"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."

He forgot the lime for his marinade.

8/10/2010 4:41:01 PM

out of curiosity would it be cruelty to animals if i humanly put my pet down and then cooked it and ate it?

8/10/2010 4:41:06 PM

Really, kitteh?

I thought you were better than that

8/10/2010 4:41:17 PM

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

I'd say the owner was just trying to.... ...spice things up.

8/10/2010 4:42:22 PM

lol - i wonder what the kitty was possessive of? its toys? the window sill?

8/10/2010 4:42:57 PM

The guy's soul, obviously.

8/10/2010 4:45:54 PM

The sunny spot on the floor. He always hogged it all.

8/10/2010 4:47:13 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.

[Edited on August 10, 2010 at 4:58 PM. Reason : a]

8/10/2010 4:57:56 PM

YOURE AN ASSHOLE, CAT, IMMA EAT YOU NOW

8/10/2010 4:59:16 PM

^^ 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 feel like kitty tonight

kitty tonight

KITTY TONIGHT

8/10/2010 5:30:29 PM

I thought it was okay to kill animals if you eat it?

8/10/2010 5:42:17 PM

8/10/2010 5:43:18 PM

^^ He didn't kill it.
He just kinda tortured it for a while.

8/10/2010 5:45:31 PM

but he was planning on killing it.

8/10/2010 5:46:08 PM

they interrupted his preparations

who is to say it was even a pet

[Edited on August 10, 2010 at 5:47 PM. Reason : d]

8/10/2010 5:47:40 PM

because he said it was? i don't think people talk about their food being possessive, greedy and wasteful, but maybe.

8/10/2010 6:18:41 PM

Man ruleth over the beasts of the fields

8/10/2010 6:19:29 PM

^^ I sure as fuck know that my mac and cheese tonight was one greedy son of a bitch

[Edited on August 10, 2010 at 6:21 PM. Reason : a]

8/10/2010 6:20:59 PM

lol. hogged all the cheese.

8/10/2010 6:21:45 PM

I showed him. Burned his ass up in the microwave and ate him

8/10/2010 6:23:53 PM

Did you marinate it alive?

8/10/2010 6:50:24 PM

i see no problem with this

8/10/2010 8:03:56 PM

ATTN cat haters, use this thread to repeatedly display your displeasure with cats and love for dogs

[Edited on August 10, 2010 at 8:08 PM. Reason : i see no problem with eating dogs, i adopt dogs from the local shelter every couple of weeks to eat]

8/10/2010 8:06:41 PM

how is it anymore god damn disgusting than roasting a fucking pig

8/10/2010 8:13:36 PM

^because pigs are ugly. Remember ugly things have no rights.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

8/10/2010 8:20:33 PM

I don't have a problem with eating cats. I have a problem with someone too damn crazy to realize you're supposed to butcher your meat before marinating it.

8/10/2010 8:28:07 PM

i love cats but i loled so hard when i read the bold

8/10/2010 8:29:17 PM

Yeah. The guy should be locked away for not carefully planning his meal preparations out properly.

Marinate before slaughtering? That's just stupid.

8/10/2010 9:23:24 PM

thats bullshit, since when is a cat meowing exigent circumstances? ILLEGAL SEARCH!

8/10/2010 9:30:35 PM

not really. it was in the fucking trunk. there are animal cruelty laws you know. i'm sure when they heard meowing and no cat they were like "?????"

[Edited on August 10, 2010 at 10:29 PM. Reason : .]

8/10/2010 10:29:02 PM

^ I keep babies in my trunk. Is their crying reason enough to search my car?

8/10/2010 10:33:54 PM

Wow.

Am I the only person that read the guy's responses and behavior and didn't immediately get angry that the article doesn't mention whether or not the man is receiving treatment for what is quite possibly a mental disorder?

I mean really.

8/10/2010 10:42:03 PM

no i was wondering the same thing, too

8/10/2010 10:44:46 PM

poor kitty. That's not a very effective way to marinate meat.

8/10/2010 10:52:38 PM

This kind of story makes me so damn mad, and I don't even like cats. What the hell is wrong with people?

8/10/2010 10:55:04 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

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

I really like horse meat. I wish you could get it in NC.

8/10/2010 11:33:29 PM

i don't know if i could eat that. i love trying new things but have trouble mentally getting over meat. like sometimes its even hard for me to eat a burger or bbq.

8/10/2010 11:37:27 PM

^^It's actually not bad, I had some in ASIALAND.

8/10/2010 11:39:36 PM

god knows what i ate in asialand. could have been horse or cat. i ate a shit ton of street food against the advise of the travel company

didn't get sick though holla
