Inhumanity

Sometimes, you really can't figure out what people are thinking.

Carted off for a psychiatric evaluation Thursday was Veronica Helen Smith, of Lorain, Ohio, who apparently kept about 100 cats in her house. My parents had cats in the house; and while I don't appreciate cats as pets, I can tolerate them. Keeping 100 cats in the house deserves a trip for a psychological evaluation.

Marlene Kess kept only 48 cats in her house, but had about 200 dead ones in garbage bags in the backyard of her East Orange, NJ, home. Don't tell me: The taxidermist was busy and got behind.

I suppose that Veronica and Marlene started their obsessive collection of cats with good intentions, but Derik Wilhelm, who is a Castalia,Ohio, police officer, has a different problem. He threw kittens out of his car while speeding down a highway.

In Cooperstown, Tennessee, William Milliken, Donald Ray Hackett and Kimberly Beard were arrested for tossing 22 dogs out of a moving car, 20 of them puppies.

Much has been done in the name of religion. Louis Lamonica, 45, of Holden, Louisiana, Christian minister, along with a couple other of his flock, including Deputy Sheriff Christopher Labat, unfortunately did not restrict their sexual activities to having carnal knowledge of dogs and cats, but took advantage of children in the congregation. I could think of some creative sentences for these holy men. Any suggestions?

While we are on the subject of chicken shit, who would expect Waterbury, Connecticut, to be the scene of a cockfight witnessed by a crowd of more than 100 people? Thirty-five people were arrested and at least 75 chickens were seized, along with $70,000.

Welcome to the camp, I bet you all know why we're here. Three kids, 12, 13, and 14 years old, from Andover, Massachusetts, thought they were at camp, not to play pinball, but to beat chickens with lacrosse sticks and fishing rods and kill them with a blowtorch. They also blew up frogs with firecrackers. It's nice to know that one mother grounded her son for the transgressions. How about some psychological help, Mom?

There were more, such as the 15-year-old East Liverpool, Ohio, lad who killed a hamster in front of classmates at school by twisting it. Then he threatened to kill the very kids he sought to entertain. The prosecutor, apparently unlike the sick-o's parents, recognized the need for therapy.

What is going on in the world?
