Accused Cat Slasher Faces Jail Time!

Abused Cat

Busted!  ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents have arrested Brooklyn resident Daniel Lawson for allegedly slicing the leg of his two-year-old male cat, Velet.

On Saturday, March 17, Agents responded to a complaint that a cat was brought into Animal Care & Control’s Brooklyn facility with a severe, six-inch cut to his right hind leg. Agents quickly brought Velet to ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital. An ASPCA investigation determined that Lawson inflicted Velet’s wound with a metal bar.

Lawson, 24, was arrested by ASPCA Special Agent John Akdikmen and charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Lawson is due in Kings County Criminal Court on April 25.

ASPCA veterinarians expect Velet to make a full recovery. He’ll then become available for adoption!

Absolutely face jail.. A defenseless, helpless animal.. It has long been acknowledged that fundamentally, animal abusers have proclivity to become violent to people as well.. Make an example out the heartless pig..

Should do the same thing to him what he did to the cat. I love cats and I have one at home.

Anyone who uses violence to an animal is emotionally deranged at the least; Daniel Lawson is mentally ill and as such, should be treated as well as punished severely.

We all know cats can be annoying (just like women) but they (cats and women) don't deserve physical violence. Police should check if this was a once off.If not jail should be an option. Dublin, Eire

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
