OMG, Nick, that has to be one of the worst I have ever heard of. And his
girlfriend VIDEOTAPED it.

I feel so sick, and so badly for that poor cat! A prison sentence is not
enough for that unbelievably sadistic waste of humanity! How could anyone
do such a thing.........I am wiping tears from my face, thinking of all that
poor creature of God suffered.

Misdemeanors! What a joke! If he did such atrocious things to a cat I
wonder whose small children he has focused on!

Even though I do not believe in violence, I am all too willing to put this
man in a room with a bunch of vigilantes and let him take his justice.

How could anyone sodomize that poor cat while it screamed in pain? The list
of injuries is phenomenal? I'd love to have the judge disbarred for that
ludicrously lenient sentence.

Actually, based on the description, she audiotaped it. Remember that
what was described on the tape were *sounds*, not images. Since he
physically abused his girlfriend, her using a video camera would have
been too obvious. She probably taped it on audiocassette surreptitiously.

Or eventually would/will be focusing on.

I'm no fan of capital punishment or punitive torture, but this is one of
those cases where it's terribly difficult for me not to indulge in the
"eye for an eye" philosophy.

The problem might be more with the laws on the books. In many states
animal abuse is always still a misdemeanor, no matter how many times the
individual commits it or how horrific the abuse is. But more and more
states are changing their positions. Here in Illinois, for example,
animal abuse was bumped up to a possible felony charge for a first
offense, depending on the severity of the abuse, and a mandatory felony
for subsequent offenses.

How on earth can someone do that? They should face the same. I accedently
trip over one of my cats or dogs at times and they yelp, i feel so bad!!
What would make someone hurt them on purpose?

I am in australia, in the last few months 3 cat abuse cases have come up. On
didnt say much, just that the bodies were hung up on a fence of a school,
the other was 3 teenagers attcking a kitten at a railway station, the poor
kitty did make it (was all caught on security cameras so they got to him
before he was killed) and the other some boys set a kitten alight.

He suffered 50% burns and didnt make it. One of the boys got 3 years
jail.... only to appeal and get only 100 hours of community work.

My new cat I got was abused, I dont know much of the story, but i bet my
life it was by a male. I just had my grandfather and father here and she was
shaking with fear, was ok around mum and the girls....

People make me SICK.
