Harsher sentence for cat abuser/killer
-
To: Singaporeans
On 24 Aug, Wong Geng Thong, an air con technician was sentenced to serve 8 weeks in jail for torturing and killing a cat. This may not have been his first offense of this nature.
What he did:
1. Befriended a cat by feeding it then took it in his van to Blk 93A Jalan Dua off Old Airport Rd.
2. Tied a noose around the cat�s neck and lifted the wire to hang the cat by the neck
3. Everytime the cat lost consciousness, Wong revived it by massaging its chest. He repeated this cruel act till the cat could not be revived anymore.
4. He then removed the wire noose, grabbed the cat by the neck and bashed it�s body against the wall several times
5. Then he threw the cat�s body on the floor and kept kicking it
All that he did in the car park was captured by a spy camera.
Cleaners in the area have found the grisly remains of 10 cats in the neighbourhood over the past 5 months which is what triggered a group of volunteers to put up the spy cameras. These volunteers, along with the help of animal welfare organizations, have taken the time, money and effort to find the perpetrator of these senseless and cruel acts.
Yet when Wong Geng Thong was caught, he was sentenced to only 2 months in jail for what he did despite the fact that the psychiatrist who examined Wong was concerned he might abuse people too.
Most serial killers and murderers start their macabre �career� by torturing and killing animals. If unchecked, the likelihood of them progressing to hurt and kill people is very high. (Please read article written by Lynn Lam, Today Online http://www.todayonline.com/articles/127238.asp).
Under the Animals & Birds Act, the maximum penalty for abusing an animal is a fine of $10,000 or a maximum jail term of 12 months, or both. Question is, what does it take to incur the maximum penalty? Doesn�t such a calculated and cruel act as seen in the case of Wong Geng Thong deserve the maximum penalty?
If you feel that Wong Geng Thong deserves a harsher or the maximum penalty for what he did, please do the following:

People like these shouldn't be allowed to exist!!! -
i don't agree, they need psychiatric help, not spanking.
-
What about the victim? It's dead already!
If the victim is a human being, maybe he had it coming to him. I am not angry at Wong.
An animal is less intelligent and deserve help from humans, not abuse.
No amount of psychiatric help is going to benefit him. -
killing animals should have the same punishment as killing humans.

I'll support this if it comes with parallel harsher penalties for feeding stray cats ..... -

Tie his dick and hang it to the ceiling, release then hang again, until it finally get detached!

He needs preventive detention in a psychiatric ward. Perhaps some treatment for his chemcial imbalances.

Psychopathic personality disorder cannot be treated, which was why the psychiatrist reported that he was likely to re-offend. But the law does not allow for detention indefinitely unless he killed someone.Originally posted by LazerLordz:He needs preventive detention in a psychiatric ward.

Perhaps train him to kill some other animals instead....rat catcher with Min of Environment maybe? Or perhaps he can be the official executioner at Changi Prison

Haha that's a good suggestion.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Psychopathic personality disorder cannot be treated, which was why the psychiatrist reported that he was likely to re-offend. But the law does not allow for detention indefinitely unless he killed someone.

I thought someone was given the maximum penalty of 12 months, minus the caning, as reported in the papers recently?
And I think they should make the offender perform like one million hours of community service... like at the SPCA or something. MONITORED, of course, lest he abuse the animals there as well.

I am interested to help animals. What does the society do?Originally posted by browniebaobao:i wana be a volunteer at Cats Welfare Society.

why these people torture kittens/cats/animals???????? EVIL

for cases like him, psychaitric help is lenghty and may not be successful. He will still go and brutally kill animals. Besides, there is no guarentee that he'll not do the same to peple.Originally posted by Ito_^:i don't agree, they need psychiatric help, not spanking.
A combination of a jail term, caning and psychiatric councilling will be more effective. Don't underestimate the painful reminders of caning.
Councilling alone may not help so perhaps, the recall of pain will stop him if he wants to kill animals again. -
Do you mean to say may all vegetarians go to heaven ?? Or May all animal eating humans be caned ?Originally posted by googoomuck:What about the victim? It's dead already!

because another human told you so eh...
humans are the only species who will kill and destroy anything and even their own kind NOT just for survival.
how stupid is that? -
what about spiders and cockroaches?
I don't see anyone fighting for their rights -

I'm not sure whether caning would actually help. If killing cats is some form of compulsion for him, it's going to take more than just caning to prevent him from doing it again.Given that he has a difficult psychological disorder, it would be best to put him in an asylum.Originally posted by MingFreeman:for cases like him, psychaitric help is lenghty and may not be successful.

Hence I disagree with the campaign for a harsher sentence in this case, as the offender is mentally disturbed. I would support harsher sentences though for sane offenders who torture or kill cats for fun. -
Of course animals are less intelligent than Humans. They can't defend themselves against us.Originally posted by udontknowme:what makes you think an animal is less intelligent

Some may say we humans are stupid because we are the only who will kill each other not just for survival but for other selfish reasons.
In every war, they kill other people in a new way. I would call this advancement. -
