"gets off mutilating and killing animals"
Lots of people get off killing animals (deer, ducks, pigs, turkeys, cows). Putting a bullet or arrow through an animal is apparently as illating as it is mutilating.
I guess I should have known some anti-hunting bleeding heart would compare shooting a deer with torturing/mutilating a cat for fun...
Hunting for food is different than killing a cat for fun.
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson, who represents the area, called him ``twisted and depraved, somehow really not right as a human being.''there ya go, tlong (and boutons)Akers said she was surprised a kid from the neighborhood committed the killings. Still, she said, Weinman should receive a stiff sentence for what he did to his feline victims.
''I'm glad he's 18, because now he can be tried as an adult,'' she said. ``If he's in prison for life, that would suit me just fine.''
it's not really killing if it's not the cat's 9th life.
oh and sick bas !! hope you're going to jail.
Oh sure. Let's send an 18 year old to prison for life for killing some cats.
He didn't just kill them. He tortured and mutilated them.
My first cat, by the name of Dude, suddenly went missing a couple years ago when I let him out to roam a little. We were very close. He slept by my pillow almost every night I had him for. I wonder if a similar fate befell him and it sickens me to do so. If I ever found out a nearby senior in high school ing tortured him ... oh the anger.![]()
what's the point of arguing anymore with people like tlong? People like him think this guy is just a normal guy having a little fun, although in a bad way.
This dude is a sick, twisted individual with something wrong with him (the cat mutilator, not tlong).
maybe the jury will slap the guy with a $500 fine or 30 days in jail and tlong will be happy. Hopefully though, the jury will be made up of normal people with normal sensibilities.
If I had to put money on whether this guy will grow up to be the CEO of a large, successful corporation, or another Ted Bundy, well you know which I would pick.
Who would want to hurt this little guy?

The same could be said of tlong for "accepting" this kind of behavior.
You've really got to be a different kind of cat to be able to carry out such actions on such an innocent creature.
I never said I "accepted" this behavior. The behavior certainly doesn't warrant life imprisonment though.
i guess yall never worked or lived on a ranch or farm? killing animals (not for food) is part of the job
trueThe behavior certainly doesn't warrant life imprisonment though
wrong. The whole meaning of this incident is that he caught cats and 1. gouged their eyes out and or 2. cut off their noses and or 3. partially skinned them and or 4. whatever else his sicko mind thought of.i guess yall never worked or lived on a ranch or farm? killing animals (not for food) is part of the job
shooting rodents and other pest animals on a ranch is NOT THE SAME.
when a domestic, pet cat comes up to you to get its ears scratched or whatever, and then you mutilate it and kill it... you are a ing sick bas .
I wouldn't mind if that kid gets locked away for life.
I don't give a about animals, but any 18 year old who skins and mutilates cats in his free time doesn't deserve freedom.
Ok , he might not deserve life in prison, but this guy needs to be put in an ins ution. Someone who mutilate 30 something cats is a total whack job and needs to be put in a mental ins ute. Who knows what/who he will kill next.

A teenager is being held on 19 counts of animal cruelty linked to a month-long killing spree of pet cats in the Miami area, police said. Tyler Hayes Weinman, 18, also is charged with 19 counts of improper disposal of dead animals and four counts of burglary, police said.
Weinman lives in Cutler Bay and has lived with his parents in Palmetto Bay, the two towns where police said 19 cats were mutilated and killed.
Pet owners and police began discovering disfigured cats May 13. One pet owner, Donna Gleason, said her family cat, Tommy, was "partially skinned" and left dead in her yard.
Police said 34 cats have been found dead in the towns, but only 19 mutilated cats could be linked to a serial killer. Police confirmed that some of the cats were killed by dogs, said Maj. Julie Miller of Cutler Bay police.
Weinman, who works odd jobs but spends most of his time at home and unemployed, had been a person of interest for several weeks, Miller said. He was arrested Saturday.
The police are looking into whether any people Weinman associates with might have been accomplices in the killings. Weinman's sealed juvenile record includes two prior offenses, Miller said.
He could face a maximum of 158 years in state prison if convicted on all counts, said Terry Shavez, spokeswoman for the state attorney's office.
The mayor of Cutler Bay referred to the string of feline attacks as a "plague in South Miami-Dade."
"The cruelty of these crimes were horrific for the animal victims, but there were many human victims as well," Mayor Paul Vrooman said.
"Let's not forget the children and the families who found their pets mutilated. These awful scenes inflicted a human toll."

So what do you think is adequate punishment?
Do you realize that psychologically speaking, individuals who hurt animals are EXTREMELY likely, almost guaranteed, to abuse people as well? This isn't just some guy getting his jollies off. He's hurting defenseless creatures. That hints at a far darker mindset than you appear to be thinking about.
I should point out that this individual is just a suspect and has not been convicted yet. There is a video of his initial court appearance on the CNN link.

My dad told me that he used to tie 2 cats tails together and throw them over a clothesline when he was a kid in Tennessee. Should he be executed too?

Relevance?
Way to be an idiot to intentionally not respond to the question.
its bs if his getting 150yrs
sometimes i think being a fkn pet, you get better rights and treated better than a human being.
eg. if ur a dog u go up to the president, you likely get cuddled or play fetch
if ur a person, a nobody you probably get a punch in the face by SS.
