Your Daughters Boyfriend
What would you do if your daughters boyfriend did this to your cats?
This was taken from an article by Amber Hunt Martin. start article It wasn't just that Edward Baker allegedly bashed the cat in the face. Or that he chased it around the blood-spattered laundry room. Or that he extinguished cigarettes on another cat's paws. It was, authorities said, that he acted methodically, intentionally. Baker, 20, is charged with animal torture, a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison upon conviction. Police said Baker was living with his 17-year-old girlfriend and her family when he began tormenting and beating two orange tabbies named Crystal and Haley, ages 8 and 3. Crystal had been bashed in the face with a bottle of laundry detergent so hard, her teeth pierced the bottle. The impact broke her lower jaw and cracked her sternum and upper jaw. Her daughter, Haley, had singed fur and charred, black paw pads, apparently from being burned by a lighter or cigarettes. Both cats are healing at home, said their owner, Kim Steis. "They're still a little afraid when someone walks down the hallway," she said Tuesday. "I don't think they'll ever be the same." Steis, whose daughter Tia is still dating Baker, said the man moved into her Clinton Township ranch in December. Baker seemed friendly, she said, but the cats clearly didn't like him. Steis discovered that Haley's left front leg was broken in January. Steis didn't know how it happened, but she noticed that the usually people-friendly pet raced from a room when Baker entered. Then, on Feb. 21, she heard Crystal wailing in the laundry room. She said she found the cat on her back near the furnace, hissing at Baker, who hovered nearby. Crystal's mouth was bloody and swollen; both eyes were bruised. Steis has paid $1,767 in veterinarian bills. Baker's girlfriend is standing by him and has offered to testify on his behalf. end article Well, What would you like to do or say to this man?

This was very hard to read and I really was trying to hold back on my tears
as it is hard to write after seeing the posting and the article. If I knew someone who did this to cats he'd be breathing through a tube in the hospital. The worst thing about this is not only did he beat these cats and abuse them severely but his girlfriend is standing by him. Thus apparently she supports the abuse. She also did nothing when these cats were being tortured by her boyfriend. These cats feared him when he walked in the room. But just like a lovestruck teenager she'll ignore the warning signs and stick with this guy. I also have to wonder where the parents of this girl are in all this. They share in the abuse of those cats by not doing anything and not saying no to a guy who moves into their house to be with their teenage daughter. I think besides the boyfriend, the girl and her family should be on the hook for not stopping this guy. They said the guy seemed friendly but clearly the cats didn't like him. The cats were warning them this guy was not on the level but they didn't listen. This guy should never have been allowed to move into the house let alone be with a 17 year old girl. The prosecuting attorney in this case certainly seems reluctant to prosecute since he stated "You certainly can't equate this to crimes against children, where the victims are also defenseless. But these are creatures we have in our homes to keep us company and entertain us." This is a typical answer from a reluctant prosecutor who will probably not do much to prosecute and fight for a conviction. He also makes it sound like cats are property which they aren't. They are living, breathing creatures with feelings, a heart, a mind, and a soul. To equate them to being property means that humans own them and thus can do what they want. In fact this prosecutor is saying ok to animal abuse. The worst thing is the judge will listen to the prosecutor and still let the animal abuser off. The justice system fails to punish those who abuse animals. In fact, most of the time they'll just let the abuser get off with a slight fine and maybe not allow them to have animals around which you know will not stop the abuse. As the long as the justice system lets animal abusers get away with light sentences they'll keep up the abuse. They need to not only strengthen the laws against animal abuse but they need a get tough stance in courts. As for this guy who tortured the cats I would love to see him put through the same torture! He deserves it. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Craig Petersen" wrote in message ...

But I don't think they should have been allowed to go back to the family. They should have been put up for adoption to a good and loving home. I also don't think the family should be allowed any animals as well since they proved they could not care for them properly. They allowed this guy to torture them and did nothing. Yes, according to the article the cats were obviously treated but I think the family could have done more to stop this guy. Those poor cats didn't deserve this abuse. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Craig Petersen" wrote in message ...

Well said Craig.
All animals are sentient beings - and only a true psychopath would want to harm them. A recent documentary on the military and killing featured recent research which found that just 2% of troops were responsible for 95% of the killing. This 2% was composed of psychopaths who are not hardwired against killing their own species - an evolutionary adaptation ensuring survival of the species. They usually begin their lives by torturing and killing animals. "Craig Petersen" wrote in message ...

What would happen to me would be irrevelant, as long as I had the satisfaction beating the **** out of a sadistic animal abuser. Animal abusers are PUSSYS, they pick on the most defenseless beings on the planet, they cannot contribute ANYTHING usefull to society. If I seem a bit extreme it's because most, if not ALL animal abusers get nothing more than an insulting slap on the wrist. I don't consider pets to be "property" or "things to be owned", that's what your DVD and or TV are for. Animals are beings, just like you and me. They are just unfortunate enough to be born on a planet that is populated by a bunch of sadistic cannibals (AKA Man). If you have pets you are their GUARDIAN ( you don't OWN them anymore that you would OWN your children ), and are 100% responsible for their well being. /rant This was taken from an article by Amber Hunt Martin. start article It wasn't just that Edward Baker allegedly bashed the cat in the face. Or that he chased it around the blood-spattered laundry room. Or that he extinguished cigarettes on another cat's paws. It was, authorities said, that he acted methodically, intentionally. Baker, 20, is charged with animal torture, a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison upon conviction. Police said Baker was living with his 17-year-old girlfriend and her family when he began tormenting and beating two orange tabbies named Crystal and Haley, ages 8 and 3. Crystal had been bashed in the face with a bottle of laundry detergent so hard, her teeth pierced the bottle. The impact broke her lower jaw and cracked her sternum and upper jaw. Her daughter, Haley, had singed fur and charred, black paw pads, apparently from being burned by a lighter or cigarettes. Both cats are healing at home, said their owner, Kim Steis. "They're still a little afraid when someone walks down the hallway," she said Tuesday. "I don't think they'll ever be the same." Steis, whose daughter Tia is still dating Baker, said the man moved into her Clinton Township ranch in December. Baker seemed friendly, she said, but the cats clearly didn't like him. Steis discovered that Haley's left front leg was broken in January. Steis didn't know how it happened, but she noticed that the usually people-friendly pet raced from a room when Baker entered. Then, on Feb. 21, she heard Crystal wailing in the laundry room. She said she found the cat on her back near the furnace, hissing at Baker, who hovered nearby. Crystal's mouth was bloody and swollen; both eyes were bruised. Steis has paid $1,767 in veterinarian bills. Baker's girlfriend is standing by him and has offered to testify on his behalf. end article Well, What would you like to do or say to this man?
