hopefully not old but WTF. http://www.buffalonews.com/city/article97630.ece
Quote : | "Buffalo police rescued a cat from a Cheektowaga man who apparently was planning to make a meal out of his pet because he thought it was ill-tempered, authorities said Monday.
When Ferry-Fillmore District officers pulled over a car driven by Gary L. Korkuc on Sunday night during a traffic stop, they said they heard a cat crying from inside the trunk and investigated.
What they found has left animal lovers at the SPCA Serving Erie County in shock.
The cat, according to police, was in a cage “marinating” in a mixture of crushed red peppers, chili pepper, salt and oil.
“It’s disgusting. It surprises me every day what people are capable of when it comes to violence, whether it is animals or people,” said Gina M. Browning, the SPCA’s director of public relations. “I’ve never heard of anything like this before.”
Korkuc, 51, was arrested on one count of cruelty to animals by Officers Jerry Guilian and John Poisson, shortly after he was stopped on the 1100 block of Broadway at about 7:45 p. m. for allegedly passing a stop sign.
Police took the 4-year-old cat to the SPCA on Ensminger Road in the Town of Tonawanda, where Korkuc had adopted it May 11. He told police the cat had been “mean” to him, authorities said.
In condemning the treatment of the cat, whose name is Navarro, Browning read from an SPCA memo put together in part from information provided by the officers and shelter staff:
“Do not under any circumstances adopt to this man ever again. He claims he did not want the cat because it was ‘possessive, greedy and wasteful.’ That the cat got pregnant after ‘spaying,’ even though it was a neutered male. This man is a danger to animals. . . . was soaking cat in marinade to ‘cook.’ ”
Workers at the SPCA gave Navarro two baths Sunday night to clean the spices off and were letting him calm down before bathing him again, Browning said late Monday, adding that the cat is adjusting well.
“We can learn lessons in resiliency. He is purring away and getting ready for his next checkup. He’s looking around like, ‘What am I doing here?’ He might be put [back] up for adoption,” Browning said.
Praising Guilian and Poisson, she added, “Thank God that police heard him. Thank God those cops took the initiative. By all appearances that cat may have wound up dead.”
Korkuc was also charged with passing a stop sign and failure to signal. After his arrest, he was later released on an appearance ticket.
Navarro has black and white markings, weighs 12 pounds and is described as having a good disposition. Adoption hours today at the SPCA, 205 Ensminger, are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m." |

What the fuck is wrong with people?
Also, that cat has huge and adorable eyes.
Also, lol: He claims he did not want the cat because it was ‘possessive, greedy and wasteful.’ That the cat got pregnant after ‘spaying,’ even though it was a neutered male. 8/10/2010 4:41:51 PM |

While I don't see anything wrong with killing the cat and eating it, you don't marinate live animals. A live animal laying in crushed red peppers is not humane, nor will it effectively marinate meat that has yet to be skinned.
Sounds like this guy is just a nutjob.

^^ I agree. If the guy gave the cat a quick bullet to the head to put it down, de-skinned it, and ate the cat, I see nothing wrong with that.
I don't see it as being any more wrong than putting a bullet in a cow and eat it. Just because a cat "looks adorable" doesn't suddenly make it morally right. 8/10/2010 5:21:01 PM |

well i'm pretty sure when you adopt a cat from the shelter you sign some agreement saying you'll do x, y and z for it and if you can't take care of it you will surrender it, etc (cause i know i did). so surely killing your adopted pet is against that agreement. 8/10/2010 5:23:01 PM |

Who the fuck marinates something alive? I'm going go buy a live chicken, marinate it, and then chop it's head off, pluck it, skin it, and cook it.
Plus wouldn't the cat have pissed and possibly shitted in the marinade? 8/10/2010 5:25:58 PM |

I'd eat a cat...I wouldn't eat a pet, i've often wondered what animals that are common pets taste like plenty of people around the world eat cat 8/10/2010 11:02:52 PM |
khcadwal All American 35165 Posts user info edit post |
yea people around the world eat lots of things - cat, dog, horse, etc, etc, etc
i think the difference here is a) this guy seems legit insane and b) he didn't have the cat specifically to eat it - he was eating it because it was his pet and it was too "possessive and greedy" and c) he was marinating it alive
a + b + c doesn't seem to me that he is a reasonable person capable of making rational decisions and humanely killing an animal to eat it 8/10/2010 11:11:51 PM |
