What is it about people who abuse their significant others' pets? A 24-year-old construction worker David Wrigley was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after crushing and squeezing the cats.
The cats, tabby Madeline and black cat Jynx, belonged to his girlfriend Sara Sabol, whose Selden, Long Island home Wrigley moved into at the beginning of the month. According to police lieutenant Michael Murphy, "The cats didn't take to him. They didn't like him, wouldn't come over and crawl on his lap type of thing. So - and this is his version - he was trying to get them to like him...The cats were hiding under the bed. ... He pulled the bed out, then slammed it against the wall, crushing the cats."
Then, Murphy said Wrigley "grabbed, squeezed and tugged" them. When Sabol returned home on February 23 and found the "sluggish" cats, Wrigley wouldn't tell her what was wrong. Madeline, with a broken sternum and every rib broken, died and Jynx was found to have 13 broken ribs. Sabol told the Daily News, "I wish he would've hit me. At least I could hit back."
According to Newsday, Wrigley, who pleaded not guilty, said, "I never meant to hurt anything. It's bad enough that I lost a girl that I love." And Lt. Murphy advised, "If you don't like cats, you shouldn't get involved with a girl who loves her cats." Here's more information on fighting animal cruelty.

The cats were right.
his defense will not that he's gay, but that he's a vegetarian.

Its going to be hard to find a jury that is non-bias to animals.
What an asshat. Here's hoping he gets the maximum sentence.

That's so Dwight.
he could have just taken them down to CHINATOWN and got 5 bucks a kitten...idiot..
I had a girlfriend for a few months whose cat I would have liked to have killed. But I didn't. This damned pussy practically growled at me every time I entered her apartment. That's why I tolerated her cat.
Sick fucks like this turn out to be serial killers. Throw the douchebag in jail and get him some mental help.
"It’s a feral barn cat. I trapped him last night and I’m giving him to you as a replacement cat for the one I destroyed.
"And his name is Garbage. Mose calls him Garbage because he likes to eat garbage."
When this guy tells other inmates that he hugged some cats to death, but didn't mean it, I hope he's offered the same consideration.
I have no problem saying I love my cat more than most humans. If anyone were to hurt him, I'd be tossed in jail myself.
Why do people have this logic that if you care for a cat (any animal) you can not therefore care for humans (ZERO SUM LOGIC). It seem to be the logic of neglect and violence, of fucked up systems of beliefs: of the primitives and social scum
IN FACT fuckers that neglect and abuse other beings are actually more prone to violence to others.
Abuse to animals is a SERIOUS symptom of antisocial behavior, besides all other moral and ethical issues. If it was up to me, I would gladly send this fucker to sleep.
If I read one more story like this I may have to kill myself. Just too sad.
Maybe he thought they really did have 9 lives.
Er, uhm. Is this thing on?

I hope he burns in Hell
What a horrible horrible little man! To beat up defenseless animals! It just makes me sick! He should have to wear a sign that tells everyone what he did for the rest of his life!
