    • 19-year-old kid arrested for killing 19 cats in Miami. [link]

    (CNN) -- A teenager is being held on 19 counts of animal cruelty linked to a month-long killing spree of pet cats in the Miami area, police said.

    Tyler Hayes Weinman, 18, also is charged with 19 counts of improper disposal of dead animals and four counts of burglary, police said.

    Weinman lives in Cutler Bay and has lived with his parents in Palmetto Bay, the two towns where police said 19 cats were mutilated and killed.

    Pet owners and police began discovering disfigured cats May 13. One pet owner, Donna Gleason, said her family cat, Tommy, was "partially skinned" and left dead in her yard.

    Police said 34 cats have been found dead in the towns, but only 19 mutilated cats could be linked to a serial killer. Police confirmed that some of the cats were killed by dogs, said Maj. Julie Miller of Cutler Bay police.

    Weinman, who works odd jobs but spends most of his time at home and unemployed, had been a person of interest for several weeks, Miller said. He was arrested Saturday.

    The police are looking into whether any people Weinman associates with might have been accomplices in the killings. Weinman's sealed juvenile record includes two prior offenses, Miller said.

    He could face a maximum of 158 years in state prison if convicted on all counts, said Terry Shavez, spokeswoman for the state attorney's office.

    The mayor of Cutler Bay referred to the string of feline attacks as a "plague in South Miami-Dade."

    "The cruelty of these crimes were horrific for the animal victims, but there were many human victims as well," Mayor Paul Vrooman said.

    "Let's not forget the children and the families who found their pets mutilated. These awful scenes inflicted a human toll."

    158 YEARS? For killing cats? Not that I condone killing cats but it's not like he was chopping up babies. As far I knew, animal cruelty was a misdemeanor at best. Granted, this is a pretty extreme case but DAMN.

    I've been following this thing on the Miami Herald website. That kid needs to be locked up and monitored for life, because you know he has serial killer written all over him... just like the Boston Strangler. Have fun getting ass fucked and bitch slapped in Miami Dade County Jail.

    This has been a top story over the past month down here. Every morning I heard about another couple of fluffies being offed as the headline in the morning newscast.

    Forget about the hit and runs/shootings where children are hurt or killed, or even the murder of security guards for no apparent reason, those are secondary stories. We needed to catch the cat killer!!!! (can't find the sarcasm font, but you get what I am saying)

    Sorry, but to me this was not headline news, but a closing story or something else later in a newscast. I feel that humans getting shot, maimed, killed is a bigger story than Ms. Smith's 20 year old cat getting offed by a teenager.

    Does the guy (if it really was him, as I have heard no real evidence why he was arrested, other than he had joined a Facebook page about the cat killings and he was a "person of interest") deserve punishment? Absolutely. (Especially when it could lead to other violent behavior, as noted by many psychologists when studying violent criminals'/serial killers pasts).

    Does it deserve to be a headline story every day for the last month? Absolutely not, IMO.

    Nineteen cats? Nothing but a good start. :tic:

    Seriously, it's pretty well documented that animal cruelty of this sort is typical of sociopathic or psychopathic behavior; starBUCKS is right on target in saying he's likely a serial killer waiting to happen. It would be good if this guy never again lives among us on the outside.
