Oh- that post about the poor cats made my head spin! There are people on this site who are telling us we NEED stronger animla protection laws!
Perhaps hubby got the rough justice he deserved?
Or perhaps his wife is one of those lunatic animal lovers that ought to be shoved into a nice cozy and well padded cell and left to enjoy her new found sense of peace and tranquilized privacy?
Or maybe she is just your basic garden variety crazy and hubby was living with a deadly threat tjhat could snap at any time?
There is not sufficient information in the post to formulate a more detailed response.
It is unfortunate that LIE-berals so seldom take mental health issues seriously!

An animal cruelty investigation has been launched after 14 geese were found mutilated in the northwest part of the city.
Toronto police were called to an industrial neighbourhood in Humberlea on Clayson Rd., just north of Bartor Rd. and Hwy 400 early on Monday evening.
The dead geese were found with various injuries that included decapitation, tearing of wings and legs and snapped necks.
Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said the injuries aren’t consistent with an attack by another animal as the carcasses were intact.
“There are a lot of questions. What was seen was unusual and that’s we feel the need to reach out to the public,” she said.
It’s also unclear how so many birds could be targeted before they could fly away.
Police and the Canadian Wildlife Enforcement Directorate are conducting a joint investigation to identify and arrest who is responsible.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-3100 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).

Arkansas men who slit dog’s throat, posted video online avoid jail

BASTROP, La. — A judge has ordered probation, a fine and community service for an Arkansas man who slit a pit bull’s throat on camera in Louisiana and another man who made the video and posted it on Snapchat.
Steven Sadler and video-maker Boots Stanley, both of Hamburg, Arkansas, were sentenced Thursday in Morehouse Parish on one count each of aggravated animal cruelty, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
“Given the inhumane and vicious nature of this crime, the District Attorney’s office requested that the judge impose a severe sentence commensurate with the crime. However, the District Attorney acknowledges that the Court has sole discretion in sentencing,” District Attorney Steve Tew said in an emailed statement.
Each man got three years of probation, a $5,000 fine, and 480 hours of community service, Lewis Unglesby, one of Stanley’s attorneys, said in a phone interview from Baton Rouge. Donating $5,000 to the Morehouse Parish Humane Society would cancel half the community service, he said.
Judge Carl Sharp suspended a 3-year prison sentence for each and barred them from owning any animals for a year, Tew said.
The men pleaded guilty in April to the felony. Tew had told The Associated Press in March that he didn’t expect a plea agreement because Sadler is an avid hunter and federal law forbids felons to possess guns.
Sadler’s attorney, Bobby Underwood, did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Sadler originally had been charged with four counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, and both men had been charged with conspiracy.
According to the arrest warrant, the video first shows the dog trying to keep its balance on the rump of a horse being ridden by Stanley, with men’s laughter in the background. It took several tries to cut the dog’s throat, according to the warrant.
Sharp said the men’s probation could be reduced after the first year if they are found to have behaved well and complied with terms of their probation, The News-Star and KNOE-TV reported. If they don’t pay the fine, they would have to spend a year in the parish jail.

Gosh- maybe if LIE-berals had not lied so often about crime rates thwre might actually be some cops available to go investigate this stuff?
Too bad the few cops that are still on the job are chasing the accomplices of the nut who shot the two girls in Scarborough! Short handed they may be but cops have already made one arrest!
WE can guess the political pressure being put on cops by the likes of Jackass John Tory will be HUGE!
Tory has repeatedly whined about the size of the police budget and has shrugged off multi year reports of senior cops quitting - without the bother of hiring any new cops- after all- Toronto Silly Hall needs ALL its gravy to buy support from bigots at Black Lives Matter and to deal with the vast swarming masses of illegals piling up in Toronto!
Jackass John Tory is probably praying that Santa will give him a couple hundred more cops for Christmas!
Silly Hall has been trying all year to hire more cops and of the 200 new hires they have budgeted for- so far they have only been able to hire 20!
So I say CONGRATULATIONS to LIE-berals- you have made the job of being a cop so loathsome and ugly with your constant racist interference that people are SHUNNING a job that pays $100 grand a year for a first class constable- and that DOES NOT count benefits and pension!

