RIP Norman

The above cat was beat to death in a jealous rage by baseball player turned actor Joseph Petcka. We get the following scoop from our friends at CNN:
Trial has begun for a baseball player-turned-actor accused of brutally killing a cat in a jealous rage after complaining that his ex-girlfriend cared more for the furry feline than she did for him.
Assistant District Attorney Leila Kermani said the cat named Norman died with broken teeth, broken ribs, a broken leg, a torn tongue, massive internal injuries including bruised lungs and a bruised liver and a chest cavity filled with blood.
Hochbaum complained the district attorney’s office never offered his client a plea deal. He said outside court he believes that was because of the publicity the case attracted and the urgings of cat fanciers.
You are god damn right they didn’t offer this scum bag a deal. This cat fancier is quite upset; my blood boils over the death of Norman the glorious. I hope Petka gets sent to jail and has real justice thrust upon him, and by that I mean extended and prolonged gang rape.
I enjoy the company of animals and have no love for those that harm the defenseless so they may feel better about themselves. I hope this douche never works again. The type of person that would do this to “get back” at his girlfriend is a tool of the highest order. I was open mouthed when I read this news today. I hope that word will spread of Normans tragic end and that Joseph Petcka will reap the appropriate ire of the public.
Joseph Petcka – Fuck you. Do the only honorable thing left with your life and kill yourself.










This guy is the ultimate douchebag, beating up on a helpless animal. I can only imagine what that cat’s owner must have gone through, seeing her cat like that. Fry in hell, motherfucker.
who the fuck is joseph petcka………….must be some fucktard i have never heard of today….basketball player..turned actor…..wtf should have known, cause only turdfuckers do that kinda shit.
RIP Norman <3
I have no sympathy for people who hurt defenseless creatures. I hope this asshole pays.
I can’t agree with you more Doug. If someone did that to one of our three cats I would kill them with out any hesitation or remorse. There is a special place in hell for people like that guy.
As if I wasn’t depressed enough today; poor cat.
What a complete piece of shit. I hope he has a rotten life in jail, and sees the same demise – ala Jeffrey Dahmer.
I hope someone beat him to death on his jail!
I’m glad you love kittens so much Doug. It makes me happy.
Like what John said about the person who added 50 Cent to Righteous Kill: “This idiot should be shot and dragged into the streets”!
Burn in Hell, you Michael Vick worshiper!!!
That is messed up. Punch a pillow douche.
this guy & michael vick should be castrated on live tv & then thrown in to some cells with hungry lions & wolves, all after becoming someones bitches in prison.
Fyi, Norman actually died in April of 2007, and Petchka is now going to trial. Still unbelievably cruel.
Poor kitty. People who brutalize animals and child should be sent straight to the depths of hell.
I hope Joseph Petcka gets raped so much, he bleeds to death from the anus.
If he had eaten the cat, would it have been alright?
lame.
Beating anything to death is lame…but a cat? Fuck you sir.
Rest in peace, Norman. If there is justice in the world, Petcka will spend the rest of his days in prison regretting the day he touched a hair on your head.
[Sarcasm]Too bad Lars Von Trier wasn’t around. He could have filmed it for his next animal abuse movie.[/Sarcasm]
I agree – let the punishment fit the crime. The line for beating Petcka to death forms to the right.
Cat Fanciers demand harsh justice.
Fucking A, Doug. My respect meter just went up a couple of notches for ya. I totally agree that this waste-of-life, piece-of-”human” shit should be sent to jail and reap the whirlwind for this crime. Fucking animal abusers should all burn.
I don’t even know what to say. This is such a sad story. I was open mouthed as well as I read this. Almost wanted to stop reading as it was that upsetting. I myself have a cat that I love very much and anyone who does this to an animal should be beat with a stick, tazed, choked and thrown into a lake somewhere.
Forget going through a trial. Put him in a cage with 10 people who love animals and hate those who hurt animals.
And the 10 people get any weapon of their choosing.
RIP Norman. =(
Now I’m going to go hug my kitty.
I’m not a pet person… but that’s one seriously fucked up thing to do to any animal.
@ ButterOnMyPopcorn
Hmm, I think it’d be justifiable if he ate it afterwards. If he were stranded on a desert island or something, that is…
Sucks for the cat, but on the bright side, at least he didn’t take it out on his girlfriend directly.
Here’s to hoping he gets a good lock up.
Im waiting for Peta to line up outside the trial and compare the rage shared by many over this thoughtless act of violence to that of kill floors of KFC and BurgerKing.
Its just a matter of time. Those douches like to tie any tragedy into their own personal flagpole.
@ ButterOnMyPopcorn
who cares what happened to the cat afterwards, the point is he tortured the cat to death.
