3963.0. "Boston Herald story of abuse" by ASABET::CUNNIFF () Thu Aug 30 1990 13:09

    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Readers who don't want to read of something a sick bast*rd did to
    a kitten should press next unseen NOW.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I'm serious - you have to hit another return to see this.
    
    Something really nasty follows - PLEASE PRESS NEXT UNSEEN if
    you don't want to see it.
    
    
    
    
    From today's Boston Herald:
    
    "A 19-year-old Lowell man will be arraigned next week on charges he
    killed his roommate's 2-month-old kitten, baked the animal, and
    force-fed it to it's owner."
    
    I'm not going into details, suffice it to say that the story's on
    page 9 of today's Herald, and that Aaron Austin will be arraigned
    on charges of unlawfully killing an animal, which caries a jail
    sentence of up to five years.  
    
    -------------------------------------
    
    I'm too grossed out to type the article in, I'm sorry.

    	I heard about this this morning too Jack.  Someone actually
    	had the perverse pleasure of putting it under a 'things to
    	like today' topic in another notesfile.
    
    	This Aaron character is obviously very mentally disturbed
    	and needs help.....AFTER dealing with the likes of me and
    	other animal lovers....

    Yes, my husband called me this morning after hearing it on the radio. 
    This man is SICK!  I hope he gets the maximum sentence.  These are the
    times I wish I were a judge!
    
    (Jack, I did hear all of the details and agree they are too horrible to
    be retyped into this conference)

3963.3Give him the Maximum!!FSTTOO::HULLJust looking for some good clean fun!Thu Aug 30 1990 16:3016
    I read this article also.  It's enough to make you sick.
    
    A few more details that aren't so gory:
    
    The man who did it could get up to five years in prison for unlawfully 
    killing an animal, (hope he gets all five) and he is also being charged
    for cruelty to animals, and assault and battery to his roomate.
    
    Also, the owner also had another kitten (the brother of the one who was 
    killed - both two months old) and he gave it to the Lowell Humane Society
    so nothing would happen to it too.  There's a really cute picture of
    that kitty.   This is how the whole story came out - the Humane Society
    asked him why he was placing the kitty with them.
    
    So sad,
    Judie 
3963.4CRUISE::NDCPutiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313Thu Aug 30 1990 17:423
    For anyone who's interested, I understand that this Sh**head's address
    is also published in the Herald.
    
3963.5CRUISE::NDCPutiput Scottish Folds - DTN: 297-2313Thu Aug 30 1990 17:435
    This is especially difficult to deal with when you have 7 beautiful
    9 week old kittens running around too.  I look at those sweet faces
    and just get sick thinking about that ....oh I can't think of a bad
    enough name to call him!
    
3963.6JJLIET::JUDYYou're in the boomerang zoneThu Aug 30 1990 18:086
    
    
    	Thanks God I don't read the Herald....I don't think I could
    	handle all the details....what I've heard here is enough
    	to make me sick to my stomach.
    
3963.7he'll kill againTYGON::WILDEillegal possession of a GNUThu Aug 30 1990 18:155
the bad thing is that this man is a full-blown sociopath and DANGEROUS.  Five
years in prison won't change that - and therapy, even if provided, probably
wouldn't either....this is a profoundly damaged creature who will, eventually,
damage and/or kill others...human and animal.  They aren't born this way,
they get this way because they are raised by sociopaths.

    I hate to be judgemental but:
    
    ....thank the good Lord I didn't read about it or hear it on the news.
    
    It makes me physically ill to hear of that kind of abuse - I look at
    Sam and what he is going through now because of the abuse (physical
    AND mental) that he suffered for the past 3 or 4 years.  However, he is 
    one of the lucky ones that survived.
    
    I hope this is one time when the alleged offender....pays dearly.

    Forget the 5 year jail sentence.  Remove certain parts of his anatomy.
    
    
3963.11Drop him on Baghdad!!MCIS5::MCDONOUGHThu Aug 30 1990 21:085
      Yeah....like his HEAD!! What a sick S.O.B.!! A good candidate for
    permanent residence at Bridgewater State!

    They let killers of people out after they serve a short sentence,
    cause there aren't enough jails or mental wards around, and besides
    it costs to much money to lock these sicko's up. Really, how much
    time do you think this guy is going to serve? 
3963.13AYOV18::TWASONFri Aug 31 1990 07:1517
    I don't want to make anyone sick or anything, but there was a report
    in one of the Scottish newspapers a couple of days ago.
    
    Details are a bit sketchy but as far as I can remember a man in
    Wales was charged (don't remember what charge he received) with
    killing his neighbours cat by... ripping out it's toungue.  He then
    smeared the cats blood all over the owners downstairs windows.
    
    The cat died I assume from shock and a sever loss of blood.
    
    It just goes to show you, that the sickos are widespread.

    p.s. I really wanted to rip his tongue out and rap it round his
    neck.
3963.14I hope he never has children....(shudder)BOOVX2::MANDILEFri Aug 31 1990 15:2315
    I had a nightmare last night about this story.  What a sick
    b*st*rd to do that to that poor little baby, and to the room
    mate, too.  Having to live with that horrible memory for the
    rest of your life is going to be tough.  I hugged my 4 "kids"
    this morning....
    
    Re .11 - No thanks!  I don't want him near my house, I live
            somewhat close to Bridgewater State.  Well, on the
            other hand, I could always bring him a pie with a
            little "extra" additive in it, and I don't mean a
            saw!!!!

    Personally. I don't read this file to read descriptions
    of atrocities that we can do nothing  about.  Are people planning
    to continue this thread much longer?  If so, I'm leaving until
    it dies down.
    
3963.16I'm with KarenVAXWRK::SKALTSISDebFri Aug 31 1990 18:334
    I've got to agree with Karen. *I* personally am getting a bit tired of
    seeing it myself.
