Man Arrested For Feeding Stray Cats To His Dogs

Share |

Call me crazy (and I’m sure a lot of you will), but is this really a crime? Stealing other people’s would be, obviously, but stray cats? The kind that get turned over to the local Humane Society for euthanasia anyway?
Animals in the wild eat one another. We humans eat other animals all the time. A lot of pet food is made from the meat of other animals. That this guy was a little more…direct…in procuring meat for his pets seems to be a rather small matter.
I know a lot of people are grossed out at the idea of kittens (KITTENS!) being mauled by his dogs, but then most of you would probably be grossed out when confronted with the reality of where your hamburgers come from too.
Seems to me that with the overcrowding in our prisons reaching critical mass we should really be ranking this sort of thing pretty low on our list of priorities. Especially when stray cats are already considered a public nuisance.

    Animals in the wild eat one another.

    Last I checked … we don’t live in the wild!
    For shits sakes (sorry for the crudeness), but not only is it a law it’s part of our civilized normalcy not to be cruel to animals that are considered pets.

    those of you who think cats and/or dogs (or horses or rabbits, et cetera) should have the same status in law or morals as humans.

    And we let them run around naked ???? :)

  5. The_Whistler_ofnd on September 21st, 2007 at 5:50 am

    I love kitty’s. BUT everyone in my family always tries to act like they are allergic.

    Achoo! (Ok I like cats as long as their outside.)

    On the other hand stray cats should probably be shot and THEN fed to the dogs.

  6. carrick on September 21st, 2007 at 2:37 pm

    Anna:

    But … honestly, how can you not love all animals?

    Exactly, especially when prepared with a good wine sauce. I prefer this one, but it’s too rich for roasted hobo. Just a warning.

  7. carrick on September 21st, 2007 at 12:22 pm

    As I understand it, eating cat flesh can be hazardous. It probably wouldn’t be the best choice for feeding a dog, and might rightfully be considered inhumane to the dog. I would recommend homeless tramp as a better choice.

    what a waste he should have been eating them himself so long as they are female. boiling or marinating cant get rid of the smell and taste of male cats.

    Have you adding vinegar when you boil it? ;-)

  8. likwidshoe on September 21st, 2007 at 3:03 am

    What was he thinking? He should have just fed the dogs slaughtered cow like normal people.

    What a joke. The guy who comments around here who calls himself Dave has a point about the hypocrisy.

  9. likwidshoe on September 21st, 2007 at 2:04 pm

    docdave – Zsa, the simple solution for the unknown quality of purchased pet food is to let the animals eat what you eat.

    No way. Human food is too fattening and unhealthy for your loved pets. Don’t do it if you can help it.

    If you really want your little pet to be healthy and have the best food and can afford it, buy the scientifically engineered stuff that costs a bit more than the regular stuff. They will shit less because they will eat less, it will be less smelly when they do shit, and they will have healthier shinier coats. They only put in what the animals actually need and what they can naturally digest.

  10. proof_positive on September 21st, 2007 at 8:55 am

    I believe there should be Spankings for… Proof!

    What did you have in mind, little lady?? ;)

  11. likwidshoe on September 21st, 2007 at 3:18 am

    The little old lady in the supermarket check out line, with the forty cans of cat food and a handful of expired coupons is part of a powerful political lobby.

    And more power to her. We need to protect cats from the dangerous world of dogs.

    (Damn dogs make me sneeze. Fuck ‘em. I like cats though. No dog can ever mess with a tiger.)

  12. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 9:05 am

    It is my own version of PETA. Only it is ZZEPA… You see? I haven’t decided quite yet what exactly that means.

  13. kbiel on September 21st, 2007 at 4:37 am

    it’s part of our civilized normalcy not to be cruel to animals that are considered pets.

    But, it’s OK for the cat to chase and toy with a mouse or a gecko, slowly maiming the creature for sport before finally ingesting it? It’s OK to feed live mice and rats to pet snakes, but not live cats to dogs?

    There is no doubt that Mr. Hilmo is quite disturbed. I don’t condone his injuring the cats and watching his dogs maul them for fun. But I am also concerned for those of you who think cats and/or dogs (or horses or rabbits, et cetera) should have the same status in law or morals as humans.

