Man faces felony charges after allegedly shooting, killing cat
cbsaustin ^ | Nov. 20, 2018 | Gerald Tracy

An affidavit we obtained describes the day a man on the Northeast side shot and killed a cat on an apartment balcony. A witness provided a statement of the event, accusing Donald Martin, 77, of animal cruelty. The statement says the witness saw the cat eating out of a bowl on the morning of Nov. 12 before hearing a loud noise. After the witness looked up, she saw Martin holding something in his hand as the cat seized up. Animal Care Services investigators said he shot at a group of cats, which residents at the complex typically help caring for... SAPD officers arrested Martin Tuesday morning. Martin is facing animal cruelty charges, a state felony punishable by two years in jail and up to $10,000 in fines.

Why do you want a human to die for killing a semi-feral animal? That says a lot about you, and nothing good, I might add.

Why such an emotional response when you have no problem with cruelty and torture.

Most anti-freeze doesn’t taste good anymore.

He shot the cat on someone’s balcony? He should be put away and die in prison.

So, killing a cat should result in the same punishment as killing a human being? That's nuts.

Obviously, I should go over and shoot his children and grandchildren while they play in their backyard. Fair is fair. Right?

You're comparing killing human beings to killing a cat?

If it wasn’t someone pet, I’d agree. He purposefully shot the cat on the balcony of the cat owner.

Cats are better than people.

Are you member of PETA?

That moronic comment devalues human life.

OMG. This turd needs to be locked up for the rest of his miserable insane life.

So, you want to elevate the life of a cat to be the equivalent of the life of human being? That is insane. It devalues human life even further.

For a conservative site, there’s some people on here with very screwed up leftist thinking/emotions when it comes to animals.

"IF so, he should have used the ole anti-freeze in a bowl trick rather than shooting at another's balcony.

But wouldn't the anti-freeze make the taco meat taste funny? Asking for a friend :-)

Two separate things. I think we are wrong on the latter, but that doesn’t mean the former isn’t right.

No.

But “Why care about a mere rape when then’s an unresolved genocide in Rwanda?” wouldn’t be a very relevant or enlightening comment either.

The "I-35 PC plague" spreading from The Peoples' Rebublik of Austin has reduced San Antonio and DFW into wetback- polluted, PC- poisoned hellholes...

He fired into a residence. Next stop children, adults, anyone in the line of fire? He’s a menace.
