| 1283.1 | Grounds for Divorce | MARRHQ::KORCHNAK | | Tue Apr 19 1988 16:35 | 7 |
| If he was MY husband, I would seriously considering divorcing the
S.O.B.
As a matter of fact, to me, that WOULD be grounds for divorce.
Take the couch, the TV, but NEVER touch my CATS!!!!

| what this guy should get is some time in the state mental institution!
I agree with .1. That is DEFINITELY grounds for divorce. This
guy is absolutely SICK! I would wonder how I ever married a man
like that!

I maybe wrong but I always try to understand the logic behind acts
like this (ie what do they hope to achieve by doing something as
diabolical as this to an innocent life).
Well this time I couldn't and I think the only suitable punnishment
is castration (sp???). Does he really think that sort of thing
will stop his wife going out without him? Personally I don't blame
her I would have gone out long before now, taken the cat(s) and
never come back. I also think this is DEFINITELY grounds for divorce
but somehow that would not be enough for me!!!

He probably did it for attention. His wife went out to have fun
without him, he felt neglected, and like a child, did something
drastic to get her to notice him. Now he has got more than he wants,
nationwide attention!
or....
It could be a simple act of revenge. He got revenge by destroying
something his wife loved.
Obviously there is something wrong with the marriage to make him
feel this way. Though you can fix a marriage, unfortunately you
can't fix the poor kitty.

| 1283.6 | in LA | PARITY::WHALEN | And may the traffic be with you | Wed Apr 20 1988 21:47 | 11 |

Ya, I saw that too. It said he got 30 in jail and also was required
to pay $150 or spend another additional 5 days in jail, and he was
also placed on 2 years probation.
Seems he was in a drunken rage at the time.
Well, even though he didn't get away scott free, I still think
it would have been more fun to know that he went pop in the oven,
too.
This was in LA, by the way.

| 1283.7 | Stop this! | SKIVT::P_MARGOLIS | Paula Beth | Thu Apr 21 1988 10:05 | 10 |
| In some small way...or should I say in some large way...I wish
notes like this could be left unsaid. I tend to have nightmares
about such things, and all I'll be able to do all day is see pictures
of bad guys coming into my house and putting my little Schnapps
in the nuker.
We're all cat lovers here. And a support group for each other.
Illnesses, losses, etc. are acceptable tearjerkers. But things
like this are horrible! Why do we need to know?

| 1283.8 | I think that he needs professional help | VAXWRK::SKALTSIS | Deb | Thu Apr 21 1988 13:42 | 4 |
| sounds like he has a drinking problem, too. The court should have
ordered him to get some counseling for that, too.

| 1283.9 | Not the only cruelty note file | POOL::MURPHY | Is it Friday yet? | Mon Apr 25 1988 14:06 | 8 |
| .7 I think it's important that people who care about our fellow
creatures know when one has suffered at the hands of an uncaring
person. Life is full of horrible things. This incident is
no different than many others I've read about in this and other
notes files. I too felt terrible when I heard it on the radio
mostly because I couldn't get my hands on the @##$# for what
he'd done.

| 1283.10 | Do we really need to know?? | AIMHI::LLEBLANC | | Thu May 12 1988 14:43 | 6 |
| I agree that it doesn't do any good to relay these types of messages
to animal lovers. It's almost like straining your neck to see what
has been smeared all over the road, or sharing stories about what
happens to animals in lab research...
