Man Gets Special Probation For Shooting Cat With Arrow
WVIT News ^ | June 24 2002

MANCHESTER, Conn. -- A local man accused of shooting a cat with a bow and arrow has been granted a special form of probation.

Superior Court Judge Jorge A. Simon also ordered 22-year-old Jesse Reimann to do 50 hours of community service with the Connecticut Humane Society, make a $500 contribution to the society and pay $500 toward the cat's veterinarian bills.

Reimann is in an accelerated rehabilitation program for six months. If he successfully completes the program, a cruelty to animals charge against him can be dismissed.

Reimann was charged with cruelty to animals for shooting his neighbor's cat with an arrow Feb. 28.

The black-and-white cat, named Lucky Jr., showed up at the home of his owner, Lisa Negedly, the day after the incident, with a foot-long arrow sticking out of its chest. Negedly said her cat's veterinarian thinks the cat was initially pinned to the ground by the arrow, which didn't pierce any major organs or arteries.

The cat has made a full recovery.

Reimann refused comment, and his lawyer could not be reached.

Besides, I don't think we are talking about shooting cats at the beach, are we?

Is that what your hero Peter Singer would teach? You know the guy who promotes KILLING LIVE BORN BABIES and is the father of your animal worshiping religeon?

Ignore her. She is a liberal animal worshiper and only lives to try to force her "religion" on others.

Remember what I said about teaching a pig to sing TG, save your O2. It sounds to me like one of those small handheld crossbows...
I've been told that a well placed broadhead from a real peice of archery equipment won't allow any distance of travel.

You really think she has any sense or reading comprehension? Sorry, reading slowly will not help her. She has a disease called liberalism.

If you fry them long enough in bacon grease it kills all the diseases. I can send you the recipe if you want me to.

Where is this beach with the cat poop? LOL!

Why? Is this something you look for in a vacation get away?

,,, you have my assurance by way of the creed of cat scarcity, things will stay that way. I live a couple of minutes from a beach. When I go fishing, I've found cat is most often the preferred bait taken by any worthwhile fish.

What kind of a wimpy bow was he using?

Training heads. I'll bet $5 he was using training heads. Now, a nice broadhead like this one from Cabela's has no such problems...

:^)

I wanna see the Chinese chef cut through a beer can (or a nail, as I recall) with those, and then demonstrate that they're still sharp by skinning a cat. I understand that there's more than one way to do it, too, and a Chinese chef ought to know them all... ;)

,,, as a downstream, after market vendor of specialty value added options, call me if you ever want a preferential rate on genuine Persian catskin knife pouches. Just a thought.

,,, cage it, then curry it. Cottage cheese and salad on the side. Invite friends around and talk about diversity as you chew.
