  1. So….he was released back into society after molesting cats and killing several others and documenting this abhorrent behavior? You do know that this is how a lot of serial killers behave before starting to murder people. I just hope there is 24hr surveillance on him!

  2. I think they should do him just like he did the cats that he killed. I am very much a very big animal lover.

  3. What a sick individual he is. Pure evil. I hope he will be punished to the full extent of the law. Killing cats and recording it…..I know your family must be so proud of you. You are just evil scumb bag.
