To be glad cat killer has been jailed

[Furries]

Am so pleased to see that the Brighton cat killer has been jailed for five years.

I know not everyone likes cats, but I don’t think IBU to think that you don’t go killing or maiming them. Feel so sorry for the owners who lost their cats or had to deal with horrific injuries.

He should get a life sentence.

Ian Brady started off by torturing cats and look where that led.

There has been a cat killer up here in a tiny local village in Scotland too. I think they were poisoned with antifreeze.

Evil.

I genuinely think he’s a serial killer (of humans) in the making. I feel so sorry for those poor cats and their owners.

Put him in front of a couple tigers see how he feels about cats then.

Psychopath.
He will kill again if he gets the chance.

5 years isn't long enough. He should be monitored closely on release to make sure he doesn't do similar again or commit worse crimes. Anyone who can torture or kill animals for kicks is a sick and dangerous individual.

I thought there was a very clear and well researched link between people who torture and/or kill animals eventually moving on to humans (usually women or children)?

I hope there is some sort of plan to monitor him when he is released. He is clearly a very unwell, extremely dangerous man.

He is a cruel evil man who requires monitoring on release.

Hope he gets what he deserves. Now time to spare a thought for the millions of innocent animals in barns,cages and slaughter houses. They suffer horrifically and we can stop funding this god fucking awful industry.

What he did was beyond awful. What he would have potentially moved onto is terrifying.

I assume, since there did not appear to be a mental health related defence, that he did it simply because he enjoyed killing them.

Good

Couldn't care less about cats particularly but abhor animal cruelty.

This would surely have escalated though, the kind of psychopath that enjoys killing defenceless animals should not be out walking the streets.

I’m really hoping that the 3% who have voted I’m unreasonable have done so because they think the sentence isn’t long enough.

If not, there are some questionable people on here!

I agree with others. I hope that the cancer gets him just before he is due to be released. And, if not, that he is monitored when he leaves prison - can easily see him escalating.

It’s weird, isn’t it, how some people look plain evil. The photo of him sends shivers down my spine.

Would honestly support the death penalty for the scumbag.

@DismantledKing

In that article it says that he has thyroid cancer that has spread to his liver and lungs. Looks like that five years might be a life sentence then. Good.

I hope that all the prisoners on his wing are cat lovers and the prison healthcare service is short-staffed and slow to act.

I have no doubt that he would have moved onto humans - probably women - if he wasn't caught.

Great news.

Also hope he was the one killing other animals.

Awful. Also terrifying that he was in the Navy and previously had access to weapons.

Bastard. Deserves longer.

I don't think it would take this sicko long to move onto a human, most likely a woman being physically weaker.
Thankfully the neighbours set up cctv.
The stories from the families were awful.

The report said after they had the film it still took a year to prosecute and the way it's phrased seemed to imply this seemed like surprisingly long.

It's a circular thing.

I worked with serious ex-offenders and there were a few ex-military. It's chicken and egg. Did their lack of empathy lead to a career with the risk of killing and death? Or did the trauma of doing the job lead to the offending?

Five years is a lot when rapists and child abusers sometimes don't get that. There's a very serious public safety issue with this one as well as the animal cruelty.

Quick update on this. Did anyone see the ITV documentary last week regarding this case? It was called How to Catch a Cat Killer.

Was interesting seeing the evidence build up, but he still kept denying it was him.

He died in January this year, so only served 6 months of his sentence.

I hope the death was painful.

It's less than 45 minutes' drive from Brighton to Croydon. It takes longer than that to get from Madeira Drive to Ditchling in rush hour. That's not to say there aren't other sick fucks out there, but he's vastly more likely to have been doing it further away from home first before getting comfortable with how he'd been described as 'a fox' by the idiots from the local Plod who didn't really give a shit in the first place.

Excellent news. Karma came for the scum.
