Green, Ohio – A 57-year-old Ohio man is facing a felony animal cruelty charge for cutting off the tails of three kittens. According to sources, Bret Stalnaker allegedly cut off the kittens’ tails and threw a container holding them at a woman during a dispute.
According to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, Stalnaker sent threatening text messages to the woman he was in a dispute with – the release states that he:
“Began sending her text messages stating he was going to harm kittens who were born nine days prior to the incident.”

Shortly thereafter, Stalnaker threw the container with three kitten tails in it.
When deputies arrived at East Turkeyfoot Lake Road, they found Stalnaker in a van with a loaded .45 caliber pistol. The man threw down the weapon before being arrested; he was booked into the Summit County Jail on animal cruelty charges.
The kittens survived the abuse and are in the care of a veterinarian.

THIS is the kind of piece of shit that needs to be sent to El Salvatore prisons.
Hom and all the others we read about here.
Despicable and mentally ill human. Punish as harshly as law allows and require mental evaluation.
Those poor, sweet baby kittens! Cats’ tails aren’t only pretty; they need their tails for balance. This should be taken into consideration by whoever gets to decide how to punish the perp. The babies may have survived the abuse, but they’ll have a much harder time learning to walk, and they will undoubtedly have lifelong balance issues resulting from the loss of their tails. 😾
Instigation of the death penalty is essential re this vile, severe, mentally deranged animal abuser!
Just can’t believe how cruel & evil some people are makes me so mad 😡

Well, here’s an idea.
Start by cutting off a certain part of his anatomy, then finish by throwing that benighted redneck trash in prison for the rest of his sorry, worthless life.
Deserves his front tail cut off! Nasty dirty disgusting monster! Doesn’t deserve to breathe.
Maybe if we make strong animal abuse laws it might make animal torture and cruelty less desirable to these demented people who think these animals don’t experience pain, or are disposable. People like this man need to serve prison time
People like this prick deserve to be DEAD!!

Individuals are not punished accordingly for these acts of cruelty towards animals and continue to carry on with their inhumanity. Our laws and punishments for these acts need to change and be enforced if this is ever going to stop!
How utterly cruel can you be? He is a despicable POS.! He deserves jail time and a hefty fine. This has got to stop.!!
human scum needs jail 5 years. forever jail fornext incident. high fine for this assalt on innocent animals.
Wicked old bastard lock that thing up , away, a danger to ALL animals .The last, judges should think of the innocent victims instead of the sadistic guilty scum judges allow to walk free .
You say Sister Kathleen, that these pieces of crap walk free! And you know why? They walk free because the waste of space Judges are scared of any repercussions from the buggers! I am sure that there are some Animal Vigilante groups out there who feel the same as I towards these arrogant nasty non-caring animal torturers and murderers, and— know what needs to be done.
I will say no more right now except there are two notches on the handle of my tried and trusted ‘coke-hammer’!! And yes it can be accomplished with careful strategy and forward planning. I sleep very well at night knowing there are two less animal torturing and murdering bastards on our planet. I’ll just say, if you feel the same loathing towards these turds then feel free to do your bit.. Have a very good plan and a fail-safe exit route. It does work!! Why should these ‘sick -brained bastards keep getting away with it?
We all know what they need and the sooner the better for the good of our world!!

Thank you!! I love the way you think! Yesss, the sooner the better!!
J’espère que la Justice ne le “ratera” pas et lui infligera une peine très lourde (à défaut de pouvoir lui couper la queue!).
He’s evil,brutally,cruel,must be punishment and stay in jail.
The picture of ignorance.
