Thankfully, the kittens live and will adopted out to forever-homes:

It's my job to cover both the good and the bad, but when it comes to some heartbreaking stories, like this one, it remains impossible for me to comprehend the depths of depravity to which certain humans can reach.

This crime of animal cruelty is particularly heinous and I hope the perpetrator, if found guilty, is punished severely. Luckily, though, there is a good side to this story too.

Forty-four-year-old Francis McGinley, whose court records reflect a long history of drunken shenanigans, told his roommates that he purposely ran over two four-week-old kittens with his truck, planning to eat them for dinner, according to the Delaware County Daily Times.

1. Fuck Francis McKinley. And thank his roommates for being decent humans. nt

2. Sounds like they've found another

GOP congressional candidate.

3. Anyone who commits such acts should be required to surrender DNA and

have it stored. This creep has serious issues. If a88holes knew that torturing animals meant their DNA would be filed, they may think twice.

4. Can he throw a football? nt

5. What kind of a fucked up bullshit comment is that?

More to the point, why didn't I think of it first? :evilgrin:

[jallo]

16. ok, I admit it.

I lol'd. I very rarely ACTUALLY lol. That was sick... and ingenious... and funny!

6. Funny, there's nothing in the cited Delaware County Daily Times about that story.

You'd think something this shocking would have at the least been the Most Popular, Most Commented, or Most Shared stories.

8. Good point. Perhaps he just FOUND the kittens

Calgiano said she doubts that McGinley ran them over with his truck because it's unlikely they could have survived. Dave Schlott, the Chester animal-control officer who took the kittens to the vet, said he was told that someone had squeezed them.

Although he was so drunk, maybe he squeezed the kittens, almost to death, then brought them home to clean and eat them?

EDIT- this comment is for comment #7.

7. This story doesn't make any sense.

You run over a kitten with a truck and it's dead or untouched, period. Only the tires would make contact with the kitten. They are small and a trucks clearance is high.

11. not much meat on those kittens

You'd think he'd go after a full-grown dog instead, if he was hungry.

[XanaDUer]

12. Well, he was drunk and, maybe, he thought kittens were more tender?

Plus, full-grown dogs got much bigger teeth... :7

13. that was my first thought on reading the title

He made the kittens into pancakes? Yuck. And then that the kittens survived? Then they weren't run over. He may have injured them with his bare hands, but he didn't run over them with a truck.

[XanaDUer]

14. Yes, he was really shit-faced

How he even caught two kittens is beyond me. Feral kittens run fast! I know, when I try to feed some around here, they run and hide.

9. "Long history of drunken shenanigans". Please. He's forty-four, not a college freshman.

He is lucky he hasn't run over and killed a human...yet.

If left to his own devices, he will, eventually.

His license to drive needs to be permanently revoked, and caught driving, he needs to serve time.


A sociopath whose tendencies come out when inebriated.

10. Has Tucker Carlson issued a Fatwa calling for his execution yet?

:shrug:

15. when eating meat, it is important to make sure the creature isn't still fighting you while consuming

its flesh.

butt kittens are not considered a food source in the United States.

this person did it wrong.

alcohol is a hell of a drug.
