Slain cat's DNA leads to killer; brute stabbed little Madea with an umbrella, says ASPCA
New York Daily News ^ | December 12, 2009 | Joe Jackson, Scott Shifrel and Christina Boyle

A cold-hearted animal killer stabbed his mother-in-law's feline to death with an umbrella, and then told relatives: "It was only a cat, who cares?" lawyers said Friday.

Lordtyshon Garrett, 31, terrorized the 9-pound pussycat by poking and beating her, leaving the pet with injuries as severe as if she had fallen off a high-rise building or been hit by a car, animal experts said.

In a futile attempt to fight back, the 4-year-old feline, Madea, bit and scratched the plastic umbrella. The ASPCA found the cat's DNA on the umbrella and used it to pin the crime on Garrett, whose DNA also was found.

We’re talking about those who aim for a speedy and more or less humane demise of a critter in order to use its carcass for some good purpose. No comparison to this homie.

So, this is precrime?

I would hate for them to use the same logic against someone who goes to church or something else.

There are all kinds of profiling for precrime that can be done.

Cats are a food source in Australia, so kill them all?

when I think of how many rape cases sit unsolved because of the huge backload of dna waiting to be analyzed, hearing that they tested dna for a cat, its plainly just obscene...

paganism......there is no God.....just the worship of animals or inanimate things....

don't get me wrong...this man is cruel and maybe evil to the core...

but lets solve human cases first...

>>I am not an ‘animal rights’ kook, but a good pet is of more value than a bad human any day.

Yes I mean that.<<

The worst pet is better than a bad human.

Which is better? A pit bull who, with a mind that will never grow beyond a 3-YO, has been trained to kill b/c that makes sense? Or lorty, our human, who killed a special creature out of spite?

Justice would let the pitt bull on our little lorty.

You said:

But today it is clear (there are solid links) that killing of animals who can’t protect themselves is a pathological trait. It almost inevitably leads to the same treatment of humans.

That includes hunters and butchers. You are wrong here, “Free” “Dumb.”

Your first link gives no statistics on any of this—it’s all pop psychology, which obviously is wrong if hunters and butchers don’t kill people.

Then you post a link to a place that, according to Google, only supports liberal causes:

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=change.org

But I guess a person that supports “Jobs for Change,” “Gay Rights,” “Middle East Peace,” “Animal Rights,” “Ending Homelessness,” and “Global Warming” from a liberal perspective fits you.

Because love excludes animals. They (animals) are just chattel, like furniture. Kill them, stuff them, put them on the mantle. So much easier, and you don’t get that “cat smell.” And the money saved on food — hey, don’t get me started.

“Psalm,” sadly, God would not agree.

This sounds like a case for which the cops knew who to look at from the start — cat’s owner immediately knew who was trying to get at her, instant probable cause. Can’t compare that to anonymous rapes.

So, would you elect an animal for our President, or to perform surgery on you? I mean, you sound like animals aren’t animals when you say, “Spend 25 years with a companion and say “it is just an animal.”

Maybe after 25 years they can drive cars or fix a good meal. Maybe they can play cards with you and win. Apparently, you think they are more than animals.

Get real and stop listening to liberal thinking.

God would want the worst humans (murderers &c) dead... not the pets.

God allows us to tend to our wrong-doers, but God knows only humans have souls and every soul can be saved.

God would want the worst humans to be saved; however, He doesn’t always get His Will.

You murder, the Word says your blood should be shed even if you get your soul to heaven.

Indeed he would. Malefactors are less than nothing and are marked for destruction.

His creation, on the other hand, is very good.

I know your kind. Conservative “emptymind”

You torture small animals for your own pleasure, then say “it’s not like it was real — it was just a cat/dog/child/whatever.”

I can see you in your basement now — is it the neighbor’s cat who dares to caterwaul because that is what makes him do so? Or maybe the puppy across the fence who kept you up last night?

Either way, your evil eye makes no distinction. It is just fur and flesh. Kill it? Who cares? Does she or he mean anything to anyone? Not an issue.

Your justification of torture to animals says all to those who know your type. And your type have been known throughout history.

It’s New Yawk. He’ll get a $100 fine and a stern look from the judge—and the stern look is MAYBE 50/50, at best.

“So, would you elect an animal for our President . . . ?”

It would be an improvement, would it not?

(half joking)

That only holds true for Israel, a theocracy, for whom those books of the Bible stand. What the rest of the governments do is up to them.

I’m for capital punishment, but God wants all people to come to Him. However, if we justifiably kill another, God will judge us in the appropriate context to that situation. If we murder someone, obviously He judges us in that context, too.

>>Get real and stop listening to liberal thinking.<<

You are an idiot. You don’t know what love is. For you, all is gears and mechanisms, like Mengala and his ilk.

I was mad at you. Now I pity you.

I had 18/25 years of beautiful spirits who loved me. It is clear you have never had a day of anyone who loved you.

Clearly with good reason.
