NEWARK, Ohio -- A Ohio man will spend 30 days in jail for killing a kitten in front of its 4-year-old owner and forcing the girl to help clean up the animal's blood.

Frederick Brumage II, 39, pleaded guilty Saturday to aggravated menacing and cruelty to animals in Licking County Municipal Court.

Brumage also must attend anger-management and mental-health counseling.

Brumage told investigators he was drunk when he visited a neighbor's home Wednesday and became upset when the kitten scratched him.

He burned the cat's paws on a stove burner, then slammed it on the floor with the girl present, according to court records.

He threatened to harm the girl if she told her mother, who was in the shower.

Animals deserve humane treatment

No they don't. Animals don't deserve a thing...However, we as humans should define ourselves as respectful of other creatures...(to a reasonable extent).

But to say animals "Deserve" somthing is ridiculous...

We should rise above savegery...no doubt...But I don't owe gods other creatures anything (despite the fact I love and care for them of my own volition)

You're still here, aren't you?

It was supper time and a guest was at the door. To me, a fart has more priority than you. I'll post as I please.

I bet you DID attend Waller Elementary School in the early 1970s. Is that you, Marcus?

All you have is insults.
How pathetic.

Post names and we'll talk it out with them on this thread; right here, right now.

You started this confrontation; put up or STFU.

I did no such thing. This thread was over a week old and dead when you decided to start something. I posted a link to a thread on which are several who make fun of the killing of cats. If you choose to ignore it, I cannot help you.

All you have is insults. How pathetic.

Insults? You must have a low tolerance. That was very mild. I posted much more than that little jibe, yet you choose to ignore everything else.

You're still here, aren't you?

I did not write that. Try to keep the posts straight.

Ooops, wait a minute. You're right. I did say "You're still here aren't you?" But, you misunderstood the context. Probably from not reading the entire post:

Here it is in its proper context:

" I don't want anyone banned. Being a witless clown does not violate FR guidelines. You're still here, aren't you?"

Glad to help and sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thick skinned here.
Mild, huh?

So you can act like a bigger baby?
Wonderful.

Hate it when the cold weather hits. Can't you kids find a place to skateboard indoors?

So, where's the names?

Let's do this.
Ping 'em and see if we can put an end to the insensitive posts about animal cruelty.

You want to make a difference on FR or just bitch about it?

Very nice.

Does that post actually have a point?

I'm not posting names. I posted a thread (which you chose to ignore) on which several people posted comical comments about the killing of some cats. Do you deny this?

When you scroll down the thread, you will see these posts and the associated names. Ping them if you are really that bored.

Ping 'em and see if we can put an end to the insensitive posts about animal cruelty.

What do I care? Let 'em post anything they want. I'll answer them then.

This may come as a shock, but there are some of us who cannot obtain an orgasm from either case.

That's good to know!

What's your point? You didn't answer my question - who are they?

Some of us do get some enjoyment in tweaking those who 'get orgasms' talking about how they would like to abuse humans the way the human abused the animal.

I think Heinlein should have said "pet cat" not "cat" in the generic sense which could mean anything. One of the few times I would criticize Heinlein. Then again you may be quote mining Heinlein because I am sure he knew better than that how to judge a man.

I would personally enjoy abusing a human in exactly the same way that human abused an animal.

That being said, I in no way make the PETA-nut assertion that humans and animals are equivelent in worth. Humans are not animals, as the PETA-nuts would have us believe. A human life is worth infinitely more than any animal, but those who abuse animals make my blood boil.

It is an emotional and visceral response on my part, not given to reason or contemplation.

"Quote mining" Heinlein is like gold mining Fort Knox.

30 days? Outrageous.

Far too light a punishment (unless they let the other inmantes know that he's in for child abuse and give the guards a long coffee break).

This is the kind of whack job who kills for the thrill and needs to be put away down before he graduates from kittens to four year olds.

Whatever. If people can quote mine the Bible (which is actually more like gold mining fort knox than Heinlein) then they can do it with Heinlein.

I agree with your post except that the verse you cite has no real bearing on whether one *should* or *should not* feel sorry for the kitten. It just says we should take care of the needs of the animals that are under our care and not neglect them. (why? it doesn't say - my thoughts are because if we don't, it does something to US inside, spiritually and emotionally -not because of the animal's feelings.)

Feeling sorry for the kitten is perfectly fine, as long as one feels sorrier for the kid (which you seem to.)

You cast the first stone.... and the second.... and the....

Does that post actually have a point?

Yes, it's that you just don't get it.
You came in here bitching and whining about something that had not happened and all you have after that initial insult is nothing other than more insults.

Grow up.

I challenged you to do something about what you're whining about all you can do is cry some more.

Again, put up or STFU.

I put up. But you obviously are too busy hurling insults to know it.

I challenged you to do something about what you're whining about all you can do is cry some more.

You "challenged" me to do what? I gave you a thread which validated my position, yet all you can do about it is spew more of your witless bile.

about all you can do is cry some more.

You have mistaken the sound of laughter (at your pathetic expense) for crying.
