Windsor is a Canadian border city, immediately south (yes south) of Detroit
I hope the guilty parties in this story get punished severely. Unfortunately, I don't think much has changed in Canadian law, since two teens were given the pathetic maximum sentence of just six months, for making a videotape of themselves skinning a cat alive, back in 2001.
It' enough to make you want to take the law into your own hands....
FAMILY FEARS THEIR CAT COOKED
WINDSOR—A woman who left her home in the temporary care of a couple returned to make a gruesome discovery in the refrigerator: a pot containing the remains of what appeared to be a cooked cat.
"It is strange, there is no question about it," Windsor police Staff Sgt. Ed McNorton said yesterday about the alleged killing and eating of the pet. "We've seen animal abuse before ... but nothing like this."
Officers were called to a west-end duplex Sunday night by a woman who had left her apartment in the care of a 24-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman.
The tenant came home to find the place abandoned and in disarray. Then she looked in the fridge.
"It was absolutely disgusting, I couldn't believe it," said neighbour Sherry Hughes, who entered the apartment and saw the animal's remains.
Police suspect it's all that's left of Prowler, who lived with the Hughes family and went missing less than a week earlier.
"It's very upsetting, very, very heartbreaking," said Hughes, adding her children and grandmother are distraught.
The couple that lived temporarily in the house were interviewed by detectives yesterday morning and released pending further investigation.
