barnesville cat killer back on the prowl...

if you live in the city of barnesville, you might want to keep a close eye on your felines.

over the last two weeks, two cats have been shot to death - apparently with a .22 caliber rifle, two more are missing and one is an amputee after going through $357 worth of surgery.

these shootings occurred in the area of greenwood, thomaston and tyler streets.

the attacks are similar to another on greenwood street in which a cat was shot to death in front of its owners several years ago.

do you have any cat shooting stories? do you have any missing cats?

if you have any information, a $100 reward is being offered for tips leading to an arrest. the barnesville police department is investigating.

you would think somebody could hear a rifle being shot in town,or is there that many gunshots that nobody noticed,if they catch the rodent thats doing this they should skin them alive-drop them in a vat of pepper juice-hang them in the sun to dry-then take a horse shoe rasp and knock the scabs off and start all over,ouch did i realy say that? darn spilled my beer again,anybody got any paper towels?hay woman hand me my smokes while ya over there by the frig getting me another cold one

I would think shooting animals with a .22 or more powerful rifle would be extremely dangerous, inside the city limits.

Will parents please stop molesting their kids. Is it not bad enough that you ship them off to government schools, you let your 45 yr old single, unemployed brother-in-law take care of the after school program? A molested child with a .22 is, as we have seen, bad-news-bears for the neighborhood cats. I don't like the furry little sh*ts just as much as the other guy. Give me a dog...a friend til the end. But, since I wasn't molested as a child, I choose to take out my societal shortcomings on less domesticated animals. Ya know, your birds, deer, rabbits, etc. Let's be honest, somewhere along the line, something is going to screw these kids up royally. However, without a Pedder-ass uncle in the picture, they are completely debunked of all of society's accepted excuses for their behavior. So this goes out to you Uncle Ned. Little Jimmy's jimmy is not something to hold you over until the Miss Pre-Teen USA swimsuit competition. Regardless of how much you envy John Mark Karr, the cats of Barnesville would appreciate it if you would stick to the internet for all your pedephilic desires.

Maybe the ones that are never found turn up as mystery meat in Chinese resturants.

I am shocked that some people think that the shooting of cats offers a chance to display their bad sense of humor and lack of compassion. When is it funny to suggest ways to cook cats? What kind of example are you setting for others when you treat the killing of one of God's creatures as a joke. Think about how the owners must feel about the loss of their pet. This callous act could have broken the heart of a child. Can't you put yourself in the the owners place? That is called empathy which some of you seem to lack. If you have problems with stray animals, call Animal Control. Think about this - no animal chooses to be a stray. Strays result from irresponsible owners!!! Before you attack my lack of a sense of humor, think about the fact that each of us is responsible for our words and actions. The ability to post something on a blog doesn't mean that you aren't responsible for the impact those words have on the readers. The death of any creature should not be a laughing matter. Remember that most serial killers began their reigns of terror by killing helpless animals.

That was well put Concerned Citizen and I agree with you. One thing that you must consider though is the mental ability and education of a lot of the people making post on this blog. Often it is less than the cats that they are speaking about. Much less!!

If you treasure your pets as much as you claim to, keep them in the house with their own food and litter boxes instead of letting them run around Barnesville using your neighbors flower beds for a litter box. I'm not saying it is ok for what has happened to these poor animals but maybe if they were being taken care of to start with none of this would have happened.

I think cause one of them was molested or something

There are really some idiots on this. Take care of your dad gum cats and keep them out of my trash can. You let them run around, breed and then dont take care of their little kittens. God created animals however the stupid people that own them, and dont take care of them, must of evolved from what gets flushed down the toilet. Freakin Idots. I bet the same ones lecturing about that scum Rudy Vaughn are the same ones that are huggy with the wild cats.

I've never had cat stew, but my cat teriyaki is delicious!

1/2 cup soy sauce
juice of one orange
juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup beer
1 T. sesame oil
1 t. red chili flakes
4 garlic cloves, halved
1-inch piece of fresh ginger - smashed and cut into small pieces
1 fresh cat

Prepare the sauce by combining all ingredients except the cat in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a slow boil and cook, stirring, until thickened. About 20 minutes. Set aside

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut cat into 1 inch slices, season with salt and pepper. Place pork in a single layer on a sheet pan. Line your sheet pan with an Exopat mat and you'll save yourself a lot of clean-up later. Bake cat for 8 minutes.

Strain sauce into a bowl. Using tongs, dip each piece of cat into the sauce and put back onto baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake for another 8 minutes.

Serve with sticky rice!
