MAN HELD ANIMAL SHELTER AT (FAKE) GUNPOINT TO GET HIS CAT BACK

A former Australian soldier stormed into an animal shelter in full combat gear and a fake assault rifle, and held an employee captive at fake gunpoint, to get his cat back. Tony Wittman, 45, pleaded guilty on Monday to charges connected to the bizarre incident at the Lost Dogs’ Home outside of Melbourne back on January 11. The young shelter worker pleaded with Wittman not to harm her as he repeatedly questioned her about where the cats were being kept. He tied her hands behind her back and threatened to shoot her, making her count to 100 as he left the shelter without his cat. And then what happened? He came back the next morning, and was arrested. Wittman blamed the incident on PTSD from his military service, saying he needed his cat for support.
* Well, obviously. Duh.
* Sounds like the cat must have escaped and who can blame it?
* Uh – is he aware you can’t have a cat in prison?
* “Here’s your cat, sir. You know what? Take two. Take three. Here, take them.”
* The dogs of war need their pussycats.