Someone like that will be judged in the afterlife. If you believe in Karma, he will be reborn as a donkey or something and abused to death. It is how Karma works.
Oh yea, he is a douchebag as everyone says
What a LOSER!
What a Fucking Loser!!!!
“Tall Tree, Short Rope!”
As a animal lover I am fucking appalled at this, what kind of goddamned moron would beat a helpless cat to death for any reason.
Jesus this asshole deserves a fucking gang rape from every cat enthusiast he’s doing time with
NO! my cat mrs geaorgia looks just like that!!
WTF!?!!!!
i love you norman!!
fuck! im a huge cat lover and this just fucked up my day….
ive never heard of this fucker….does anyone here know what movie/sport team he was on??
He did some episodes of Sex And The City.
No idea on the sport team
i know….
i wikied him.
he was in the minors..nothing big.
i fucking hope he dies. this just seriously fucked my day up…
The week started out bad with the news of Richard Wright’s (Pink Floyd Keyboardist/writer/vocals) passing. A horrible bit of news and here’s hoping the scumbag gets whats coming to him. Sickening….
If someone killed a cat 50 years ago, no one would give a shit. Today you’re better off torching a bus full of kids, people will show more sympathy. Not saying I agree with the guy I’m just saying.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! BURN THE FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!
:( This is terrible! :( Damn that asshole! :(
This reminds me of news from Australia I saw a couple of days ago; some assholes punched a kangaroo that already was in bad shape! :( Damn those abusers to hell!!
Rest in peace, Norman. I’m so sorry!
Doug I completely agree with you. It takes a real coward to kill animals.
As an animal lover and cat fancier I’m disgusted. This man should be sent to the bush where he has to fend for his life against a hungry mountain lion.
t i think putting him in jail is too easy…
why not just sentence him to 5 years community service cleaning up cat and dog poo from the streets… or better yet, send him to road kill cleanup duty… yeah… that would be sweet justice
what an asshole i just hug my cats
omg! and the chick liked norman more then she liked him!
could you imagine what she thought when she saw what he did to norman!?
aaghh!!!
can someone wiki what the law is on animal abuse/murder/battery?
because i wanna know the FACTS about what the punishment is for this. not the nice “get fried in a huge skillet” fantasies im hearing. i wanna know whatll happen ti this fuckwad
That sick motherfucker! Send his ass to ol’ sparky and shock his cat murdering balls off!
…
Horrible story. Disturbing reactions. I wonder, if the cat had been a human being, would people hope for the assailant to be raped? What if the assailant had been female?
As heinous a crime as animal cruelty is (and it is heinous), I’m more than slightly perturbed at the rampant demands for rape as a punishment. With rape such a rampant and widespread evil in our prisons – just imagine yourselves in jail, ladies and gents, it doesn’t have to be for anything horrific – and the immediate calls for its implementation (as if it were not a plague, but a feature), I wonder how much distance separates the perpetrator from those demanding this punishment.
It’s less than you’d think.
I know i’m in the minority here but so what? I’m not saying it’s right. The guy’s obviously sick in the head. But jail time? I say fine him so it hurts and move on. I think the system has plenty, PLENTY of unsolved murders and beatings to deal with where the victims are people. I mean what’s next? Accidentally run over a squirrel gets you an ‘animal slaughter’ charge? 5 to 10 years?! Plus, if they put this guy in jail suddenly there’s no more room for Joe-Ax-Murderer who hasn’t quite finished his sentence so gets let out early. Frankly i think this animal felony stuff is pretty silly
He did it for the lulz
that cunt i would slaughter him for doing that that bastard
I’m shocked. Honestly. This guy is fucking trash. If anybody slaughtered my pet like that, I’d probably do worse to them. A lot worse.
that guy is an asshole. it makes me sick to hear what he did to that poor cat. i was watching the news earlier and that asshole had the nerve to say he did what he did out of “self-defense”. what a fucking prick, you dont fucking beat a cat to death out of self-defense
i wish i had my hands on that guy
The guy clearly has issues if he got jealous of a cat after dating the girl for only 6 weeks!
The guys a sicko. He’s obviously never dated a chick with pets before.
Some of these reactions are sickening too. The media response is absolutely vile. The woman who boiled her baby on the stove = victim. Man beats cat = serial killer.
It is a disgusting act and the guy should go to jail. But so should all the assholes who run people down in cars, or drink drive and kill people, yet they only get fined. Sick, sick world.
(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)
I feel so much pain for the poor cat. Just living it’s day drinking water, eating, using the litter box, grooming and sleeping. It must have been terrified.
I wish to put the guy in a pen with an African lion.
Same thing Norman went through I believe.