A man convicted of running an international chicken fighting business is claiming the whole thing is one big cock-up.
Cops say Thomas Carrano, 44, raised more than 100 game birds to do battle in the brutal blood sport of cockfighting.
Carrano claimed on his Facebook page that it was all a misunderstanding.
He lives in Western New York and claims he is a believer in the preservation of the birds.
But a Manhattan jury wasn’t buying it and found him guilty of raising, transporting and selling roosters for the purpose of fighting.
Carrano’s buddy Ron Porter — treasurer of the New York chapter of the United Gamefowl Breeders Association — said the chickens were better off with his pal than the feds.

“When they took Tommy’s chickens, they treated them piss-poorly,” Porter told the New York Daily News. “They mistreated them.”
He added that because the birds were put in cages next to each other, their natural territorial instincts triggered fighting.
“They have an instinct to be a little nasty,” Porter said. “Nobody can make them fight, they have an instinct that way.”
Eventually, the feds destroyed the birds and Porter remains convinced Carrano “got the shaft.”

Carrano was busted last May at his Ontario, N.Y. farm, where investigators found cockfighting paraphernalia along with 104 chickens, 31 of them roosters.
The feds said many of the birds had been mutilated for cockfighting.
Investigators also subpoenaed social media accounts that Carrano controlled and found messages sent to an indicted co-conspirator in the Bronx.
The twosome discussed training roosters for cockfighting and selling metal and plastic spurs used to make the territorial birds more lethal in the ring.
“Thomas Carrano, the leader of an association that claimed to ‘not promote cockfighting in any way,’ was convicted of that very thing,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said.
“(He) cared not a whit for the welfare of the roosters he raised, sold and transported for participation in the cruel and inhumane ‘sport’ of cockfighting. Thanks to the ASPCA and our law enforcement counterparts, justice has come home to roost for Thomas Carrano.”

