So sad, and so despicable.
A man from Illinois has admitted to slitting the throat of his brother’s cat out of drunken revenge. It makes us sick just to hear something like that.
There is no excuse for something like this, yet Sean Mulcahy claims it was because he found out his brother was having an affair with his fiancée.
So horrible:
After cutting the animal’s throat, Mulcahy apparently texted his brother a picture of the butchered animal, with a message reading, “this is what you did to me.”
And here’s what Sean told the judge:
“It was definitely fueled by out-of-control emotions as well as alcohol. I am deeply sorry, sir.”
Sorry doesn’t cut it to us, but apparently it does to that judge, because Sean is getting NO jail time!
Instead, he’s getting 30 months of probation and 150 hours of community service:
As part of his probation, he will be prohibited from owning pets, will not be allowed to drink alcohol, and will undergo continued psychological treatment.
This does not sound like enough to us. At all. We’re outraged by the fact that this man with previous arrests and violent tendencies is not getting the 180 days jail time that was sought. The 180 days should be IN ADDITION to what he was given.
Poor Kitty. This just isn’t right.
