NY Post Columnist Says Beaten Cat Deserved to Die!

NY Post Columnist Says Beaten Cat Deserved to Die!

Target:
Ed., NY Post, K. Rupert Murdoch, CEO, News Corporation

There is a case going on now in the Manhattan Courts
concerning a man who brutally beat and killed his girlfriends
cat in a drunken, jealous rage. You can read all about it and
sign the petition against the cat-killer here;

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/celeb-boyfriend-kills-cat-in-drunken-jealous-rage



Meanwhile, New York Post columist Andrea Peyser wrote an
article about this case, stating her belief that the cat "deserved
every blow he got" and called the prosecution of the cat-killer a
"waste of time and tax-payers money." You can read Andrea's 
cold-hearted article here;

http://www.nypost.com/seven/09182008/news/columnists/felonious_ball_of_fur_deserved_every_blo_129691.htm

We are petitioning the NY Post and its owners, 
"News Corporation," to let them know that the kind of
callous indifference Andrea Peyser's article portrays does
not reflect well on the newspaper or the company that owns it. 
We want to remind them that animal cruelty
is no laughing matter and that we need to take these
sort of crimes seriously. Studies show there is a direct link
between animal abusers and violent crimes against people. 

We think Andrea Peyser should be FIRED for suggesting
that an innocent animal deserved to be beaten for any
reason as sends a wrong message to readers that animal
abuse is "tolerable," or "ok" to have in a civilized society - 
Talk about bad press! Your paper  would be better off without
writers who openly "expouse" or support animal cruelty in
any form,.....
after all, it is against the law, and for good reason,  it is morally,
ethically and legally WRONG!  Shame on Andrea for writing such a
heartless article, and shame on The New York Post & News
Corporation for allowing it. 



The New York Post has been criticized for what many consider
its lurid headlines, sensationalism, blatant advocacy and
conservative bias. In 1980, the Columbia Journalism Review
asserted that "the New York Post is no longer merely a
journalistic problem. It is a social problem - a force for evil."

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged
by the way its animals are treated" - Ghandi

"I care not for a mans religion whos dog or cat
  is not the better off for it" - A. Lincoln

Please contact the NY Post and the News Corporation
who owns them, and let them know what you think of
Mz. Adrea Peysers making light of the serious crime of
animal abuse & cruelty.

Not only should this repulsive man be punished for his despicable act of cruelty, but this columnist should be fired as well. Great, now I have one more (HUGE) reason to have no respect for the NY Post. She thinks making a big deal out of this crime is a waste of taxpayer money?? Animal abuse IS a CRIME. And guess what, it's a precursor to domestic violence. Would punishing that be a waste of taxpayer money as well? Nice to know the NY Post hires columnists who spew hate and ignorance. Andrea Peyser is a soulless turd.

Are you serious that this person actually wrote this for a public to see? What was FUNNY in any of that? Whether a person is an animal lover or not, there is absolutely NOTHING funny about killing a cat. I think someone else could have represented The Post better. SHAME on this woman for writing the crap she did.

This should not go unpunished.

If the author was trying for tounge-in-cheek humor, she failed. She comes off sociopathic at best. I'm sure there are more qualified voices to represent the NY Post.
# 1,166:
3:41 pm PST, Nov 29, Charlotte Knight, New Jersey
I'm hoping she was trying to be humorous here, but it's not appropriate to encourage people to kill their lover's pets. Or any animals.

It is horrific that somebody can have so little regard for the law that she would write an article laughibly justifying the actions of a sadistic, drunken coward. Regardless of her personal distaste for cats, it is completely and utterly against the law to harm, torture or maime an animal. If the columnist truly believes that this case is waste of Manhattan tax payers time, perhaps she should note that agression towards animals is one of the first predecessors to other violent behavior, against humans. Apparently, preventing this unstable individual from assaulting others is not important to her then, either. I could go round for days, but I must say, this behavior should not be tolerated by The New York Post.

Un believable that anyone this callous and cold hearted...with no regard for the law..is employed at the NY Times.
# 1,163:
8:14 am PST, Nov 28, Sonja Nielsen, Denmark
Andrea Peyser must be extremely ignorant. How can anyone have this kind of view on an animals life. I sure hope she hasn't got any pets herself or kids even, as she is not fit to be a role model, or to care for living beings, imho.. She is a pitiful, pathetic excuse for a human being. How can anyone support the sadistic killing of a innocent animal.. She is no better than that drunken idiot who did the crime...
# 1,162:
4:56 am PST, Nov 27, Marjorie Aaltink, Canada
WOW! A journalist who supports animal cruelty! To think that someone who honestly believes it was okay for this cat to be beaten is digusting. Shame on you Andrea is not the words I can even say! As far as the NY Post: you are just as digusting!

Andrea Peyser's callous brand of humor is poor press for your publication. Why you would choose to employ someone of little wit and questionable character when there are so many truly talented and morally conscious writers available doesn't say much for your paper. Keeping Ms. Peyser on your staff will only lower your readership. You would be wise to request her resignation.

You know, maybee this idiot coulmnist deserves to be beaten and then to die! Makes about as much sense, doesn't it? I am so sick of stupid, brain-dead people opening their mouth in public! She needs to lose her job and then be sentenced to working in an animal shelter-maybe she develop some compassion for God's creatures.

Effective immediately, I will cease to purchase my daily copy of the NY Post and will not do so until it is announced that Andrea Peyser has been fired with no chance of reinstatement. I will also attempt to cease patronizing as many of their advertisers as possible. There is no justification for the filth she has spewd forth regarding the brutal and intentional killing of an innocent creature.

What is wrong with society today? The abuse of the weak and innocent or the callous condoning of an act so cold blooded that I wonder when they are going to start burning books? or will all of us that love animals have to wear a star with a dog or cat in the center, shortly after we will probably be rounded up for caring!Andrea should be fired on the spot also her boss for letting this go to print!Any cold blooded murder, and that is what it was should be treated as such, would you want that maniac living by you or Andrea? She's the kind of person who will see a crime and walk the other way if it won't benefit her. Please NY Post, dont let this slip under the carpet, do what you know is right.

I don't know who makes me more sick, the murderer or Andrea Peyser, in my eyes they are both monsters. As for the murderer let's hope he gets what he deserves, as for Andrea I wouldn't call it indifference but total disrespect for all living beings. A person like her should be FIRED at once and bever allowed to publish anything again. Because of people like her more and more innocent animals are daily brutally killed. I sincerely hope that The New York Post will react properly according to our wishes. As for you Andrea, what a piece of trash you are.
