SINGAPORE, Oct. 16 -- A Singapore man has admitted to abusing cats in the Ang Mo Kio area, in what prosecutors have described as "one of the worst cases of animal cruelty" they had ever encountered.

The Straits Times (ST) reported Barrie Lin Pengli, 32, as pleading guilty yesterday to three counts of animal cruelty, with two additional charges to be considered during his sentencing on November13.

Lin's disturbing behavior included kicking, suffocating, and ultimately, killing two cats by throwing them from high-rise buildings.

Despite his admission of having major depressive disorder, Deputy Principal District Judge Kessler Soh rejected the idea of a mandatory treatment order instead of jail time.

SIGN: Justice For Beloved Cat Allegedly Stomped On And Tossed From Skyscraper
Petition Target: Singapore National Parks Board Director of Prosecution

"A helpless cat plummeted 38 stories to a terrifying death after being allegedly stomped on, brutalized, and then tossed off a public housing building in Singapore, according to the Straits Times.

[snip]

Garfield, or 'Field Field' as she was affectionately called, was beloved by the community she lived amongst.
The little orange cat may have walked right up to her attacker before her death, trusting that she would be treated with compassion.
It is devastating to imagine the terror and pain she was subjected to."
