Painted Cat
(N.Z. Press Association)
PALMERSTON NORTH. February 22.
“This is a type of offence which society looks upon with abhorrence. There must be a nasty streak in you to have done this,” Mr D. G. Sinclair, S.M., told Ronald Charles McMurray, aged 20, today. Accused, who was appearing for sentence on a charge of cruelly ill-treating a cat by painting it with green paint on January 11, was sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment, to be followed by 12 months on probation, during which he will be required to abstain from intoxicating liquor. The incident arose after a disagreement with a girl living in a flat in Palmerston North. The cat was later taken to the S.P.C.A. in a distressed condition and had to be destroyed.