AS I have said before- stupid black people too often are the authors of their own misfortune- they simply behave stupidly when confronted by cops for LEGITIMATE REASONS- like outstanding arrest warrants!
Too many black people think that being a drug dealer, pimp or dealer in stolen goods are viable jobs!
And too many blacks think that invoking their voodoo chant: "why are you bothering me, I didnt do NOTHING' will make all their legal troubles vanish!
Blacks are weirdly convinced that shouting "I didnt do nothing" will somehow make cops disappear- or render that black thug invisible to cops or something!
Here is an article exposing some popular LIE-beral myths. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Many progressives causes are based on myths
By Lorne Gunter , Edmonton Sun. First posted: Tuesday, July 26, 2016 06:59 PM EDT | Updated: Tuesday, July 26, 2016 07:13 PM EDT
Many of the causes championed by “progressive” politicians like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and Ontario’s Kathleen Wynne are based on myths.
The myth that police are inherently racist, that income distribution is unfair, that the rich don’t pay their share of taxes, that a “green” energy future free of fossil fuels is just a wand-wave away, that higher taxes and deficit spending will grow the economy, that radical Islam is not a threat, that governments spend less on First Nations than on other Canadians, and so on, are all mostly wrong.
Like many myths, though, they are very powerful, especially in the age of social media where trendy ideas go viral almost instantly.
The problem with myths, though, is that if governments devise public policy based on them, they will never solve real problems. They will simply waste time and billions of tax dollars on social programs that will have little or no effect.
The hottest example of myth-making in the public realm at the moment is the Black Lives Matters movement in the United States.
There’s no denying police in some places in the U.S. stop and search African-American males more often and with less cause than they do white males.
A recent study by Harvard economist Roland Fryer, who is black, found police were 17 per cent more likely to lay their hands on blacks than on whites they had stopped. They were 18 per cent more likely to shove an African-American against a wall, 16 per cent more likely to use handcuffs and 25 per cent more likely to use a baton (although police use batons against blacks during just five in every 10,000 stops).
But the finding that surprised Fryer (and most other observers) was that African-Americans were actually 22 per cent LESS likely to be shot by police.
You wouldn’t know it from media reports, but American cops don’t shoot more blacks than whites.
The belief that whites are targeting blacks is not borne out by FBI statistics, either.
In 2014, there were just over 6,000 murders in the U.S. in which the race of the victim and killer were known.
Just seven per cent of black murder victims were killed by whites; 91 per cent were killed by other blacks- a fact never mentioned by Black Lives Matter. African-Americans also committed 48 per cent of American murders, despite being just 12 per cent of the U.S. population. Meanwhile whites committed 47 per cent, even though they make up 63 per cent of Americans.
No doubt there is still real racism in the U.S. And it is something Americans must confront.
But permitting the myth to spread unchecked that police and other whites are targeting blacks- and to have the myth reinforced by progressive politicians willing to play the race card to win votes- is having disastrous consequences on American society.
Canada’s progressives fan similar myths over the number of aboriginals in our jails. They insist First Peoples are “over represented” in Canadian prisons.
(OF course natives are `over represented` -its what happens when your life is screwed up and you make stupid mistakes!)
This feeds race-based resentment towards the police and the justice system. So far, this resentment has not metastasized the way it has in the States, but it has led to more lenient sentencing laws for aboriginals and expensive new social programs.
The truth, though, is that First Peoples are incarcerated in almost exactly the same proportion as the amount of crime they commit. They are not victims of widespread, official racism.
But don’t tell that to progressive politicians or reporters. They want to see themselves as saviours of the oppressed. So even where people are not oppressed, they have to believe they are.
Poor tecumseh girly- he is watching as his entire political world crumbles around him!
ALL LIE-beral policy is in the process of being FLUSHED -like turds in a toilet!
Trump has just won a verdict from U.S. Supreme Court that he CAN BAN travellers from Muslim countries on security grounds!
And Our idiot Boy here in Canada is sliding like a political clown car on ice into a storm of protest and complaint over his collection of illegals that he has rounded up like a crazy cat lady collecting strays!
And with predictable results! Our idiot Boy Justin desperately NEEDS votes in Quebec- and the govt there has refused to keep any more illegals! So the idiot Boy now ships them off to Ontari-owe!
Problem is Ontari-owe is STONY BROKE thanks to Wynne-bag LIE-berals and there is growing frustration with that stream of illegals- and no place to put them either!
And even worse there is no patience in Ontari-owe for paying for federal vote buying crap- Ontari-owe municipal LIE-berals need every penny for THEMSELVES!
And as the LIE-beral sponsored trade war ramps up it is increasingly obvious that Our idiot Boy and his careless indifference to national security are to blame!
Even worse- Our idiot Boy paid out $4.7 billion dollars to buy the Kinder Morgan pipeline and it is now getting OBVIOUS that he bought the pipeline only so he could control and KILL IT!
The Kinder Morgan pipeline will NOT EVER BE BUILT BY A LIE_BERAL GOVT!
In other news-t is nice- I guess that Our idiot Boy has chosen to send some helicopters to the "peace mission" in Mali- but of course the Cdn copters will NOT TAKE PART IN ANY FIGHTING!!!
The Cdn mission to Mali is all about evacuating U.N. soldiers hurt in the fighting and rushing them to medical aid!
The Cdn mission to Mali is the absolute, utter MINIMUM that Canada can do to help out!
Yes- one day soon federal LIE-berals will be joining their Ontari-owe cousins in singing that old Five Man Electrical Band tune "Absolutely Right"!
Come on T-gurly- sing it for me! You know the words: "much to my surprise I find that you were absolutely right! You have been right all along. |You were absolutely right and I was wrong"!
Do you have ANY idea how much money LIE-berals could earn if they got up on stage and sang that song with real feeling?
They could sell so many tickets and make so much money they would not need to steal it from us any more with their carbon crap- and trade scams!

