Dad gets sentenced for killing cat
First of all...what was he thinking? or was he?
An Indiana man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting he forced his 7-year-old daughter to stab the family cat to death.
During his sentencing he was "extremely sorry" for his actions. The judge in the case told him it wasn't "civilized conduct."
In exchange for a guilty plea on animal cruelty and two counts of neglect, prosecutors dropped three other felony charges against the 39-year-old man.
According to the ASPCA, in an affidavit filed Thursday in Delaware County alleges the man told his 11-year-old son and daughter he wanted them to "learn how to kill" and ordered them to kill the family's pet cat.
The siblings told police their father was drunk when they were dropped off for a visit at his Muncie residence, according to the affidavit. They said he is "a different person" when he's drunk.
