In more news of violent psychopaths hiding successfully in civil society, the Cat Welfare Society has issued an alert about a despicable man in Tampines who was seen killing a cat in the most inhumane, brutal way possible.
According to their Facebook post, a young Chinese male was seen slamming a cat onto the ground twice in the vicinity of Block 884 along Tampines Street 83 last Wednesday night. As if the cruelty wasn’t wanton enough, he reportedly tried burning it with a lighter.
The witness who saw the whole thing was alerted from her unit on the third floor after hearing a cat shrieking in agony. Finding nothing downstairs, she went back to the house, but heard another shriek.
It was from their third-floor kitchen window that she saw a pool of water and a man throwing something on the ground twice before bending down with his lighter. Alas, the witness realised that it was a cat he was trying to light up, and ran downstairs with her daughter.
When they approached the man — said to be in his 20s — he quickly walked away. They’ve since reported the case to the police and the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), who’ve retrieved the cat’s body for autopsy.
Sadly enough, this was the second similar case to happen — another cat that went missing on May 20 turned up dead with blood oozing out of its mouth. Day later, another cat was found with a dislocated leg.
It’s been a couple of quiet months for the state of stray cat abuse in Yishun, ever since two suspects were arrested by the police. One of them — 40-year-old Lee Wai Leong — pleaded guilty in court of tossing a cat over the parapet of the 13th floor of a HDB block along Yishun Ring Road. We’re sure that it’ll be some time before the authorities finally catch the Tampines cat killer — after all, it took a couple of months of horrible cat deaths in Yishun before suspects were identified and nabbed.
