A $1,000 reward is being offered for the conviction of whoever body-wrapped a cat in duct tape and abandoned it in a North Philadelphia yard.
Only its head was uncovered.
"Whoever did this is very sick," said George Bengal, director investigations for the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is headquartered in North Philadelphia.
"I've never seen a cat totally wrapped like a mummy before," he told 6ABC.
A resident of the 2200 block of Edgley Street found the cat yesterday afternoon.
"It's a damn shame," Irissa Torian told CBS3.
The female cat - nicknamed "Sticky" by workers at the PSPCA - was sedated so the tape could be cut away with scissors and saved as evidence.
Afterward, the cat was doing well.
"She's a very friendly little thing," said Gail Luciani, PSCPA spokeswoman. ". . . She was purring while we were preparing to take the tape off, while we were getting her sedated."
"We're lucky that the tape was not on the cat for a long time. It came off easily," she said.
"I don't have an estimate of how old she is. She is an adult," she added.
Anyone with information about this case should call the PSPCA's cruelty hotline at 866-601-7722.
If I had my way I would find who did this, strip them naked and duct tape them on a very cold day to a road sign at a very busy intersection, with a sign attached saying “I’m a total idiot”
I would support duct-taping whoever did this to the unfortunate cat.
How much reward and outrage was offered for the children aborted today?
The cat will recover.
i hope they find this person. People that abuse animals are very sick. If not already, this person is torturing and physically or sexually abusing people..whether children or adults.
That is why the laws against animal abuse have become so serious..it is a way to prosecute people who are deranged in this way, and find out who they have also abused and bring them to safety. Also, the perpetrators are then given the option of jail time with mandated psychological evaluation/treatment or just jail time.
How awful. Sick people. Must have been an Obama voter.
I am just glad that she is ok.
I makes me think of what I would do too. I’m having very wicked thoughts
Its not an “either you torture and abuse animals or you abort” situation.
All evil and sickness must be dealt with.
omg poor thing
Being outraged about abortion and being outraged about animal cruelty are not mutually exclusive, except in the minds of some narrow-witted, contrarian individuals.
I wonder what happened to that gang girl who roasted another girl’s kitten to death in an oven.
I hope something absolutely terrible.
I'll go to my room now.
Ha ha
I laughed too. Sorry, may have been some kid. I used to tape my cat’s paws when I was young.
She went to juvenile hall.
FYI I love cats, so chill.
Wasn’t offered as an either or. It’s about our collective loss of moral perspective in society.
AND it’s not about the reaction of posters on this thread.
THIS animal cruelty story made the news; the continual, purposeful abuse of the sanctity of human life didn’t.
That’s my point, not that any of the posters here are mis-aligned on their own.