  14. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 8:46 am

    I believe there should be Spankings for Mickey, Whistle, and imagine. AND while we are there Lik should not be excluded. AND last but not least Proof!

  15. Anna on September 21st, 2007 at 5:54 am

    On the other hand stray cats should probably be shot and THEN fed to the dogs.

    Along with the person responsible for them being stray.

  16. WETBACK on September 21st, 2007 at 2:40 pm

    Likwidshoe: Thanks, I didn’t think that HTML was accepted.
    Actually it’s not a good idea though all LessThan and MoreThan symbols really should be eliminated.

    As far as scaling down the image what is a decent maximum size? 493×395

    Anna: I am nice. you know you love me :)

  17. 2Hotel9 on September 21st, 2007 at 3:49 pm

    But AnnaBanna we like public scenes. Come on wet, take the plunge. You know, this is as bad as trying to get someone to jump. It is no different from driving down the road in your car. Except you hit in nothing but clothes and parachute harness. What? Afraid we is gonna make fun of you? We already do that.

  18. triticale on September 22nd, 2007 at 12:09 pm

    The real issue is which stray cats he was feeding to his dog. Surely nobody would be that upset if it was Brian Setzer.

  19. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 5:27 am

    I love kitty’s. BUT everyone in my family always tries to act like they are allergic.

    Is this how? I’m not gonna try anything else I promise.

  21. imagine on September 21st, 2007 at 7:32 am

    nothing wrong with re-cycling kitty litter.

  22. WETBACK on September 21st, 2007 at 1:43 pm

    I wanna be able to embed images too :)

    I promise I’ll scale it down to the measurement allowed and not put anything obscene and upload them to the appropriate site that they get linked to.

    Please tell me the thingy and site to upload to.

  23. Anna on September 21st, 2007 at 2:46 pm

    I don’t think you have to register.

    2hotel9 … thanks a lot! I’ve been wanting WETBACK to register forever, just so I could @#*%@ at him in a pm and not make a public scene :-P

  24. likwidshoe on September 21st, 2007 at 2:19 pm

    “WETBACK” = end your code with /img instead of the /url you used and you’ll be all good to embed images. Actually, go here to see all of the vBulletin codes. You also have to close the opening.

    This website also accepts html. Learn that simple language and you’re good for most of the Internet.

    I’ll also add: don’t “hotlink”. Image services now allow you to upload pics so that you can display them wherever you please (such as the Webshots’ AllYouCanUpload service recommended here). They explicitly allow hotlinking. It’s their service. Stick to these services when you want to display a picture here.

  25. Anna on September 21st, 2007 at 2:40 pm

    Zsa Zsa, I’ll let ya use my bullwhip I brought back from Mexico this summer … I wouldn’t want you to wear your hand out and all ;-)

    Cats are vile creatures. This guy should be more concerned about making his dogs sick.

  27. Anna on September 21st, 2007 at 1:27 pm

    eating cat flesh can be hazardous.

    I didn’t read (I refused to) the article but I would think since, dogs can’t digest or cough up fur balls, this is an extremely unhealthy diet for the dog.

  28. 2Hotel9 on September 21st, 2007 at 2:13 pm

    For doing the image thingy I don’t think you have to register. The help part? It might.

    wet, I had a helluva time figuring out how to use allyoucan. You’ll figure it out. Please, no more cat&dog pics, I see that in my house everyday. I am trying to get a couple of good shots of the new kitten. Little bastard is uncooperative.

  29. Mickey on September 24th, 2007 at 3:19 am

    I appreciate cats. If you can hit one at 200 yards you are ready for deer season.

  30. Neiman on September 21st, 2007 at 8:57 am

    Zsa Zsa: First you maliciously call Islamic terrorists insane under another thread, poor babies; now you seem to be into a little S&M or is it M&M’s. Oh, well we all love you anyway!

  31. Anna on September 24th, 2007 at 3:45 am

    Commercial dog food wasn’t even widely used until the 40’s and even then people living through the depression didn’t fancy spending money to buy food for the animals. Table scrapes and whatever unlucky varmint walked in the path of a dog was what they survived off.
    Now we spend 100’s of dollars on what our dogs eat … and I am one of the guilty.
    LOL, I will admit the only reason I went with a high priced food was for the fact it produces less doggy waste. ;-)

  32. electnixon on September 24th, 2007 at 3:47 am

    …Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
    Tender is the fur, dying as you purr..

