Print that out and save it. Engage him in an email conversation or argument about it. Get him to admit to as much as you can. Print and save his emails. Then sue him in small claims court. His own statements can be used against him, that is an exeption to the hearsay rule. Hopefully you will get a cat owner for a judge. -- FF |

Also, a couple of times each year I read a small article in the paper about a person being convicted under state (for various states) animal cruelty laws for killing a pet, even their own, even if the killing was 'humane' in the sense of being quick. Your local police may not be interested in the case, but a local prosecutor might be if he is aware that the killer is bragging online. Prosecutors do not like to see people brag about breaking the law (which he may have done) even when the law in question is not often enforced. This sort of thing as well as the small claims court approach vary quite a bit from state to state. It may also be possible to sue him in addition to the criminal prosecution. If you are really serious (and if so, good for you) see a lawyer, ask him or her what you, personally can do and what the lawyer can do for you. Remember, police officers are not lawyers. If you get your advice from a police officer it will probably be consistant with departmental policy, and an accurate picture of what the poilce will or will not do but not a complete picture of all of your options. -- FF |

Even if the police are "interested" in the case and you can produce evidence of the crime, don't count on a very severe sentence if your neighbour is convicted. There was a case in Toronto a couple of years back where three guys grabbed a cat - I can't recall if it was a neighbour's cat or a stray - and skinned it alive, videotaping the whole gruesome act. The national news showed only a few seconds of the video - when the cat was running away, apparently in fear of what these monsters were about to do - and it sickens me to this day to think of that poor cat's terror. They then proceeded to show the video at a gallery, claiming it was "art". They were charged and convicted and the ringleader did the maximum sentence available for this crime in Ontario - and was out of jail in 4 months. I think the other two got lesser sentences. This is far, far too little time for wantonly murdering an innocent animal, in my opinion. The frightening thing is that killing animals is one of the three "behaviours" practiced by people who go on to become serial killers of humans, like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, et. al. That is not to say that all cat killers become serial killers but the large majority of serial killers had a background of killing animals, bedwetting, and setting fires. Rhino |

All serial killers had a tendency to torture small animals Even to this
day if a child is torturing small animals it is a warning sign of a much bigger problem |

I wouldn't count on Metaphysical justince, but a single day in jail or a fine or even the hassle of having to go to court could be enough to disabuse the guy OP told us about. OTOH, we have not heard from OP again, I doubt if we will, I think he just wan't to draw attention to the bulletin board psoting. Of course anyone could download and print that materil to get something going. -- FF |
