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.

"Also, how one treats animals speaks volumes about the individual in question."

I concur with a capitol C.

A friend of mine told me that they had a litter of kittens when she was young and her sisters kept letting them in the house against her mothers wishes. The last time they did it, their mother scooped up the five kittens and threw them in the wood stove. Makes me sick just to think about it agian.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Please, think of the kittens.

The real violence was done to the child. The "mother" should be put in jail for allowing a nutcase to be with her four year old.

The next time we hear about the creep will be when he's taken in for killing a child. Put his name, picture, and history on the Internet and warn all the bimbo's with children.

Flash to bimbos: your job is to protect your children. We don't believe your excuses.

Ditto! I don't go take a shower and leave my 4-year-old at large in an unsecured house where anyone can walk in. If I'm unavailable, the doors are locked, and my 11-year-old is in charge, with a set of rules that include, "Don't answer the phone," and "Don't open the door."

I wonder why they didn't charge the SOB with emotional abuse of the child?

[NeoCaveman]

Well I'm off to...well you know.... poor kittens.

That's true. The sick SOB tortured and killed the kitten for scratching him. What if the little girl had done something to annoy him?

If you're endorsing that kind of behavior, I hope God reserves the hottest part of hell for you. The same kind of behavior you endorse, or condone, is the same that you will receive.

I won't pull my punches with some sick animal-torturer freak...

Skooz - I'm right beside you on this one.

[NeoCaveman]

Discuss amongst yourselves :-)

Ha ha ha. A sickozoid tortured and killed a kitten in front of it's 4 year old owner. Ha ha ha ha

I clicked on your screen ID, and found the following, among other things:

Former long-haired, dope-smoking, drug-abusing, rock-n-roll party animal socialist who saw the Light when Jesus saved my soul and set me free in 1985.

If one takes your post at face value, then one might be excused for wondering if this is an example of how one behaves after accepting Jesus as one's Lord and Savior. Or is there some part of scripture that mandates torturing animals?

[NeoCaveman]

See #25, if you don't get the joke, then I'm not explaining it to you....

[Gemflint]

I see the pick, but can't make out the writing. The pic name is "God kills a kitten...". Where's the humor?

[NeoCaveman]

It says...."Every time you masturbate, God kills another kitten....Think of the kittens"

You might need glasses :-)

[Gemflint]

Ok, tacky, but I guess I did come out swinging. Truce?

[Tennessee_Bob]

You kitten killer!

LOL!

[NeoCaveman]

I do not apologize for my irreverant humor.

I accept your truce.
