    saw this on the news tonight..

    I saw this peice on the news tonight about a cat in Toronto that was skinned alive on video because they filmers called it "art" Thank god they never showed any gross video, but they did show a clip of the cat who was so scared it (can't remember if it's a girl or boy) was backed into a corner Anyway, after the video was found all the filmers but one guy were caught and sent to jail. This website was dedicated to finding the last creep who fleed before he was caught. Thanks to this site, he was caught. check it out:

    If anyone has any more info on this story, like how long the people went to jail and stuff, any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    And way to go for capturing Matt!

    I never heard of that case Nomi - is there any details like newspaper articles on it?

    I would like to know how these sick individuals *who should be skinned alive themselves* got a hold of a cat in the first place?!

    There are some sick sad people out there.

    Here is the link to the story that appeared in the Toronto newspaper. The found the guy on the other side of the country (in Vancouver). People made a concerted effort to catch this creep and he is now where he belongs!!!

    The link that I posted is direct from the major daily newpaper in Toronto. Because it is for general public consumption it is not as graphic as it could be. In fact it talks mostly about the woman and the police who helped to catch this creep.

    Oh that is SO sick!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I am not a violent person...but can only wish horribly painful/hurtful/terrible things for those idiots.

    I'm lucky this is a family site...otherwise I'd have to apoligize in a few minutes.

    What vile, low, evil "creatures"!!!!!!!!

    OK, I'm back....

    Skinning these IDIOTS alive wouldn't be anywhere near as bad. A human has the knowledge to understand what will happen. A poor defenseless cat has no idea what is going on.

    I feel ill.

    Maybe a hundred cats, armed with razor blades on each claw in a dark room....yea! The dudes would be covered in catnip. Yea!! No...how about lions?? That would even the score a bit.

    Horrible.

    Edit, after reading the link: I can't believe he got such light sentence....well, he'll have to answer to a MUCH higher court...God. Good!!!

    YAY! He's Been Caught!

    What a vile crime against the animal kingdom!

    I thought volunteering at the RSPCA you see many cases of torture and abuse but that just topped it all for me. I am no longer a volunteer unfortunately - I don't have the time.

    All I can say is that I am glad this is a general audience forum or I think there would be a few things I would like to say that youwould definately have to avert your eyes from.

    Thanks for the link.

    I'm just seeing this thread now.

    I was totally caught up in this story when it originally happened. Unfortunately, in Toronto this is not a isolated case. An area of Toronto called High Park has found many tortured animals that were either sacrificed for a 'religion' or done out of malice.

    I am glad they caught this guy. The only sad thing is that no justice is ever served in Canada when it comes to animal abuse. Animal welfare groups are trying to get tougher fines for such abusers but it looks like it will be a long process since the bill keeps getting stalled in Parliament.

    Really? Are the laws not very strict? I was wondering why his sentence looked so low.

    If you want to read more on Canadian Animal Cruelty Laws, here's a link:

    Animal Cruelty Laws In Canada

    There was a recent surge of interest in animal cruelty because of a case involving a kitten being set of fire and dumped. The kitten was named Krista and now Canadians are trying to pass a much stonger fine and sentence structure when animal cruelty is involved.

    Here's the link for more info:
