Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 The horror of the tourture is truly unspeakable. I have read the review of the film"Causuality" sp.? and I bellieve that the director has and ernest desire to alert people of their inhumanity... The Divine Comedy by Dante Aligieri should be read and re-read at a time like this since the literary alegory shows the circles of hell and the tourture that is the just punishment for the sinners of the earth... We can only pray that the new world oder does not end in a world war that will eclipse all wars and be the total anihilation of this planet.

The film features the three cat torturers, Jesse Power, Anthony Wennekers, and Matt Kaczorowski, who brutally tortured and killed a cat on video in 2001. According to a review in the Toronto Sun, the film features the killers' "excuses" for what they did (they were disorganized, the razor was dull, they were on drugs) and apologists defending what they did (as well as a few critics). The director, Zev Asher, said, "I cannot condone or condemn what they did."Freedom for Animals will be organizing a demonstration at the Festival to raise awareness of what happened and to counteract the pathetic excuses of the killers. There is no excuse for what happened to Kensington.http://www.freeanimals.org/~kensingtonSummary of the events: the Toronto festival film accepted to project a film done froma friend of tree depraved people that some long agothey shooted a scene of themselves while they were torturing todied a cat. Obviously the Canadians and Americans animal-right supporterdid not accepted this terrible eventwe pray to inundate with complaints theFestival.Who wished more precise information can find them athttp://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Columnists/Toronto/Mike_Strobel/2004/08/28/605479.htmlWrite to: lgryseels ; tiffg ; proffice;customerserviceThis is the letterTo the organizers of the Toronto International Film Festival:I was horrified to learn that Linda Feesey's film,"Casuistry: TheArt of Killing a Cat", is scheduled as part of the Toronto FilmFestival.As you likely know, the film discusses the notorious case of 2001 inwhich Jesse Power, Anthony Wennekers, and Matt Kaczorowski videotapedthemselves torturing a cat to death.We would welcome efforts to raise awareness about this act of cruelty.However, you may not be aware that the producer, Linda Feesey, is anassociate of the cat torturers. (For example, her 2002 film, Mr.Kafka's Holiday, starred Jesse Power's friend Jubal Brown, who was outspokenin his support of Power during the cat video case.) Casuistry is anotheropportunity for Power and his friends to defend their horrendousactions.According to the review in the Toronto Sun, the film features manyapologists for the cat torturers. The killers show no remorse fortheir crime.By including this film in the Festival, you are not only condoning,but encouraging Jesse Power and his ilk in their actions of extreme,premeditated, and illegal cruelty to animals. We urge you to removethis film from your program. Please let me know as soon as possible whataction you will take.Thank you for your consideration.
