Cat abuser faces jail

 

FUKUOKA -- A man who has admitted to giving a live

broadcast of his brutal abuse of a cat faces a rare

jail term with prosecutors asking the Fukuoka District

Court to sentence him to 6 months imprisonment.

 

Prosecutors asked the court to find Jun Matsubara

guilty of animal abuse and to send him to prison

instead of issuing a fine, as is usually the case with

offenders.

 

Prosecutors took the rare step of demanding a prison

term because they deemed the alleged abuse Matsubara

unleashed was of extreme cruelty.

 

The 27-year-old from Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture, is

accused of slicing the ears and tail off a cat during

a live broadcast over the Internet.

 

" His crime was evil, asking those who watched the live

broadcast whether he should first cut off the cat's

ears or its tail, " a prosecutor told the court. " His

actions have deeply affected society. "

 

Matsubara has pleaded guilty to the charges.

 

" I began to attack myself for failing to live up to

the expectations of my boss at work and writing about

my abuse of animals became a way for me to feel

better, " Matsubara told the court. " I'd pick up this

stray cat and washed it, but when it pooped in my

bath, I felt as though it had betrayed me. I decided

to take out my anger toward the cat by abusing it. "
