After hearing of this, everyone should support the death penalty - only
it should be carried out in a very large frying pan.

I have long held the view that a person who commits evil acts against
animals would be capable of the same cruelty towards humans.  I would fry
the bastard and I don't mean in "old sparky".

Many a serial killer honed their skills with the killiing of animals.

The perp should get the death penalty but it won't happen in my
lifetime.  The perp will be lucky to get jail time, and even that
isn't a guarantee.   In some jurisdictions the perp will get no
jail time.  (After all in the eyes of the law the animal is
property.  This slowly changing but the change is very slow
in coming.)

I was reading a number of accounts of this story, apparently it
occurred on Monday, he was to be araigned on Tuesday.   Today is
Friday.  No details on the dispensation of the case.

One thing I gathered from the accounts is the fryer is a
homeless man, the apartment thenant took him in when they
encountered each other at the local bus stop.  

I keep seeing the quote that this was the worst animal abuse they
had seen.  Where this guy is homeless could he have been
blind/so high on drugs/alchohol/so hungry/dehydrated that
he had no clue what he was picking up/doing?

I could easily see this person going to a mental hospital/
homeless shelter and avoiding any charges.  

The more I read about it the more it sounds
like the perp didn't know or comprehend
what he was doing.  Being homeless/hungry/
dehydrated for the last month will do stuff
like that to you.  

If it was animal abuse i'd be the first one
to scream throw the guy in jail but i'm not
convinced yet that it was animal abuse.

Today is Friday, he was araigned Tuesday.
I find it odd there are no reports of
how the araignment went.  Maybe at araignment
he was sent over for 10/30 days observation
at the local mental health facility?

People who commit such horrible acts against innocent animals deserve
FAR worse than our joke of a legal system gives them. Animal abusers
are lower than pedophiles, they commit acts against victims more
innocent than children. The same applys to a.sholes who work in
slaughter houses and factory farms

If someone ever did something to my pets, that someone would very
easily wind up in the hospital. What ever legal repercussions that
happen to me are irrelevant.

This is an excellent site that will give you the latest news regarding
animal abuse cases around the US and abroad.

But the more I read about this case the more it xcreams out something
is missing.

Like maybe he is mentally challenged, blind, etc.?

I'm not ready to say it is animal abuse.  

The actions aren't consitant with animal abuse.

"The (visitor) started taking his clothes off, took two kittens, put
them in the frying pan with the hot oil and pork chops and began
swishing them around," said Charles Loubert Sr., an animal control
officer. "Then he threw one kitten on the floor and he took the other
one and wiped it off on the wall. Then he put three more kittens into
the frying pan."

And animal abuse case I would expect would have meant the kittens
would have remained in the frying pan and sustained burns.  

The idea that he too the kittens out tells me maybe he is blind
and sensed something was wrong?

I don't like animal abuse but something in this isn't adding up.

Maybe while he was cooking he thought rats had gotten into his
frying pan?

Maybe he didn't know they were kittens?

Luckily they kittens did not suffer serious harm.  That is first in my
concerns.  I also agree this person sounds disturbed and not fully aware of
what was going on.  For those not willing to forestall their judgment,
there are lot of sick people living on the streets as homeless people.  
Some can't get help and some just wont.  When you tell me you love animals
and don't have a spark of compassion left for humans in bad straights don't
expect me to be impressed.

I would point out some of the homeless today are mental
patients who should have stayed in a mental hospital
but in the inifinite wisdom of the goverment were
just dumped out on the street to fend for themselves.

I'd also add a percentage of the homeless are veterans
who the country abandoned after the war ended.

Another percentage are families with kids, mom and dad
work full time and they are still homeless.

How did we get from the original post of "Kittens Thrown in Frying Pan
in N.Y." to homelessness ????

Maybe you should change the subject line or find a group about
homeless persons.

Man fry's kittens -> maybe man is homeless mental case -> homeless
people.

Because I brought up the idea.   I read the original news reports,
I'm wondering if rather than a straight animal abuse case if
this isn't really a case of a homeless/bline man who really
needs proper care and for whatever reason was tossed out on
the street years ago?

