Buffalo police rescued a cat from a Cheektowaga man who apparently was planning to make a meal out of his pet because he thought it was ill-tempered, authorities said Monday.
When Ferry-Fillmore District officers pulled over a car driven by Gary L. Korkuc on Sunday night during a traffic stop, they said they heard a cat crying from inside the trunk and investigated.
What they found has left animal lovers at the SPCA Serving Erie County in shock.
The cat, according to police, was in a cage “marinating” in a mixture of crushed red peppers, chili pepper, salt and oil.

Silly man.
You’re supposed to dress the animal out before marinating.
Dang it! You beat me to it..
This sounds like mental illness to me. I hope they check this guy out very carefully.
Red peppers and Chili for a cat? That’s sick, everyone knows you use mint and a bit of thyme for feline.
Wow - right here in Buffalo, NY!
I didn’t think anyone here knew anything about fine cuisine
Also, the cat must have been doing its business in the marinade as well. Not very well thought out on the part of the chef.
“Silly man.
You’re supposed to dress the animal out before marinating.”
Nah, he was going for Kobe cat.
Colonel, USAFR
That’s what I was thinking too.
“He claims he did not want the cat because it was ‘possessive, greedy and wasteful.’ That the cat got pregnant after ‘spaying,’ even though it was a neutered male. “
I like mine with a nice raspberry/chipotle glaze. But that’s just me.
I think that they need to start checking if any other animals, or heaven forbid, any children near this nut have disappeared.
That's a pretty good definition of felinity in general.
I’m kind of curious how he got the cat into the marinade.
I’d think an attempt to do so would be an excellent way to lose a lot of skin.
Just another variation on Buffalo Wings.
Since the cat was in a cage it probably had little choice as to where it was sitting.
I prefer mine with rice, vegetables, and soy sauce.
Thank you. It disgusts me almost as much as reading about this lunatic to read the lame jokes that people seem to need to post about animals in distress.
you don’t have to be a cat lover to be shocked and horrified by this story. And everyone should realize that many serial killers begin their sick endeavors by torurting and killing animals.
Wanton cruelty to any living creature is an affront to our Creator.
I don’t understand the juvenile jokes either when this man appears to have lost reality somewhere and seems to be a danger to the helpless. I guess some “freepers” think juvenile humor is worthy of adult conversation and have missed the obvious mental health issues.
You don’t understand, sir. These people genuinely think they’s funny and witty.
they’s = they’re
Are you the FR psychologist? I think this guy will get the help he needs now. The story is just odd is all.
they’s = they’re
Gary L. Korkuc doesn’t sound like a chinese name.
Nope. I think the possible mental health issues are fairly obvious. So now you need to write a letter to the editor there asking why this guy wasn't sent for an evaluation.
Gotta laugh at this stuff because most of the day is taken up with BS that raises the blood pressure. The cat is safe so what's the big deal?
Now pass the catsup, please.
Yes. They do. And it isn't. The first thing that I thought was whether anyone that knew him had missing animals or children.

You are so right, he was crazy to think he could marinate a cat with chili peppers, Everyone knows you stew cat in chili peppers.
I am a Freeper because I value common sense. This guy thinks his neutered male cat got pregnant and that suggests to you the best ingredients for cooking?
Sorry. I don’t find humor in mental illness.
Have a nice day.
It's a very odd story. Believe it or not, a guy marinading a live animal while driving down the road has some potential for humor, whether you like cats or not.
And AirForceMom, if you dress an animal before you marinade it, wont' that get the clothes all gross?
Sounds like this fellow might be a closet sociopath. If so, there’s no cure for him but to lock him up forever. Otherwise, he might be marinating little children in his trunk next time.
I have actually eaten cat, it is better with chili peppers.
The owner of this cat should be neutered so he can’t reproduce ever and create an insane offspring. What a disgusting story.
“most of the day is taken up with BS that raises the blood pressure”
I agree. That’s one of the reasons I avoid most “news programs” on TV! (even FOX)
I’m not much of a chef, but even I know that marinating a live cat is wrong. Should I feel guilty for joking about it? Maybe, but I don’t. (and I won’t be scolding others for doing it)
Have a nice day.
Sorry. I don’t find humor in mental illness.
How long have you felt this way?
“You’re doing it wrong.”
I don’t wish any suffering on a cat ... but its a cat. Not a baby — a cat. “Shocked and horrified” is pretty well reserved for the suffering of human beings, not a cat.
I eat meat (though certainly not cat meat). We marinaded pork chops last night. I’m having salmon tonight, and a porterhouse tomorrow. Burgers on Thursday. Buffalo Wings on Friday. Sub sandwiches for lunch everyday (ham, turkey, bacon, cheese). These animals (cows, fish, chicken, turkey, pigs) were and are no less valuable in God’s eyes than that cat ... and I’ve eaten over a half-dozen of them inside of 5-days.
I hope the individual gets help for whatever condition he’s inflicted with ... and I hope this cat was his only victim.
It never ceases to amaze me how outraged people get over the suffering of animals ... and how immune they can be to the suffering of human beings. Michael Vick (a certifiable jackass) got more attention for dog-fighting than Ray Carouth did for murdering his girlfriend, or than any NFL player has ever gotten for aiding in the abortion of his child.
Its a cat. The cat survived. There are bigger problems to be shocked and horrified about. Lighten up.
SnakeDoc
I can be as sarcastic as the next person, and the cat indeed is okay. As you said, very odd story.
It was the underlying feeling that this creep didn’t just wake up today and flip. I’d bet he has done this before.
Now that's funny. Here I thought you were pissed off because the cat almost became a furburger but you're really torqued because the guy is off his rocker and nobody is taking him seriously.
LOL!
Yes.
Well said! The things that people choose to be offended about just amaze me.
doesn’t get any better than fried bologna!
I agree so very much..I’m disgusted at the “jokes” concerning animal cruelty that seem to abound here on Free Republic..a bunch of dog lover/cat haters for the most part, but many seem to just have a thing for animal cruelty in general.
Make a funny post about such cruelty applied to dogs next..and then for your encore do one on cruelty to children..cruelty to animals is practised as a prelude to child molesting..and you have such a wonderful sense of humor.
There are certain threads that our somewhat hyper-serious freepers should not read, to wit:
1) schoolteachers having sex with underage students
2) anything having to do with cats (appears conservatives favor dogs nearly 5-1 over cats)
3) public breastfeeding
The comments are all very predictable, according to script, and completely irreverent. I don’t much care for the guilty/not guilty threads, but the other 2 are great sport.
I tend to think that being able to pull something humorous out of these types of things is a good sign of appropriate mental health. We cannot be serious as a heart attack all the time, it just isn’t healthy.
I would wager that most commenting on these threads are loving pet owners just having an inappropriate chuckle.
You know, DJ, I have a seriously bipolar mom, who I and my sister have had to involuntarily commit 4 times over the last dozen years. She is 77 years old.
Frankly, I've earned the right to try to find humor wherever I can. It's either that, or I might try to find a bed for myself in the same institution she's visited a few times against her will.
I understand that not all appreciate it, and I know I thank you for your checking in on this, but to think you have the monopoly on what is and is not appropriate is flawed thinking.
