Ludwigslust, Germany -

A man who whipped his fiancee with a cat faces prosecution under Germany's strict animal-rights laws, police said Monday.

In a drunken rage, the 43-year-old picked up the pet cat and repeatedly beat his fiancee with the feline until the animal was a bloody pulp.

It was unclear whether the 49-year-old woman would file charges of assault. She sustained cuts and bruises.

The cat did not survive and the man now faces prosecution under stiff animal-rights laws.

A year ago, Germany amended its constitution to protect the rights of all animals. Persons who unlawfully harm or kill animals are liable to steep fines and jail terms.

So, I guess the Germans are more concerned over the cat than the woman?
How he killed the cat was undoubtedly cruel, but it seems the German authorities are more worried about it than the fiancee!

PS... Yes, this is the *actual* headline!

and wouldn't PETA also take the same stance as the Germans??

"Just damn" ping.

[Constitution Day]

I'm positive they would.

He should have used a skillet to beat his fiancee instead of the cat. Then, everything would be OK.

Meow!

besides, a skillet is much easier to control and doesn't flail around and squeal as you swing it.

Animals have rights under the German constitution, do they get to vote too?

Alright you Monty Python computer nerds...send in those clips of cats being whipped against walls and such.

The cat was the nearest weapon of ah-purr-tuna-ty!

Not an assault skillet! The kickback on those things can be brutal and can really affect your aim.

I don't know about PETA, but you can count me as a supporter of laws forbidding cruelty to animals. ;-)

Never set a foot wrong until he had some beer, and that was it, lost it. I predict that there will be no marriage, if the victim has any brains.
