Cats are for petting, not for plating.

Cats are fine pets. But a fine meal? No, sir. No.

The alleged eating practices of a Bakersfield man has run him afoul of the law, after he was found with the headless carcass of a feline friend in his kitchen sink, according to reports.

Jason Wilmert, 35, lives in the Bakersfield suburb of Oildale, where neighbors told police of hearing the sound of screaming cats coming from Wilmert's backyard. One neighbor reported seeing Wilmert decapitate a cat in his yard, police said.

Yikes.

Deputies arrived on-scene and saw a cat's head in Wilmet's backyard. Once they went inside, they found a carcass prepared "as if for cooking," according to reports.

Possessing a pet for food is illegal in California, as well as plain twisted. Wilmert was arrested on misdemeanor animal cruelty charges and possession of a pet for food.

Must give equal time in honor of DemonRATs:

Rat (sung to Michael Jackson’s “I’m Bad”):

My body is tiny, and very small
You’ll see me living in your wall
I’m so little people don’t treat me right
That’s why I only come out at night
Come on, come on, come on save me a bite

I’m so small, don’t step on me
And I always have to run and flee
Life is tough for rats
I always get chased by cats

My dinner is crumbs
I got to complain
If I don’t eat more
I think I’ll go insane

Because I’m a rat a rat come on
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
You know I’m a rat a rat throw me a bone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Why don’t you just leave me alone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Don’t you call me creepy, or crawly
Because you know I’m only a rat

Well you know I’m worse then a mouse
And I’m living inside you’re house
Living is worse than a man
I have to sleep in a sardine can
Finding food until the day is done
That is the life for all vermin

To all the women
I give quit a scare
Then they scream
And pull out there hair

Because I’m a rat a rat come on
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
You know I’m a rat a rat throw me a bone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Why don’t you just leave me alone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Don’t you call me creepy, or crawly
Because you know I’m only a rat

The life of a rat
Is a load of crap
To get some food
I gotta get caught in a trap

Because I’m a rat a rat come on
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
You know I’m a rat a rat throw me a bone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Why don’t you just leave me alone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Don’t you call me creepy, or crawly
Because you know I’m only a rat

Because I’m a rat a rat come on
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
You know I’m a rat a rat throw me a bone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Why don’t you just leave me alone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Don’t you call me creepy, or crawly
Because you know I’m only a rat

Because I’m a rat a rat come on
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
You know I’m a rat a rat throw me a bone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Why don’t you just leave me alone
(Rat rat hairy scary rat)
Don’t you call me creepy, or crawly
Because you know I’m only a rat

just because I consider an animal a pet, does that mean that all domesticated animals are pets and cannot be eaten? If so, why?

My opinion? Its your cat = its your business.

In some countries they raise guinea pigs commercially for food. Not my cup of tea, but if you wanted to raise them and eat them, what business is it of mine?

Its my opinion that most people would rather mind their neighbor's business than live as free men. Most people will gladly give up their own freedom in return for the right to mind their neighbor's business.

Like Ghandi once said: “For the starving, God comes in the form of food.” Not saying this guy was starving, but when people are, the whole concept of “pets” flys right out the window. An interesting study is when the Nazis tried to starve out the people of Leningrad during WW2. All the animals disappeared including the rats.

LOL! In Oildale? Unless it’s changed a whole bunch since the last time I was there......

[Salamander]

“Mmmmmm... cats!”

You’re revolting!

;D

[ApplegateRanch]

Hey, Alf! Got one for you!

"Chinese Hassenpfeffer"Bait was cabbage leaves to catch a wabbit chewing up the garden. She was VERY miffed at me for getting the camera, instead of immediately releasing her.

Greetings ApplegateRanch:

Milo, our barn kit-teh, regularly delivers pesky wabbit upon the door mat. Minus the head.

Cheers,

Curried kitty.

for those unfamiliar with Bakersfield, dude is surrounded literally by tens of thousands of head of cattle and almost as much horseflesh. And he goes for cats? I’m not sure if cat rustling is a hangable offense or not, but I do know some barn cat mousers worth their weight in gold and it would tend to make their owners powerful angry should those mousers end up as fricassee.

[ApplegateRanch]

Ms Demoness gets a few, when she isn’t too busy catching mice, or trying to sneak into the flocks of wild turkeys by pecking corn thinking she’s fooling them.

First thoughts: Ms Demoness looks like she dined upon pesky wabbit at the livetrap cafe. Check please!
