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.

Some people here at FR actually laugh at this stuff. That is who I am talking about.

Name them.

dubyaismypresident is the one on this thread. But, just look at virtually any thread dealing with animal cruelty. Some clown will inevitably make jokes about it.

Cats, unlike dogs, are not hierarchical animals. Unlike dogs, they won't submit to the leader of the pack. Insecure men tend to hate cats.

Myself, I'd love to be given the chance to legally beat to death any creep who tortures and kills an animal, especially a kitten. As for you jerks out there who believe animals don't feel pain, you're nothing but pathetic rejects whose parents obviously did a bad job raising you.

[Skooz]

I agree with every syllable.

I like the way you think!

At the risk of bringing down the wrath of mindless idiots who get orgasms watching animals suffer, ...

So, you're saying dubyaismypresident is a clown and has orgasms watching animals suffer?

[Gun142]

What's your problem?
Skooz says you're a clown and you get off on watching animals suffer.

What's up wif dat?

Skooz says you're a clown and you get off on watching animals suffer.

I take now joy in watching animals suffer. Skooz didn't like the pic I put up as a joke.

[agrace]

Agreed - I don't see any mention of charges relating to what he did to the 4 year old. How traumatic for her, I can't even imagine. And that must have been one long shower her mom was taking, sheesh.

[ChiefsMan]

The kitten is only a kitten, soft and fluffy, nothing more.

I have to disagree with you on that one. A cat's life isn't as important as a human's life, but there is some value there. If someone tried to hurt my dog, they would get a serious beat down.

Had Frederick and the Mom left the child to get sunburned the authorities would have locked them up..........leave your child in some sick, pervert's care while they bash a kitten and mentally torture this poor child.....a slap on the wrist.
What's up with this mother??????

I didn't mean only dubyaismypresident specifically. You might notice that my post was a response to the initial post which stated: "At the risk of bringing down the rath of PETA, I really don't care about the kitten."

My response: "At the risk of bringing down the wrath of mindless idiots who get orgasms watching animals suffer, I DO care about the kitten, as well as the poor little child who had to watch this."

That was meant as a statement that one doesn't have to be a PETA nut to be grieved by the suffering of animals. It was also a shot across the bow to those who I knew were coming--the Freepers who populate nearly every thread which concerns the torture/killing of animals. They mock Sungirl mercilessly when she stands up for critters, and they post how they couldn't care less about the suffering of animals. They also make tasteless jokes about how funny it is to watch a helpless animal be tortured or killed. That was dubyaismypresident's role on this thread. But, on others it is someone else.

Gun142, you remind me of this little kid in the sixth grade who used to run around to the bigger kids telling them things to get them angry and want to fight each other, just so he could see a fight. Did you go to Waller Elementary School in the early 1970s?

[Skooz]

I also did not call dubyaismypresident a clown.

[Gun142]

You have NO sense of humor.
Lighten up, Francis.

That was dubyaismypresident's role on this thread. But, on others it is someone else.

Name them. Let's root them out. You act as if you know all, prove what you say. We'll take that list to JimRob and get them banned.

The mindless idiots you refer to as 'bringing down the wrath' - Who are these "idiots" you speak of? Considering you posted that here, it's easy to assume you were referring to some Freepers, but then you change that to include any non-PETA individuals.
So, were you referring to Freepers or not in your first post?
Or was that aimed at some other forum I'm not aware of?

Wow, seems like you're only good for insults. You made a blanket statement, I'm just not letting you do that without proving yourself.

So far, you're coming up on the short end.

[Skooz]

Just wait until the next thread dealing with animal cruelty. They will be there. They always are.

I gave you the name of someone who was making jokes about the guy who tortured and killed the kitten. I "proved myself," whether you like it or not.

[Skooz]

Here's a thread with clowns aplenty.

If I thought you were worth it, I would post many more.

[Skooz]

We'll take that list to JimRob and get them banned.

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

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

Insecure men tend to hate cats.

Hey that's not true. I hate cats and I'm quite secure..err at least I think so.

[antaresequity]

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

BWahahahaHHHHaaaaaa ROFLMAO...Anger management?....What a joke....what a waste of taxpayers money
