SPCA seeks help in cat abuse case
-
ITS head was cut off, and its front legs too.
The worst part, no one knows whether the cat was alive or dead when it happened - except the person who did it.
The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is hoping that there are other witnesses too.
It is offering a $1000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of the cat killer who likely struck in the wee hours on Tuesday.
The cat was discovered on Tuesday morning at the West Coast Car Mart, with its head dumped beside its body.
Its corpse was also missing two front legs, which were no where to be found.
'We don't know whether the cat was alive or dead when it was done, either way it's horrifying,' said Ms Deirdre Moss, executive officer of SPCA. 'To know that someone in our midst can have such a cruel mindset is frightening. It reflects a disturbed mind.'
A vet from the SPCA who examined the body, said the killing occured in the early hours of the morning.
And the cruel act was likely done by someone skilled with a knife.
The clue: the clean cuts where the cat had been decapitated and its legs severed.
As there was very little blood on the scene, it is also likely that the killer had cut up the cat somewhere else before dumping its body, said Ms Moss.
The current penalty for animal abuse is a jail term of up to 12 months and a fine of up to $10,000.
Witnesses may call the SPCA at 6287-5355 during office hours. -

Cats could predict the future and foreshadow pleasant or untimely visits based on the position of their body. The direction in which a cat extended his paw while cleaning himself indicated the direction from which the visitor would come. The body part he was licking and cleaning indicated whether it would be a man or a woman. Cats were also able to predict a long illness. When the cat abandoned the home of a sick person or left the bedside of his protégé, it meant that he had guessed the exact moment of death. Finally, cats were also veritable weather indicators. If a cat lifted his paw above his ear while cleaning himself, it was a sign of rain.
That cat ran out his 9 lives. -

This killer is leaving a lot of psychological evidence behind.
Head and front legs cut off. Head dumped together with body, front legs missing.
This seems like an obvious expression of power and perhaps anger? According to this report, killing like took place in the wee hours of Tuesday. Cats are nocturnal. Cat singing pissed him/her off? Too noisy? Couldn't sleep/study? Babies stressing you out? Had a bad Monday at work? Or the cat simply rejected your attempts to pet it?
Killer targets smaller, weaker animals likely due to the lack of power and authority in daily life. Maybe he/she is constantly getting ordered around, scolded or bullied by others, frequently getting frustrated at work and yet being unable to do anything about it. Feels like shi t right? By targetting weaker victims, he/she gains some satisfaction and the feeling of empowerment and an adrenaline rush. This is addictive. Killer might have done similar acts to other small animals in the past. When the sense of empowerment wears off, he/she might have to renew the feeling. He/She might be killing small animals now but could likely devolve to human victims when it just wouldn't do satisfy anymore. Starting with little kids/babies. Yes. But killer did not take the trophy head. No. Too gross and scary and bloody? Risk of someone else finding the gross thing in his/her possession?
Didn't seem like there was much struggle with all the clean cuts. Report says cat could have been dead beforehand. Or the front legs were cut off first. Without the front legs, struggle is reduced significantly. Bloodloss weakening the cat at the same time. Front legs might be cut off because the cat was defending itself with them.
Killer could then have injuries on his/her arms and legs, that he/she might try to conceal. The front legs could have been kept to deny the cat, even in death, the very weapons that it used to hurt the killer.
This gives the killer the feeling of victory and empowerment as well. Perhaps this is the real trophy item. Why the need for a trophy? To remind them of the glorious battle in which they actually won. Why do they need to prolong this sense of victory? Because in real life, they usually are unable to.
Clean cuts could also mean just a sharp bladed object that anyone can find. Without much of a struggle, a cut can be made easily. If there were pieces of chipped bone fragments at the cut, they could have been chopped off. Sawing leaves torn skin usually.
Thats my brief analysis given the current info we have for now. Its amateurish, I know. But I'm being serious here.
Sorry for such a lengthy first post
I love animals(every single one of them, every type of species) and absolutely detest and despise animal abusers because they are such cowards and weaklings.

Some people are just sick minded, the law for animal abuse should really increase be it the duration of sentencing or amount in fine. They should also introduce caning into the sentencing to let them feel how it feels to get abused or beaten up

That's really sick.
I offer 10k to find the killer. -
