Arizona drifter jailed for skinning cat, wearing tail

An Arizona drifter who skinned a cat and wore its tail and innards around his neck was sentenced to two years in prison on Wednesday.
An Arizona Superior Court judge also sentenced Russell Christopher Hofstad, 25, to four years probation on his release, the Maricopa County Attorney's office said.

If the cat was alive. Bad. If it was dead who cares? If he killed it then ate it who cares? Waste not want not. And no I am not going to another pointless link. Just going by what is here.

Got what he deserves.

Even tho I would give him 5 years with force work.

There is enough cats on the streets being hit by car, he could skin 100 cats per day if he want, but noooo..he was smart and brutally killed a cat, idiot.

What an odd ball.

There is more than one way to skin a cat.

He didn't pick the best way.

The thrill of the hunt. What a warrior

Also:

Although two years is a lot of time for something like this, it sets a precedence so anybody else would think twice about doing something like this. Did you know many serial killers start off by killing animals?

**Punkbaster** · 08-30-12 at 10:27 AM

Oh c´mon, give me a break. 2 years for a cat ?! Thats ridiculous.
YES, he's obviously nutts....but really? ...2 years?

Oh, and this :

Quote:

Hofstad told police he had recently been released from jail and had nowhere to live. He said he had not eaten in a few days, so he hit the cat with a stick and then stabbed it.

So what is your point? If you are nutts then you don't need to go in jail?
He could find in trash more and healthier food. He is nuts, but there are places for nut peoples. He could piss on american flag in front of white house and he would be in jail and have food with bed - not by killing a cat.

Did I said I am cat lover? :P

I can see killing a cat and eating it if you are hungry---very hungry---but I have to draw the line when you hang its guts and tail around your neck!! Lock his @ss up and keep him away form the populace!

**Silvergrin** · 08-30-12 at 11:24 AM

If it was dead who cares but if not wtf. I have skinned a fox before and a raccoon but they were found dead.

**Mbbest** · 08-30-12 at 11:30 AM

^^
Ofcourse its ok to skin animal after its found dead, or atleast killed fast and without pain, but killing a cat with stick?? Cats are very strong animals, they didnt give up easy, she has suffered unbealivable pain before she drop dead.
