Joseph Petcka is a pathetic HUMAN. I have NEVER seen a cat draw blood unless being teased or defending them selves.

Joseph Petcka needs to get the MAXIUM Punishment by law for this crime. He needs to do 500 hours of service in an animal shelter scooping poop and taking care of the animals & the 500 hours needs to be consectutive. If Joseph Petcka did this to my cat I would kick the krap out of Joseph Petcka in a big way !

Joseph Petcka your a big chunk of $H!T for hurting this cat and you need some serious HELP.

Boy the idiots are out here today. the guy killed a animal. The cat was also de-clawed. so how scared could he be. he should have just left instead of killing the cat. he hurt this animal very badly before putting it out of its misery. I am not cat fan by any means but this idiot deserves to do jail time.

What a load of poop. First off why doesn''t CBS publish a photo of this jerk with this story? And jerk doesn''t describe what I would really call his guy. Second I have cats, never in their lives have they attacked anyone. So hey macho man, how do you defend yourself against a 8 pound no claws cat when your plastered? Do you really think we are stupid? I say put him in with Micheal Vic and be done with it.

How on earth does a grown man claim self-defense against an 8 lb. cat? Thats ludicrous --------------------------------- Posted by greeneyes222


It is only a very pathetic, and bigoted human who assumes that one can only perceive a threat from something if it is bigger than them.
Very small people feel this way a lot, however.

I TOLD YOU GUYS HE WAS INNOCENT!!!

- he was defending himself from an angry cat that had drawn his blood -

That killer puddy tat got exactly what was coming to him!!!

Remember...the only GOOD CAT, is one thats well-seasoned and grilled to perfection.

What a A-#1-Jerk!

I agree that jail is probably the wrong thing, even though the concept of his rotting in jail for a couple of years is very appealing. Since he seems to have a job, how about a huge fine, with his wages attached for collection, so he thinks about this horror every week? And, the $$ could go to an animal chairty of some kind.

As for the perennial "spending the taxpayer dollar" argument, that''s not a get-out-of-jail-free card and it''s way over-used. It sounds like it would be more expensive to put this guy back on the streets.

"but killing a cat does not equate to murder."

Why does some lame brain always have to say that when an animal is brutalized?

Are you so out of touch that you do not understand that someone who would do this to an animal is likely to do the same to a person?

He should get what Mike Vick got.

We live in a dangerous and sick world. There are two sides. One allows it to continue and the other wants it to end. Which side are you on when you make a statement like that?

Are you idiots kidding.If he did kill this cat for any other reason than self defense then he is cruel and uncaring. But 2 years in prison? Spending the tax payers money with a jury trial over a friggen cat!If convicted and sent to the big house with all the killers, child molesters, perverts, etc.and when asked hey pal, what are you up for? I killed a cat! Whoa, lets keep this guy away from general population.

It''s been shown in study after study that people who enjoy torturing animals are highly likely to do the same to little children. So, even if you''re a heart-less SOB like you, you should still want to take this scum off the streets. If only to protect darling little johnny and mary.

Let''s throw a lion in a cage with this guy and THEN let him claim self-defense. If he survives, he''s free.

WOW! Great BIG ballplayer DEFEATS tiny little 8-pound cat--declawed, at that! You must be SO PROUD!!

Who hasn''t been bitten and/or scratched while being around a cat any length of time? I have five and have had it from all of them!

BTW, I would NEVER have any cat declawed. It''s inhumane and leaves them totally defenseless.

I hope this woman has totally KICKED this idiot to the CURB!!

Put him in prison. This says a lot about his cowardly murdering charactor. This is murder to an animal. Most serial killers killed animals first.

Self defense my butt! The simple fact is that the idiot was drunk and looking for a fight. So what does he do...take it out on a poor 8lb cat the has no claws. What a man, not! I hope he does go to jail because he would deserve it.
