While the son drives the vehicle, his mother sits in the front passenger seat. Allegedly, the son drives over three cats and his mother praises him online for doing his bit in eliminating the cat population.
Extraordinary social media post – an admission of a crime
The mother’s social media post states that she is proud of her son. The following is a quote from the mother’s social media post:
“As he drives mom around and runs over three cats, maybe people should keep their cats at their house and not on the street. So proud of him. Eliminating the cat population.”
On this page I have reproduced a rather murky image showing the face of the mother whose name is: Vasfije Cain aka Vas Cain. I believe that she also has the name Vasfije Tairi but I’m not sure. The bane ‘Vasfije’ is Turkish I believe. Turkish people like their cats normally!
The alleged crime is all over the New Jersey news media and has been picked up other news outlets. You cannot deny the incredible degree of ignorance of the woman because what she is posting is an admission of a crime under the New Jersey animal welfare laws.
We are told that on September 12 the police in Hopatcong, NJ, have arrested a person for deliberately killing an animal with a vehicle. Apparently the police were notified on August 22. Both the son and mother failed to report the alleged killings of three cats by a vehicle.
Comment
This is another example of misplaced arrogance combined with ignorance which allows these people to proudly declare on social media their crime. It’s astonishing that a person would decide to do this. It’s a very nasty and cruel crime if proved in court which has been compounded by a very stupid act: a self-confession on social media.
“Mueller said it is his understanding that the Hopatcong police were unable to confirm that a cat was killed by Cain and have not secured any physical evidence, charging her based on the social media post alone.
No one has come forward and reported their cat was killed, he said.
According to Mueller, an individual cannot be arrested based on a social media post alone unless there is well-established evidence of the crime occurring, for example, if the crime happens in the presence of a law enforcement officer or if there is physical evidence.
“We are investigating to see if either a fourth-degree animal cruelty charge is appropriate or if the matter should be administratively dismissed,” he said.”
(1) If the DA goes to court based on a Facebook comment he should be fired.
(2) If the woman’s attorney can’t defend her against such a ridiculous charge, he should be disbarred.
Dunno what they have in the UK nowadays, but here we have something called freedom of speech. It applies to written, as well as verbal, communication. Any competent DA will toss this charge outta court so quickly it’ll bounce. Otherwise he’ll be BACK in court answering a lawsuit which will cost his town an embarrassing amount of money.
I’m sure civil rights lawyers are already drooling over this one–and rightly so.
She has been charged..’Cain now faces charges of hitting a domestic animal and failing to report the incident..’
Well, my fellow cat and dog lover, it sounds to me like you would love some education…? Call me.
Your one of those cat hating morons. Deliberately driving over a cat is a crime. Period. That’s obvious except to you who is decidedly thick. The hard part is proving it but mom in the FB post goes a long way to proving a crime. You’re banned.
If you are willing to be forthcoming, then you are allowed on this website.
There are far too many examples of cruelty and negligent cruelty. I would like to describe cruelty based on breeding. Allow me, Michael.
