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.
Was not meant to be a hijack, but I can see how one might infer that. See my post #20.
Oh please, take your self-righteousness somewhere else. Do something about the parasites producing more parasites and sucking away my tax dollars then I will start caring about abortion.
oh bother. read my post #20. please.
Oh, that is MILD compared to what I would do to that person. A cop in Raymore Missouri just shot a family’s beloved 19 year old gentle cat because his ‘mistook it for a vicious feral cat’ . . . what is it with sadistic cat-hating cops? They need to be taken off the streets and locked away forever!
My my what a tantrum.
It’s not about me or my righteousness. It’s about society’s moral perspective, and the loss of a proper one. THAT was my point.
I’ll remember not to ever try to engage you in a rational debate. Ever.
She appears to have a paw free. I’m betting she did it to herself!
/sarc (for those that needed that.)
Viking Kitty PING!
The Case of the Duct-Taped Cat.
I’m in the same longboat as you are. No fan of cats, but this just aint right.
My ex was a hoot - when she wanted to be.
A little perverse pleasure torturing innocent animals to whet the appetite. Hard to tell the difference sometimes between demons and people.
Duct tape the perp and leave him/her out in the weather for awhile. nice and chilly here.
It pains me to see how we have lost respect for all forms of life on this planet.
That said, I can't see my Cat staying still for even a few seconds if anyone tried to duct tape it. This was a remarkable feat if just one pervert did it.
sw
Another duct tape victim.
There but for the grace of Ceiling Cat go I...
Find those responsible, put duct tape on their testicles, rip tape off.
Repeat as needed.
Then saran wrap them to a telephone pole at some intersection with a sign stating what they did.
Encourage people to pelt them with rotten produce...
