Disgusting! Every time you hear about hope for humanity you read about something like this. How long before this person graduates to killing people?

Pet's death linked to Miami's serial cat killer Story Highlights Tommy the cat showed up one day on the Gleason family's doorstep Florida couple was looking for a pet for their 6-year-old daughter Tommy was found dead and mutilated in his family's yard south of Miami Police believe that he was one of 12 victims of a serial pet killer updated 4 hours, 27 minutes ago Next Article in Crime » By Rich Phillips CNN Senior Producer MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- He was black and white, the perfect gift for the 6-year-old daughter of Donna and Ronald Gleason. His name was Tommy. The death and mutilation of Tommy the cat has been linked to a serial pet killer, say police in Miami, Florida. The black and white tuxedo cat was one of a dozen pets that have been killed and mutilated recently by someone in the Miami area, police said. The Gleasons do not want their daughter's name to be revealed. Donna Gleason asked the child to leave the room before telling CNN the gruesome details of what happened to their cat. "Part of his skin was missing underneath ... and part of his legs," Gleason said. "He was partially skinned." Miami-Dade County police say Tommy's demise is part of a string of sadistic feline fatalities that have occurred recently in the Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay areas of southern Miami-Dade County, south of Miami. Miami-Dade Police spokesman Bobby Williams said two of the cat carcasses were "posed." He said that anyone capable of such cruelty toward and torture of an animal "is disturbed at some sort of level." The crimes began May 13. A reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for any information leading to an arrest. Police have been inundated with dozens of phone calls from people who have discovered dead cats throughout the community. Investigators have determined that most of the cases are not related to the string of cat killings. The number, officially at 15, was initially believed to be much higher. Ronald Gleason found Tommy lying in their yard May 25. At first, he thought his family's pet had been killed by a dog, but a closer look revealed the cruelty behind his death. Tommy was a gift for the Gleasons' little girl. She desperately wanted a cat, Donna Gleason said. She searched for a cat that could get along with their dog, but none of the shelter cats they brought home was compatible. "We prayed that we would find a nice cat that liked our dog, and a few days later, he just showed up at our front door," Donna Gleason said. Tommy was adopting them. The Gleasons put signs up in the neighborhood, and when no one claimed him, they kept Tommy. "It's disturbing to know that this happened right in front of your house, while you're sleeping inside," Donna Gleason said. "I'm not terrified, but I'm not sleeping as well as I used to." Others in south Miami-Dade County are telling similar stories. A woman whose Siamese mix cat, Caesar, was killed and mutilated didn't want her name published. "This person killed my cat. He doesn't need to know anything else about me," she said. "I don't know if it's a gang initiation thing or a satanic ritual thing, but to do what he's doing, he has to be extremely sick." The month-long cat-killing spree has police concerned. "We're telling people to be aware where their cats are at. Keep your pets inside," said Williams, the police spokesman. "If anyone looks or acts suspicious, call police," he added. "Have us come out there and check them out. This could be the missing link we're looking for." For the Gleasons and 11 other cat owners, it's too late. All they can do is break the news gently to a little girl who always wanted a kitty. "She loved him and played with him every morning. ... She just misses him," Donna Gleason said. "We told her that Tommy was killed by an animal," she said. Then she added, "Well, an animal did kill him." http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/11/...led/index.html

I've been following the story a little, seeing as this is not too far from where I'm at.

I'd like to see him caught while he's still on cats. Serial killers tend to follow a progressive pattern. How long before we start seeing people instead of cats?

[Ziroc]

I'd love to find that vile POS and spend a few hours with him. Sick.. I hope someone finds this base creature, and puts him down. (These are future human serial killers)...

[SpiritWarrior]

Or put him in a cage with one of the "bigger" cats of the feline family. Yes, this makes me sick also. I hate that when it is not a human, people (including the law) really couldn't give a shit. If we don't protect our animals, who will?

Probably a couple of teen aged boys releasing pent up anger from losing a video game sequel.

I'm about as non-violent as they come, but when I hear about stuff like this...

Man, thats BS right there, people with that mind state sit in congress and try to take away our entertainment.

"Blame it on the video games, blame it on the music, blame TV, and movies and magazines."

No, take responsibilities for your own damn actions.

You ever hear the song by Eminem called "Sing For The Moment"?

"They say music can alter moods and talk to you,
well can it load a gun for you and cock it too?
Well if it can then the next time you assault a dude,
just tell the judge it was my fault and i'll get sude."





People DO NOT become violent because of music or video games. If they're stupid enough to do something stupid, they should take the blame.

[Firestormalpha]

Well, to be fair to Felix, DA, he didn't necessarily blame the game for their behavior. He stated they were blowing off frustration. The game may have given the frustration in his illustration, but everyone is responsible for how they deal with their own frustrations.

One time I threw a controller down and shattered it on the floor, since then I've found it more cost effective to turn off the console and take a walk/ride.

At any rate, the fact that it's been going on for over a week tells me that his suggestion is unlikely.

It appears somebody is warm about the collar!

Take it for face value. On days that I'm teaching my encore tune is, no other than: Eminem: "Sing for the moment"

I hope that pathetic excuse for a human being rots in hell. Killing animals is foul itself, but like that? This person is seriously messed up in the head.
