HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- A Maryland man has been sentenced to nearly a year in prison for killing four of his girlfriend's kittens by throwing them into a fire.

Robert Tomlin has been ordered to spend 341 days in prison for violating his probation by moving back in with Kelli Green and her five remaining cats after he pleaded guilty in November to aggravated animal cruelty.

Under a plea bargain, Tomlin was supposed to have avoided contact with Green and her animals.


Green said they both were drunk the night the cats died and she barely remembers what happened.

poor kittens

discusting.

The lack of a highly developed brain in comparison to us does not make this any less of a murder.

We need to ear candle his ass!

CarrieMpls said:

Agreed! Someone should throw him into a fire, so he knows what it feels like. I have no sympathy whatsoever for people who kill/harm/abuse poor, defenseless animals. They deserve the hardest punishment available, and more!

well he got punished.

good.

He needs to be thrown into a fire!

serious.


We're human beings becuase of the co-dependent conditions that arise to make us this way. The only difference between us and any other animal is the co-arising conditions arising to make them who they are---take those conditions away and we're no different. There is no "devine" division between man and beast.

A crime against any other man, should be the same with a crime against another animal. We hold no dominion over anything but our own abiltiy to do good or evil. That man is evil.

I agree with you...completely.

I think it's funny that most humans think that the ability to talk, reason, or build things makes us superior or somehow inherent of respect. It's just noise and busy work that doesn't make any meaningful impression to the universe.

I think they have 2 kill him poor kities

The thing too is that animals DO "talk"/communicate, reason and build things...use tools...it's just that we don't see these things as being important or valid because they don't apply to our species.

I said that same thing.

What a creep,I'm glad he's going to prison! The girlfriend sounds like a real class act,getting back together with a man that was supposed to stay away from her to begin with,on probation and they both were drunk! Super!

ufoclub said:

You are sooooo of flirting with me!

kind of a "cat tastrophe" ok i know bad joke.... but yeah its fuckin' cruel as all hell he should be beaten with a red hot poker.

He's flirting with me!

applekisses said:

You obviously want me badly!

Imago said:

Only a year? Dudes who kill/torture animals eventually move up to humans. I say keep his ass in jail. He sounds pretty useless to me.

i am glad he is doing prison time for it.

I'm sure the kittens are in a better place, probably next to Anna.

yeah is brain is underdeveloped.

My log sometimes burns for a little pussy,
but I usually just let the fire burn down.
