Exarch Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 My eleven year old cat, who has never been away from the house for more than a few hours, has been missing from South Langley since Wednesday night (over two days). I'm 99.9% sure he's dead, but can't find any trace of him in the neighbourhood. I assume some vehicle hit him in the night and the driver or a municipal vehicle disposed of him. I haven't read anything about this cat mutilator showing up in Langley, and there's no carcass to be found, so I hope it was just a quick death by vehicle. It really sucks not knowing what happened, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggernut Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Serial killers were animal abusers first By Kate Bird and Celeste Moure, Vancouver Sun June 1, 2012 CLICK FOR MORE PHOTOS OF SERIAL KILLERS Acts of violence towards animals are often recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that does not confine itself to animals, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). “Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives,” wrote humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer. In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has found that computer records of serial rapists and murderers often exhibit a history of cruelty to animals. “Murderers … very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids,” according to Robert K. Ressler, who developed profiles of serial killers for the FBI. Before proving they had a violent pathology to humans, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam and the Columbine High School murderers were just some of the psychopaths who showed signs of cruelty toward animals. Reportedly, Luka Rocco Magnotta also killed animals. © Copyright © The Vancouver Sun http://www.vancouver...5931/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yup the Macdonald triad of serial killers states that there are 3 childhood behaviours that are predictors of someone who will turn into a serial killer in later life. Animal torture is one of them. Bed wetting and fire starting are the others. It'd be pretty freaky to have young kids in the area though. Especially with the warmer weather outside can you imagine sending your kids outside to play and having them find a mutilated cat in the yard!? That'd mess them up pretty bad. Hope whoever is behind it is caught and punished...severely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lx Birdie xl Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That article mentions the most recent incident being May 29th in South Langley (another paper's article specifies Brookswood) As I posted above, my cat has been missing since May 29th, and I live in the heart of Brookswood. So much for assuming it was just hit by a vehicle. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey!? Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Metro Vancouver cat mutilations work of an animal: BC SPCA VANCOUVER — The culprit responsible for a spate of mutilated cats in suburban Vancouver is more natural than evil, says an internationally-known forensic veterinarian who has looked into the case. After months of speculation, the B.C. Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced Friday they believe the killer of the cats is another animal, likely coyotes. It was feared the grisly remains were the work of a disturbed human. Melinda Merck, who has worked on a similar case of cat mutilations in Florida and also helped out in the investigation of the massacre of sled dogs in Whistler, conducted necropsies on 40 animals — 20 cats, eight birds, one rabbit and a dog leg. "A lot of the findings that we see with predation are different than what we might see with human involvement as far as mutilation," said Merck. "The findings depend on the type of predator, it can be a domestic dog or it can be a more of a wildlife predator." In Maple Ridge, nine mutilated cats were discovered in the last month, making 24 over the past year. Mutilated cats have also recently been found in Langley and Port Moody. Some of the cats were found in two pieces, as if sawed in half, but Merck said it would not be difficult for a coyote to perform the damage. The SPCA has closed the book on the case, but the RCMP still thinks human involvement may explain why some of the cats ended up in strange places, such as under a missing cat poster. "From a policing perspective our files aren't closed at this point," said RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen. "There's a few outstanding incidents where there could quite possibly could have been and quite likely was some post death-human involvement in regards to how and where the remains were found." Thiessen said the individual that may be responsible for such and incident would "clearly have some personal issues." Despite finding no evidence of human involvement in the killing of the cats, the SPCA said it does not regret telling the public a person could be responsible. Marcie Moriarty, general manager of cruelty investigations, said the society took a cautious approach in case the perpetrator was someone who planned on eventually killing humans. She said initial pathology reports on the dead cats found the wounds were consistent with machete or a hatchet, leading the SPCA to announce the possibility of human involvement. © Copyright © The Vancouver Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Broke The Cup Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I've come across cat remains most likely killed by a coyote and it does not resemble a job done by a machete. Unless their meal is interrupted, coyotes don't tend to leave much behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