    “WETBACK” – As far as scaling down the image what is a decent maximum size? 493×395

    493 looks to be an excellent width for these fixed forums. Anything more than that and the picture goes over the fixed border and makes everything look all screwy.

  34. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 2:44 pm

    Cool prop!…AND that is very thoughtful of you, Anna. Thanks!

  35. WETBACK on September 21st, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    Likwidshoe: Thanks, I promise I’m not going to make you sorry you told me.

    Anna: I know you would tell me how much you love me, but your to shy to admit it here :)

  36. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 2:41 pm

    Anna…I love that picture. BUT is the bloodhound on some kind of date rape drug?

  37. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 3:47 am

    A few months ago I learned the sad truth about Dog and Cat food we all have been purchasing for years. During the recall of hundreds of different dog and cat foods I learned hundreds popular Name Brand pet foods are made of dead zoo animals and euthanized pets. It is making our beloved pets sick and sending them to an early death. AND the sad thing about it is there is supposedly some loop hole that allows these companies to not have to reveal the content. It makes me so sad because I lost my precious golden retriever Wilbur to cancer. My husband keeps saying it probably isn’t true. BUT I beilieve it. I have a new golden retriever puppy (Forbes E. Franklin) I am doing everything I can to protect him from the same fate as my beloved Wilbur!

    Zsa, the simple solution for the unknown quality of purchased pet food is to let the animals eat what you eat. Scraps from the table were the staple for dogs and cats for millenium [well at least for dogs, cats were expected to satisfy their hunger on rodents and other creatures]. This idea that human food is not good enough for their pets is one of the bizarre beliefs that has infected our world today.

  39. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 5:01 am

    Wilbur liked to chase kitty’s. I didn’t know I was feeding him kitty’s…

  40. 2Hotel9 on September 22nd, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    Triti, Setzer was already fed to somebody’s dog, it spit him back out.

  41. 2Hotel9 on September 21st, 2007 at 2:34 pm

    We feed all our animals store brand dry food. Healthy and full of themselves, too full of themselves tonight.

  42. jpe on September 21st, 2007 at 5:20 pm

    The guy’s doing a public service, although I hope he’s being careful: strays are nasty, disease-ridden vermin.

  43. Anna on September 21st, 2007 at 5:17 am

    LOL, with a name like Mickey, I don’t blame you for not liking cats. ;-)

  44. gavin brown on September 21st, 2007 at 11:45 am

    what a waste he should have been eating them himself so long as they are female. boiling or marinating cant get rid of the smell and taste of male cats.

  45. Carol on September 24th, 2007 at 3:25 am

    I feed my pups salad, fruits, and veggies. Scruff Dog loves tomatoes. Heidi loves cantaloupe. I asked the vet about the animal byproducts on the list of ingredients in dry dog food. She said it means chicken feet and stuff that is good for dogs but not for people. I feed Science Diet but it also lists “animal byproducts.” I use it only because the vet recommended it. But the byproducts bother me.

    I guess it takes a really hard person to feed his pit bulls live kittens and cats. While babysitting an Oscar fish once, I nearly passed out when I had to feed him live fish. Yuk!! I guess the part that bothers me is he threw them in live and let the dogs kill them.

  46. Zsa Zsa on September 21st, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    Mickey, It sounds like you are really in need of a good spanking! Now… Who’s your Momma? AND 2hotel and a few others I have yet to mention are asking for it!
    Anna… Are you too tired to give me a hand?

  47. 2Hotel9 on September 21st, 2007 at 1:06 pm

    Cat ain’t bad, tastes like rattlesnake.

  48. WETBACK on September 21st, 2007 at 11:34 am

    :)

  51. Anna on September 21st, 2007 at 5:28 am

    kbiel, no it’s not normal and I never said it was. BUT, having the dirty little disease carrying, crap dropping rodents infesting my home is a larger degree from normalcy or safety to justify my cat eating a mouse.
    Also for your information, I can’t even begin to count how many times I have rescued a mouse from the jaws of my cats … so don’t be thinking I am an inhumane monster. :-P

  52. proof_positive on September 21st, 2007 at 4:30 am