A Mississauga man is charged after a dog was brutally beaten by the side of a highway in Bowmanville.
On Monday just after 8:30 p.m., Durham Regional Police were called to a highway off-ramp in the area of Bennett Rd. and Hwy. 401 for reports of a golden retriever being assaulted.
“(A man) was travelling with the dog and pulled over and started viciously hitting the dog repeatedly,” Const. George Tudos alleged Tuesday. “Citizens stopped to give the dog assistance, but he put the dog back in the vehicle and continued beating the dog (until police arrived).”
The dog was taken with life-threatening injuries to an animal clinic for care.
“The dog is in grave condition and hopefully there will be a positive outcome,” Tudos said.
Police believe the man is the dog’s owner.
Jonathan Dunbar, 23, of Mississauga, is charged with cruelty to animals. He was released on a promise to appear.
Anyone with information is asked to call 1-888-579-1520, ext. 1687 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

HANNA — A mother and daughter are once again at the centre of an animal cruelty case in B.C.
Karin Adams and her daughter, Catherine, who were already under a 20-year ban on owning animals from a conviction in B.C. in 2015, are facing new charges of animal cruelty from the BC SPCA.
Catherine is also due back in an Alberta court in August for sentencing after being found guilty in February on two counts of animal cruelty in Hanna.
In the latest case, the BC SPCA confirmed Wednesday that 16 dogs in distress had been seized from a property in Quesnel.
The dogs — including German shepherds, a Yorkshire terrier, a retriever, bull terriers, standard poodle, Portuguese water dogs, a Pekingese, corgi-border collie crosses and miniature poodles — were found in crates too small for their sizes and lived on feces- and urine-soaked matting.
The area they were housed in was also poorly ventilated, with the animals having little or no access to water.
“It is extremely frustrating when we deal with repeat offenders, particularly those who breach the terms of their sentencing,” Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA, wrote in a news release announcing the seizures.
“However, we are now pleased that the dogs are now safe and are getting the attention and care they need.”
In 2015, the mother and daughter pleaded guilty in an animal cruelty case involving more than 100 animals, which the SPCA seized from their property in 2014.
Karin was sentenced to 15 days in jail and two years of probation at the time, while Catherine received six-month conditional house arrest and three years of probation.
On Feb. 28, 2018, Catherine was found guilty on two counts of animal cruelty while Karin was found not guilty after the Crown failed to prove that both women lived at the residence near Hanna.
Catherine, due back in court Aug. 22 for sentencing, asked at the time of the verdict if she could get the seized animals back, noting “it’s my right to try to get them back.”
Catherine faces a maximum penalty of five years in custody in Alberta.

Catherine is also due back in an Alberta court in August for sentencing after being found guilty in February on two counts of animal cruelty in Hanna.
In the latest case, the BC SPCA confirmed Wednesday that 16 dogs in distress had been seized from a property in Quesnel.
The dogs — including German shepherds, a Yorkshire terrier, a retriever, bull terriers, standard poodle, Portuguese water dogs, a Pekingese, corgi-border collie crosses and miniature poodles — were found in crates too small for their sizes and lived on feces- and urine-soaked matting.
The area they were housed in was also poorly ventilated, with the animals having little or no access to water.
“It is extremely frustrating when we deal with repeat offenders, particularly those who breach the terms of their sentencing,” Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA, wrote in a news release announcing the seizures.
“However, we are now pleased that the dogs are now safe and are getting the attention and care they need.”
In 2015, the mother and daughter pleaded guilty in an animal cruelty case involving more than 100 animals, which the SPCA seized from their property in 2014.
Karin was sentenced to 15 days in jail and two years of probation at the time, while Catherine received six-month conditional house arrest and three years of probation.
On Feb. 28, 2018, Catherine was found guilty on two counts of animal cruelty while Karin was found not guilty after the Crown failed to prove that both women lived at the residence near Hanna.
Catherine, due back in court Aug. 22 for sentencing, asked at the time of the verdict if she could get the seized animals back, noting “it’s my right to try to get them back.”
Catherine faces a maximum penalty of five years in custody in Alberta.

