Prison For Man Convicted of Tossing Kittens Into Fireplace

A man convicted of killing four of his girlfriend's kittens by throwing them into a fire was sentenced Thursday to nearly a year in prison despite the couple's pleas for leniency.

Circuit Judge John H. McDowell also urged authorities to investigate whether defendant [url=javascript:siteSearch('Robert L. Tomlin');]Robert L. Tomlin[/url]'s girlfriend, Kelli Green, participated in the animal abuse and then lied to police.
"You have given so many stories, conflicting stories, about what happened that evening that I don't believe a word you have to say right now," McDowell told Green after she spoke in Tomlin's defense.
McDowell ordered Tomlin to serve the maximum of 341 days in prison for violating his probation by moving back in with Green and her five remaining cats days after he pleaded guilty Nov. 13 to aggravated animal cruelty.
The plea bargain had included a suspended prison term with the condition that Tomlin avoid contact with Green and animals.
Green, 20, initially had implicated Tomlin in the July 2 deaths of her kittens but she recanted a month later.
"We were both drunk," she said in court Tuesday. "I barely remember anything from that night."

Talk about a cat on a hot tin roof.

Weak, I know. Shut up.

-HECK!

How f'n sick! And I'm sorry... I have NO sympathy for anyone who is cruel to animals. I KNOW that you will say that they aren't human beings. I don't care. Animals are precious, and we should treat them with love, and respect. To toss innocent kittens in the fire... no excuse. I don't care if you're drunk. He, and that lying bitch, deserve jail time. And they should NEVER be allowed to own an animal again.

Yeah, kittens aren't humans, but I'm not that mean. Cruelty to pets is bad. If you're a person that would do something like that then give the pet away and get some help.

-HECK!

Ever see fast food nation?

EWWW!

Hehe, too true.

I think you were going for, "This guy really wanted to get some hot pussy..." ????

On a serious note, though... My brother had a couple friends who microwaved a pet mouse until it exploded back when they were in like Jr high or something... Is that any different? MORE cruel? Stupid kids doing stupid things, but should it have led to the same kinda sentence that drunk idiots doing the same nonsense got?
