Documents were sent to prosecutors Wednesday, accusing the unnamed Fukuoka man of breaking the law banning cruelty to animals. " I wanted to be a star on the Net, " the 26-year-old unemployed man was quoted by police as saying. " I have always hated cats since I was a kid because they always relieved themselves in my garden. " However, he reportedly showed remorse. " I never expected to cause such a big furor. I want to say sorry to everyone. " The man added that the mutilated cat is alive despite losing its tail in the vicious attack. " I released it. " The man reportedly picked up the cat on the streets and was feeding it at first. However, he unleashed gruesome attacks against the cat after it " soiled " his room, police said. He then posted the photos -- including images of the cat after he severed its ears and tail and hung it with a piece of wire -- on the " I hate Pets " section of the Ni Channel chat site for four hours from 11 p.m. on May 6. Police traced the unemployed man by studying Internet provider records. (Mainichi Shimbun, May 22, 2002) LAUNCH - Your Music Experience http://launch.
