Who would do this?

This is exactly the type of news story that C tells me to stay away from, but the headline drew me in with a mixture of curiosity and horror, not unlike a car wreck: http://www.justnews.com/news/19653921/detail.html. Anyone who knows me knows that I am (more than) mildly obsessed with cats, and reading things like this just kills me. What kind of heartless psycho would do this to a cat? I mean, I know that not everyone is a cat person, but come on! When I read things like this, I am usually affected for the rest of the day. On that note, I am going to go give Biscuit a big kiss on the nose.
