I think his bail should have been more. And this many cats and she wasn't suspicious?What are your thoughts?

On August 21, ASPCA Special Agents arrested Manhattan resident Sean Lynde, 36, for allegedly killing four cats and seriously injuring two others. The cats were owned by Lynde’s ex-girlfriend, Rachel Strate.

Lynde, who has a documented history of violent outbreaks, was indicted by a Manhattan Grand Jury on six counts of felony aggravated animal cruelty, seven counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty, three counts of aggravated harassment, one count of criminal mischief, two counts of criminal contempt and one count of stalking. He pleaded not guilty and is currently out on $5,000 bail.

“Incidents like these are especially chilling,” says Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Legal Counsel for the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Department. “An individual who can commit such violent acts against multiple pets over a period of months is someone who the criminal justice system needs to take serious notice of.”

The four-month killing spree began last fall after Lynde moved into Strate’s Upper West Side apartment. Events unfolded as follows:

On October 5, 2008, Strate’s 15-year-old cat, Cleo, was found dead behind a dryer with her mouth full of laundry detergent. A necropsy confirmed she also suffered head trauma, including a broken jaw and bleeding eye. A short time later, her 12-year-old cat named Zoe was found badly beaten, suffered extensive head trauma and had to be euthanized.


In November 2008, Strate adopted two three-month-old kittens, Willie and Betty. Later that month, she came home to discover Willie was unable to walk and returned him to his previous owner. On November 24, she came home to find Betty on the floor dead. “Lynde stated that Betty fell from a countertop to the floor and stopped breathing,” says Assistant Director of ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, Joseph Pentangelo.


On December 18, still not suspecting her boyfriend of any wrongdoing, Strate adopted two more kittens, Emo and Bonafide. Soon after his adoption, Emo suffered an unexplained broken paw and subsequently vanished. On January 23, Strate found Bonafide with a broken neck—he later slipped into a coma and died.


In January 2009, the ASPCA received an anonymous tip and began investigating the suspicious killings.
If you suspect that someone is committing an act of animal cruelty in your community, report it to the proper authorities immediately.

it somewhat is two times in 5 minutes i've got come for the time of this guy posting anti-gun rants. yet i'm going to respond to besides. Switzerland calls for all adult men to possess a firearm and prepare with it, and that they have got much less violent crime in keeping with capita than exceptionally lots all different international locations. additionally, for each serial / spree killer that makes use of a gun in the U. S., there are a number of different violent criminals who're now ineffective because of the fact somebody else who had a gun ended their crime spree. you in easy terms hear approximately people who had bigger physique counts. the guy who pulls out a gun to open hearth on all and sundry and gets killed on the instant via the different guy who has a hid weapon in no way gets to the information. the united kingdom has an very nearly finished gun ban, and their violent crimes are starting to be. Washington, D.C. had, up until a quick time in the past, an entire ban on handguns, and that they have got been the proud city widely used because of the fact the homicide capital of the U.S. the real clarification why we've this way of super style of violent serial / spree killers is by technique of our society, no longer because of the fact of our weapons. We frequently do no longer place a value on human existence, so killing some human beings is like no longer something in any respect. we don't appreciate one yet another, and we don't care approximately existence. The weapons which you so needless to say hate are not the situation. they're products of steel and plastic which require somebody to tug the set off with a view to function. Ban the weapons thoroughly, and you'd be wanting human beings stabbing one yet another. in case you pick to unravel the violence project, fix the situation no longer the approach of violence. If I geared up you a house and once you moved in the full element collapsed, are you going accountable my hammers?

I am soo disgusted that the laws are not tougher on these people (I dare not call them human).



Just think what they will or are already doing to kids or soon to be doing to other people in the future and then the general public wonders why nobody did anything sooner!!!



Unbelievable....

this is sick... and dangerous. If he doesn't mind doing this so physically to a cat I'd say he wouldn't mind putting a bullet through a persons head. I don't understand how people can do something like that and it not kill them on the inside... and want to do it.

a lot of murderers have a past of animal abuse and animal killing.

they sort of work theirselves up to people.

if left unchecked, it's only a matter of time.

It is a conspiracy. Ton's of dog cults that sacrifice cats to appease the great Snoopy.
