Traffic stop saves cat from owner’s plate

[Fuzz]

Buffalo police rescued a cat from a Cheektowaga man who apparently was planning to make a meal out of his pet because he thought it was ill-tempered, authorities said Monday.

When Ferry-Fillmore District officers pulled over a car driven by Gary L. Korkuc on Sunday night during a traffic stop, they said they heard a cat crying from inside the trunk and investigated.

What they found has left animal lovers at the SPCA Serving Erie County in shock.

The cat, according to police, was in a cage “marinating” in a mixture of crushed red peppers, chili pepper, salt and oil.

1. That is SO wrong

Everyone knows you don't marinate cat with crushed red peppers. You're supposed to use green peppercorns.

2. OMG

:cry: poor cat. Too bad they can't marinate the owner, buck naked, in crushed red pepper, chili pepper, salt and oil. :(

spelling

3. Never mind the cat. Who marinates a live animal? This is just nuts.

12. Yeah the guy clearly has mental health problems. n/t

18. Somehow this fact offends me as a former chef more than if he had just killed the cat quickly

I have killed over 20,000 lobsters in my life but i never tortured one beforehand.

4. what is wrong with people. if you don't like the cat, take it to the animal shelter. geesh

14. or if a person is hungry go to a shelter, or Salvation Army.

geez, mental illness is correct here.

5. The guy is clearly insane,

You're supposed to skin the cat first, and then marinate the meat. Did he plan on eating the fur?! Cuckoo!

6. What

no fava beans - how uncivilized!

7. It's often said about 20% of the US population is border psychotic. I'm ready to

raise that percentage. This is really F'en sick.

9. Whata sicko...he even claims the cat-a neutered male--got pregnant!

Thank God for the happy ending, though.

[get the red out]

10. And HE thought the cat was ill-tempered?

The cat was living with a psycho-creep, what was he supposed to act like??????

[bdamomma]

13. some really sick people out there.

poor cat.

[RKP5637]

16. And sometimes these people have children too... gruesome... n/t

17. The SPCA needs to fire whoever gave him the cat

From the SPCA memo: He claims he did not want the cat because it was ‘possessive, greedy and wasteful.’ That the cat got pregnant after ‘spaying,’ even though it was a neutered male.

Someone really screwed up in adopted Navarro out to this schmuck. My little Axl has punctured holes in my shirts and even my flesh, but I still love him with all my heart. He's a misunderstood sweetie. Cats need understanding. Discipline, yes, when required, but also understanding.

19. may he receive the same treatment he planned for the cat--what a truly sick creep

[flvegan]

20. Ill-tempered?

Seriously though, I'm glad they caught this creep and saved this cat.
