about on those commercials.

I've had kids who wet the bed, none of them mutilate animals. -------------------------------------------- To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. >"The cat mutilation cases are being taken so seriously, in >part, because animal mutilation is one of three childhood [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >I've had kids who wet the bed, none of them mutilate >animals.

Not true. | -------------------------------------------- I think what the author was trying to say is that bed wetting is one of 3 criteria when they look at serial killers like Jeffry Dalmer. When he was a small child, he wet the bed, mutilated animals and played with fire. He grew into one of the most notorious serial killers of our time. The author was not saying that *all* children who wet the bed are going to become social deviants. What he/she was saying is that the combination of all 3 deviations from what is considered normal are very good indications that this child may have some serious future emotional problems. -- Hugs, Lynn sewfinefashions@shawCLOTHES.ca *strip CLOTHES to reply* Homepage: http://members.shaw.ca/sewfinefashions/ See my boys: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/papavince_29/ >I think what the author was trying to say is that bed wetting is one of 3 criteria when >they look at serial killers like Jeffry Dalmer.

Then maybe the author should have phrased it diffrently. Where I've had kids who wet the bed I found his generalizations offensive. -------------------------------------------- To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. | Then maybe the author should have phrased it diffrently. | Where I've had kids who wet the bed I found his | generalizations offensive. I agree that sometimes these "blanket" statements can be annoying and quite often offensive.

Not true. In fact, nothing of the sort was implied. It was factually stated that bed wetting, fire starting, and animal mutilations as a child, or some combination thereof, are often found to have been childhood behaviours in adults who've grown up to be killers.

It would be interesting to research. It's something I'm interested in, and has been extensively researched. You've not going to ask me to "site my sources" like...well...someone, are you? *grin* I'm currently reading a new theory about Jack The Ripper. Dee >It's something I'm interested in, and has been extensively researched. >You've not going to ask me to "site my sources" like...well...someone, are >you? *grin* I'm currently reading a new theory about Jack The Ripper. > >Dee One of the reasons it iinterests me is the one or two animal abuse cases we get every year or so involving children. This is *not* a statistic, just an observation of the oh, fewer than a dozen I have seen over the years. They're all male. They're all less than 15 years old. They all, except for one case, involved a "pair" of kids, or three kids. Only one acted alone. Last but nnot least, they ALL got off withh a slap on the wrist and released to their parents. We lobby hard for mandatory counseling. I think it's crucial.

And um, how do you know? Most little psycho kids who mutilate an animal aren't going to run home yelling "daddy, daddy, guess what I did!" I know someone who is currently in prison for three life sentences for murder who exhibited these behaviours as a child.

Ladies take note: One more reason (as if you needed another) to find a man who loves your cats.
