BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Police say a traffic stop led to animal cruelty charges after they found a live cat "marinating" in oil and peppers in the trunk of a car.
Buffalo police say officers heard the cat meowing when they stopped 51-year-old Gary Korkuc of Cheektowaga to ticket him for running a stop sign Sunday night.
They say they checked the trunk and found 4-year-old Navarro in a cage, his fur covered with oil, crushed red peppers and chili peppers.
Police say Korkuc told them he did it because Navarro was ill-tempered. Korkuc was charged with cruelty and released; his phone number isn't listed.
Police say he told them he was going to cook Navarro. But they say Korkuc also complained that the neutered male cat got pregnant after he was spayed.
Animal advocates have cleaned Navarro and put him up for adoption.

One of my cats is also one that was rescued by our Humane Society due to abuse and neglect. We have had quite the journey with her...when we first got her she was so afraid of people, the poor little thing would shake with fear if you even tried to pet her. She is good with us now, but still hides if strangers come around. Some people don't like animals and I can accept that...but why they would choose to harm them is so beyond me...I believe these are the same people that hurt children, or the elderly and infirm...something is seriously wrong with them.
Yes I would agree. Its really too unpleasant to give the article a title that would imply its amusing though. When I was a kid my family had a pet cat that had been rescued from a place where it was being kept and being treated in an abusive manner and the cat acted in a way as if whatever had been done had traumatized her for life. I am glad that the authorities are dealing with this appropriately. This should never happen to begin with.
I feel ill just reading this. What is wrong with people.....
