A lady in Ohio who murdered and ate a cat was sentenced to one year in prison after a furious judge chastised her for the startling and disgusting deed."I find this unpleasant. I mean, who would do this to an animal? And animals are like children. I'm not sure if you understand that or not. "I can't express how disappointed, shocked, and disgusted I am by this crime," he told 27-year-old Allexis Ferrell, adding that she was "quite a danger" to the community.
The incident occurred in August, amid persistent claims that Haitian immigrants in Ohio's Springfield were consuming local pets. Authorities have confirmed that Ferrell is not an immigrant.?
Bodycam footage from police officers who arrived at Ferrell's house on August 16 captured the nasty and scary images of her sitting on all fours outside eating the cat while horrified neighbours watched.
In the footage, one of the police officers is seen saying, "What did you do? "Why did you kill the cat?"The judge reprimanded Ferrell, calling her a national embarrassment. "You have shamed this country. You've shamed this country. "More importantly, you've embarrassed yourself," he stated.?
Ferrell pleaded guilty to the criminal charge of animal cruelty. Her one-year sentence will be added to an 18-month term she is serving for two other crimes, a theft in 2019 and a child endangerment conviction from last year.?
The prosecutor for the case described it as "one of the most disturbing cases" she had ever seen.?
