Reward offered in case of duct-taped cat
Philly.com ^ | Sep. 23, 2009 | Peter Mucha

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.

Freerepublic has long been about the free exchange of ideas, facts, and opinions, particularly in the context of conservative ideas and ideals.

I find your remarks and replies to me to be stupefying. That you must resort to insult and dismissal without justifying your own position is unfortunate.

Telling people to go away or trying to define how they must reply is inconsistent with the spirit and culture of free discourse, especially when talking about something as near and dear to conservative ideals as the sanctity of life.

What do you find so threatening in my comments that you feel so compelled to respond the way you have? (by the way that is a rhetorical question)

agree, without argument. there’s a strong correlation between animal abuse and human abuse.

In answer to your rhetorical question......

Why did you attempt to hi-jack that thread?

You have been here long enough to know better.

Like I said, find a new sand box to play in and voice your opinion there and not in an existing thread!

Understand that?

I’ll stand by my post. Your tactics may make you feel better, but they don’t win supporters for your cause. If you want to feel like a martyr because you got flamed by a few conservatives for trying to hijack a thread, keep doing what you are doing. If you want to stop abortion, get smarter in your approach.

That is so mean and so sad.
I’m glad they were able to help the cat and it is ok now.

I can't help it. That's hilarious.

Nikki the kitty does not share my sentiments. I hope she can't load the magazines.

The Case of the Duct-Taped Cat.

Well, this sounds like typical east coast liberal behavior. That was one sick MOFO.

strip them naked and duct tape them on a very cold day to a road sign at a very busy intersection

strip them naked and duct tape them on a very cold day to a road sign at a very busy intersection and tie them on top of a fire ant bed for several minutes.

Some night, after 1:00 AM, we’ll be reading about the demise of Sig22 in his own bed. It won’t be pretty. ;-D