Animal rights activist Malcolm Kilmowicz, faces breaking and entering charges.
Malcolm Kilmowicz says he’ll face charges of breaking and entering if it puts the spotlight on the alleged animal rights abuses he has documented at a mink fur farm.
The activist videoed graphic images of conditions at a Durham fur farm one night in June 2017 and posted the images online.
“Most people would see what I did as in the interest of public good,” Kilmowicz said outside Oshawa court Thursday, after making his first appearance on the breaking and entering charges.
His video allegedly shows minks overcrowded in cages with babies and dead bloated carcasses. Minks are self mutilating and cannibalizing each other.

“People are breaking the OSPCA act against cruelty to animals and the system of enforcement isn’t being upheld. It was always in the back of my head that I could get in trouble, but that didn’t matter,” he said.
There is no reason to prosecute, insisted defense lawyer Leo Salloum, who also helped defend another animal rights activist, Anita Krajnc, who was found not guilty in 2017 of mischief for giving pigs water as they were on their way to slaughter.
“(Kilmowicz) was showing courage in the face of shocking animal cruelty and the government is stepping in, in an act of censorship. It’s a major overreaction,” Salloum said, adding the prosecuters allowed the statute for trespassing charges to pass.
Kilmowicz added all he did was hop a fence and didn’t even have to open a door to document what was happening at the mink farm.
“This has generated media attention, so (the Crown is) acting in a heavy-handed fashion,” Salloum argued.
Adam Stirr — one of about was with about two dozen people protesting in support of Kilmowicz outside the courthouse — said the activists is a whistleblower.
“When a member of the public watches what he recorded, well nobody can be OK with that cruelty . Somebody had to step up,” Stirr said.
Kilmowicz will be back in court on Aug. 2. No one from the mink farm was in court Thursday.

TRUSSVILLE, Ala. — An Alabama woman charged with animal cruelty after her dog died while locked in a hot car said she doesn’t recall the events that led to the animal’s death.
Stephanie Shae Thomas, 34, of Trussville told WVTM-TV in an interview Friday she is a longtime drug addict with bipolar disorder, and she recently ran out of her medication.
Thomas said she didn’t remember driving to the Walmart store where the animal, a 7-year-old rescue named Sky, died in the parking lot in an incident captured on video.
“Just thinking about what she went through the last moments she was alive,” Thomas said. “She had to be waiting for me to come out there and help her. And I didn’t.”
Authorities said the animal was in the car for as long as seven hours on July 4, when temperatures soared into the 90s.
Thomas was released on $25,000 bond early Friday after spending a few hours in custody, Jefferson County jail records showed.
Police had to break a window to get to the dog, which had been left in the car outside a Walmart in Trussville. Video shot by a bystander showed officers unsuccessfully trying to revive the animal.
Court records weren’t available to show whether Thomas had a lawyer who could speak on her behalf. But Thomas told the TV station she wished she could change things.
“Ultimately, I killed my dog,” Thomas said through tears. “I can’t change that. I want to, but I can’t.”
Lt. Phil Dillon told news outlets Thomas went to the Trussville Police Department the day after the dog died and told officers she left the dog in her vehicle while she went inside to shop.
“She stated that she never went outside the store to check on the dog and that she lost track of time while she was shopping,” said Dillon.
Store workers paged the woman over a public address system several times but there was no response, he said.
“What she was doing there we don’t know, but she doesn’t work there,” Dillon said.

Portuguese lawmakers overwhelmingly reject proposal to ban bullfighting

LISBON, Portugal — Portugal’s parliament has voted overwhelmingly against a bill banning bullfights, which are a traditional summer event.
A lone lawmaker with the People-Animals-Nature party tabled the bill Friday, but it earned just 31 votes in the 230-seat Republican Assembly, Portugal’s parliament.
Unlike in Spain, bulls are not killed in the ring in Portugal, but are slaughtered out of sight afterward. The bull is jabbed with barbed sticks in the arena and taunted by ‘forcados’ who try to grab it.
Andre Silva, the animal rights lawmaker who authored the defeated bill, says bullfighting is torture.
Bullfighting supporters insist they have a constitutional right to cultural entertainment and say bullfighting has a long history in Portugal.
Though bullfighting events occasionally draw protesters, there is no groundswell of public opinion behind a ban.
