Police find live cat 'marinating' in car trunk

[Roon]

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Police say a traffic stop led to animal cruelty charges after they found a live cat "marinating" in oil and peppers in the trunk of a car.

Buffalo police say officers heard the cat meowing when they stopped 51-year-old Gary Korkuc of Cheektowaga to ticket him for running a stop sign Sunday night.

They say they checked the trunk and found 4-year-old Navarro in a cage, his fur covered with oil, crushed red peppers and chili peppers.

Police say he told them he was going to cook Navarro. Korkuc also told officers a number of things that didn't make sense, including that his neutered male cat was pregnant.

1. I heard about this earlier....

...I'm going to be nice, and not say what I think about that piece of shit.

2. I have a positive attitude about people in general -- that they are fundamentally GOOD...

...and virtually EVERY time some monstrous behavior like this is
discovered... there will be dozens, scores, HUNDREDS of people who
will be, not only willing, but EAGER to adopt this cat and give it
a life that will help make up for the horrors it has faced up to
this point.

3. Yikes - the man is clearly mentally ill. Poor chap.

God only knows what he might have done had the cops not discovered him now.

Give the poor thing some mental health help.

Oh, wait - we're still Post-Reagan and the mentally ill are still evil enough to despise and destroy, but not so much that we'd actually spend money helping them get better.

4. Maybe I'm just too nice, but it sounds to me like that man needs an evaluation.

I'm glad they saved Navarro (I don't think I have to mention how much of a cat lover I am), but it sounds to me like they should have found a way to make that man sit down with a mental health professional for a while before releasing him. Maybe he's just a cruel man, but some of those actions and comments sound a lot like paranoid schizophrenia. He could be a danger to more than cats, and maybe even more than himself, and from the brief description, maybe proper treatment could help prevent something worse down the road.

Or maybe he's just an ass. Still, they should have made some effort to determine which.
