South Bend, Indiana – A 23-year-old Indiana man has been arrested and charged for killing multiple kittens. As reported by WVPE News, Tyler Coday was arrested at his apartment by officers conducting a welfare check.
Coday allegedly answered the door of his Irish Hills apartment and told officers that he had been doing things he “was not proud of,” and said, “some cats were hurt.”

When asked where the cats were, Coday told officers they were dead, and in a trash can. Officers found two deceased kittens in the kitchen trash container.
Three other living cats were still in the house, prompting officers to call Coday’s roommate, who was working out of state. The roommate told the authorities that Coday had killed two other cats for being playful.
Coday is charged with four Level 6 felony counts of torturing or mutilating a vertebrate animal. He was booked, without bond, into the St. Joseph County Jail. The surviving cats were taken in by the South Bend Animal Resource Center.

A subhuman scum of the earth who needs be severely mutilated and punished.
Knowing our pathetic justice system won’t give the piece of shit what he actually deserves,
What a waste of oxygen.
Poor kittens 🙁 I am appalled 😡😡😡
Hopefully some nice animal loving folks in the cooler will take care of him.
His so-called mental health condition could be cured very quickly with a baseball bat or similar to the back of this bastards head!! Job done then disappear quickly.This is the only way any tortured and murdered animals will ever get justice!

DMP- This is about a deranged fucker that enjoys torturing and killing his roommate’s cats while his roommate is away working not about covid and/or school shootings! Please advocate for punishment for animal abuse and for stronger law enforcement.
And especially for mental health counseling for animal abusers that admit that they are aware that they are doing something wrong as most do not acknowledge that they are doing something wrong or bad.
This individual needs to be locked up for a long time. There is never an excuse for animal cruelty; especially those that can’t even defend themselves. The roommate also deserves punishment for not reporting the abuse and killings of those innocent, defenseless kittens.
qu’il crève cette merde de fils de pute !
This mentally deranged killer requires instigation o0f the death penalty. A slow and agonizing extermination is essential for this scumbag.
Felony laws should be taken seriously. He is a danger not only to animals but to society in general. Jail time and fines and no pets allowed near him for the remainder of his sorry life!!!!
5 min alone with this scum .. that’s all I ask. On the 6th he won’t be breathing!!!!
This is what someone does when they took the Covid jabs it melts the pineal gland and changes personality. Andi I would bet the farm his is on aSSRI’s every school shooting the people or kids were on SSRI’s
They will do nothing to him and he will continue to do this…I wish I knew a hit man…
OH SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CONSPIRACY IDIOT-YOU WERE BORN MENTALLY DERANGED JUST LIKE THIS PERP YOU BELONG IN JAIL TOO YOU FUCKING IMBECILE!
I’ve had several vaccines for covid and my Pineal gland is just fine. Maybe get off those conspiracy websites and do the real research. Seems lots of things affect the pineal gland. Like toothpaste with fluoride. It’s all bs. He’s just nuts. Don’t make excuses for someone who is just nuts.
He killed the kittens because they were being playful?Thats what kittens do. This asshole didn’t need an excuse to do what he did ,he did it because he liked it, end of story
I agree with Ruth. I hope it is made known to other inmates what he did to these helpless kittens and some animal lovers give him REAL justice not the slap on the wrist he will probably get from our weak kneed justice system when it comes to animal cruelty.. The room mate is just as culpable as this shitbag because he/she knew this guy had done this before so why leave these little innocents with this prick knowing he could not be trusted around these animals. The room mate sounds totally irresponsible and I hope to hell they take the other cats away.

Not a man it’s a vile monster!
He readily admitted he had done something he wasn’t proud of!! So he was in his right mind so there should be no insanity plea!!hoping the judge locks this monster up !
Put him in jail let the inmates know he’s in there for mutilating kittens. Hopefully the inmates hate animal cruelty as much as they hate pedophiles.. This is ridiculous and the roommate needs to face charges as well. He knew what was going on and he did nothing to stop it.
I hope they both rot in hell!
The legal system will be too kind to this monster. He deserves to suffer like those innocent kittens did.
jail and let the other inmates know hat he did
given him the same punishment. an eye for an eye
The roommate knew and did nothing. Who called for a welfare check and on who (or what)? This POS knew he was doing evil and did it anyway. Fine him heavily and use it to save other cats and kittens. Prosecute and incarceration for the maximum amount. NEVER let this scum near another animal.
KEEP THIS SADISTIC MONSTER ‘OFF’ THE STREETS!!! INCARCERATE FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES HE IS A VERY REAL DANGER TOO SOCIETY!!!
HE MUST HAVE SERIOUS PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENTS AND TREATMENTS ONGOING !!!
PLUS GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY IN SOMEWAY????
HE HAS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES TO SAY THE VERY LEAST!!
