What kind of horrible person would beat a bunch of cats to death with a shovel? That’s just cruel and a horrible waste of food. It’s much more humane to take them to a nearby body of water and put them in a tied bag with a brick. That’s what they used to call “animal control” in the old days.

Here are the hardcore details from this story about a pair of Independence, MO cat killers that are sure to incur the wrath of feline lovers everywhere:

Two Odessa men, living in an Independence mobile home park, face a total of 13 animal cruelty charges. Jeffrey Hoeppner, 29, and Brian Kleoppel, 31, are accused of beating five cats to death with a shovel.

Independence Animal Control Manager Amy Wells says when her officer arrived at the trailer, he found five cats dead in a trash can and a bloody shovel in the trailer. Wells calls this one of the most extreme cruelty cases she has seen in her eight years with Animal Control.

This story reminds me of another animal cruelty incident that involved the video taped torture of a poor dog named Scruffy. Strange, there was more unanimous rage regarding that video tape than there was about footage of Rodney King getting his ass kicked. Anyway, sadly there is no video of this tragedy. Otherwise, I’d make a fortune selling it as a snuff film treat for dogs.
