The cat found beaten and nailed to a utility pole in rural Henry County, Illinois has died, according to the Dana Miller Veterinary clinic, which was caring for the animal.
A spokesperson said the cat, nicknamed "Dutch" passed away last night.
Dutch was found nailed by one paw to the utility pole near Dutch Bottom road outside the town of Geneseo on Monday.

No, there has to be something more, a numbness in the soul, a numbness that it looks an awful lot like you share.
“Just how the eff is priority getting stolen, please? Go into detail in your explanation, and be sure to note the proportion of article topics on FR.”
What are you posting about? I never used or implied the word ‘stolen’! Are you on drugs or something?
Are you? They would likely lessen the sense of horror at the killing of an animal. How is “priority” being elbowed aside, given the wrong place, whatever you would like to call it?
I mean torture killing as in this case, of course.
Eh, well, I don't know what shows you're watching, or kids, but I would say so is the rest of what is happening in the world. I would also say that FR is part of the media and the thoughts expressed here are part of what influences "kids." And others.
If you say so!
And yet you took the time to click on this thread and then post a comment here. Maybe you can go find some other threads that you're not interested in and post comments on those threads telling everybody that you're not interested in the subjects of those threads. Some people do the strangest things.
If you say so!
It does appear so. You are all flibbertygibbeted over a single gratuitous-animal-cruelty article, pounding on some crime against “priority” while completely ignoring the actual proportion of topic coverage on FR.
Yep - I’m just that kind of cat!
It doth seem the laddie protesteth too much!
Is it not so? Are you too busy dealing with “human tragedy” right now to think about it?
While I certainly understand the priorities you've cited throughout this discussion, would you -- at the very least concur -- that this action to the ``chemically based brain and nervous system'' of the animal organism was perhaps somewhat unkind?
Yep of course you are so insightful and penetrating - not I am uncovered and naked to the world for all to see!
I hope you shine some of your compassion my way before you go to sleep!
The Bible states outright that a wise man is kind to his animals. It’s a bit hard to be kind to a bunch of physico-chemical reactions. The Bible never calls for a wise man to be kind to a house or a tree or a stone or a pond.
It is kind to rebuke the cruel.
If you can give some other reason that this single article among many, many touching on the sanctity of human life on FR commits in your eyes an affront to priority, it will be entertained.
It was immoral and a psychopathic act of cruelty, probably perpetrated by a future serial killer or at a minimum, a killer. What’s your point?
What is your beef with “priority” based upon? Why did it move you to come here instead of to one of the thousands upon thousands of articles on FR that deal with the sanctity of human life (both embryonic, in its prime, and at end of life)? Methinks you project from yourself.