>Maybe you should change the subject line or find a group about
>homeless persons.
Maybe we need more facts before we condemn this guy as an
animal abuser?

I don't like animal abusers but i'm also not ready to
throw this guy in jail when maybe his only crime was
being homeless/hungry/dehydrated/blind.

In the US we have this old fashioned concept of
your INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

Bear in mind though the legal system in the US of A treats animals
as property.   You may  get a few years in jail but in some
jurisdictions you'll get no jail time.  

It's slowly changing and courts are starting to award
damages for emotional distress from the loss of your
pet but that is moving along very slowly.  

As much as I'd like to see animal abusers get the death
penalty it will never happne in my lifetime.

And who would take car of your pet if you're in jail for
assaulting/kiling an animal abuser?

If the guy suffers with a mental illness then it is very likely that he had
no control over his actions, terrible thing though for him and the kittens.

Go to the library and read up on metal illeness, homelessness,
and how they were handled under budget cuts.

Maybe you should crawl out from under your rock and visit
a city that has a homeless population.

Not everyone is as rich as you are.

I'm sitting here on Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz, south of San
Francisco. I see hundreds of beggars, drifters, negroes, layabouts,
"homeless activists" ("Food Not Bombs"), petition-seekers ("Prop 87
would force the oil companies to pay more taxes!"), Rastafarians, crazy
people muttering to themselves, a male who wears a pink dress and walks
very slowly--all day--under a parasol, Mexican gangbangers in town for
tonight's drive-bys, queer activists, bums, winos, and assorted Gen Y
kids spending Dad's money.

courtesy of our tax dollars....)

I would point out a number of those homeless spent a good number
of years fighting to defend your rights in a war and how does this
country repay them?   We toss them out on the street like garbage.

Or we ship their jobs off to Mexico and other countries.

>("Food Not Bombs"), petition-seekers ("Prop 87
>would force the oil companies to pay more taxes!"),
Here is a radical thought: maybe they should.  A number of
years ago an oil company alledgedly spilled a thousand gallons
of oil in the canal here.  Turns out the spill was
actually one hundred thousand gallons and the oil company
spent exactly zero dollars cleaning it up.  

And this while the oil companies are making record profits,
the CEO or Exxon made $400 million +, and around here alot
of people are going to freeze to death in the winter.

Oh and lets not forget the CEO of Exxon while making his
$400 million will scream bloody murder at raising the
miminum wage for the labor at his gas stations.

If you don't like it why not chase the "American dream", get a better job
and move to a different area, mind I am inclined to agree I was in San
Francisco and I thought it was a shithole and that was back in 1990, who
knows what it is like now.  You should get on to your democratically elected
Government and tell them to stop putting the rest of the world right and
solve your own countries downfall into a sea of effluent.  It would make
much more sense than posting on a cats NG for crying out loud, or trying to
bait me.  I hope the people you mentioned in your reply rob you blind and
then sodomise you for being such a simpleton, let me assure you my countries
rulers have been around for centuries but we have not got anywhere near the
problems you have, San Francisco is not that old in comparison.

And chances are if he is mentally ill he was in a hospital until the
80s/90s when he would have been tossed out into the street.

Never mind that the illness remained, that he was a danger
to himself and to others.

I read the story.
Thank goodness the kittens were not more seriously injured.
The man was obvously suffering from some mental disorder and didn't
have any idea as to what he was actually doing.
That said, he probably won't be outside roaming around for awhile until
his mental disorder is fully addressed.

I was reading the story.....my guess is the perp will never see jail
time......not competent to stand trial.

I also have several questions:
1.  The perp took his clothes off and then threw the kittens in the
frying pan.  What is up with that?
2.  He threw one kiteen on the floor and wiped the other one on the
wall.  What is up with that?
3.  They don't say in the article but was this person mentally
challenged/blind?  And coudl the person who left the apartment
be liable for leaving the kitchen unattended and leaving a
blind/mentally challenged individual alone?

For me there are too many unsanswered questions.  

Maybe this person was blind and thought he picked up another
pork chop?
