Our son lives in New York and we frequent NY often - we are also contributors of the humane society of New York - It is sickening that there was one juror who 'wasen't sure it wasen't self defense"... that guy might as well of been kicking this defenseless animal himself. That cat had NO CLAWS - please see to it that Petcka gets the maximum penalty...I prefer to spend our vacation money in a state that doesn't tolerate this kind of abuse. Thank you.

This hurts my heart so much that I almost couldn't come here to do this, but it's important to me.
This man needs the maximum punishment for such an AWFUL crime.
Ever mind the Rule of Three,
Three times what thou givest returns to thee.
This lesson well, thou must learn,

The greatest of a nation is judged on how it treats the lowest of its population, and this should extend to our animal friends as well.

The fact that this creature was not human does not minimize the pain and suffering it went through at the hands of someone who is supposed to be human. This person (and I do use the term loosely) deserves the maximum punishment for his heinous actions. He didn't give this cat any mercy, he deserves none in return.

Someone neeeds to speak up for the defensive, innocents who cannot speak for themselves; they wimper and cry when hurt, they bleed red when hurt, they has their own thoughts. They speak, they just speak a language that we is not truely known to the humankind.
In this case, a beloved was adopted into the home, the beautiful feline was loved by the woman.
You see, Some people adopt these loving felines as a member of their family, and others adopt them as not just a member of the family, but, accept the felines are their "fur-babies" aka: Children. Such as myself.
So, this case for me is very near, and dear to my heart. I cannot imagine a loss like this.
What this guy did was cold hearted MURDER. He needs to be punished PROPERLY, and given the maximum for this crime.
I am glad to see that this is being brought to the courts, people who abuse, harm or, murder animals NEED to be punished fully for their crimes. This guy needs to be stopped before he can commit another crime like this.

Any one that can hurt a defenseless and innocent creature like a cat has the capability to hurt another type of defenseless and innocent creature. For example, a "CHILD". Please stop this murderer before he can commit another crime.

This worthless of space needs to be beaten to death but we know that's not going to happen so he should at least be given the same sentence for first degree- murder. Then hopefully in jail justice will be served

We have to make an example by giving a maximum penalty so that those who think it's alright to kill an innocent animal will think twice. We have to send a message to those who have no sense of conscience for what is right or what is wrong.

HOW ANYONE COULD EVEN CONSIDER HURTING ESPECIALLY A HELPLESS ANIMAL SADDENS AND CONCERNS ME. IT IS A GOOD INDICATION THAT IT WOULD THINK NOTHING OF BEATING A CHILD. THERE IS NO EXCUSE: HOPEFULLY ALL COURTS WILL ALWAYS APPLY THE MAXIMUM AND EVEN CONSIDER UPPING THE PUNISHMENT FOR THESE OFFENDERS. THANK YOU.

This is absolutely disgusting and disturbing. Isn't torturing animals a red flag to someone harboring serial killer potential? This should definitely not be handled lightly.

I agree with the max penalty for this soul-less thug. If a waste of DNA like Petcka can do that to a fragile little animal like a pet cat, then he can move on to bigger prey like human beings. Make him pay with his freedom, finances and/or time.
