A California man has pleaded guilty to the killing or harming of more than 20 cats he abducted from a San Jose neighborhood.
The Santa Clara District Attorney’s office says 25-year-old Robert Ray Farmer entered his plea Tuesday. He faces more than 16 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Farmer abducted the cats from the quiet residential Cambrian Park neighborhood.
Investigators arrested him last year after they found him sleeping in a car where the carcass of an orange tabby cat and several cat collars were later discovered.
Authorities say Farmer may have killed up to 16 cats. Only four bodies were found.
Surveillance video of one of the cat abductions coupled with many resident tips to police led to Farmer’s arrest.

Castration is too good for the bum

Why does anyone get upset about the man killing 20 cats, when thousands of human babies are murdered everyday in the abortion clinics. The baby is killed then cut up and body parts sold.
REally!!!!

That doesn’t make people’s pets being killed by this non-Arab jihadi of no consequence.
Just because that’s your key issue, doesn’t mean that others can’t be concerned about other atrocities.
Has it ever occurred to you that for some of those cat’s owners, their cat might have been their only company? But those people don’t matter; only your favorite issue matters?

Just wait till he gets to jail. Killing dogs or cats ….somebody is going to get a beating in jail…
I would be surprised if he survives one year in
Jail before somebody beats him senseless
and stands on his windpipe. And watches him turn a pretty shade of blue and die. Please do society a favor and strangle this douchebag!

Remember that it’s Californica… it probably won’t be sent to jail. However, someone whose beloved pet was killed (or turned up missing) might give it what it deserves.

Assume he was homeless, living in his car. Maybe he was eating them to survive…taking domestic that would be cleaner, disease free…Can’t imagine even the Insane willfully sleeping in a closed tiny space with stench of a rotting dead animal so maybe he wasn’t you know joy killing & letting “carcuss” rot…I feel for families that lost loved pets, but there’s more to this story. One thing that is for sure is Calif’s homeless population & problems are super crazy & left to get more & more out of control which is causing and allowing more & more disgusting desperate acts by desperate humans.
