Hammer kill over cat bite

A THUG killed his cat with a hammer after it bit him.

A neighbour saw Adrian Straw hit Lupo, 14, over the head three times last July.

Prosecutor Paul Wright told Nottingham magistrates they asked what he was doing and the 54-yearold replied: “She bit me.”

Straw, from Bulwell, admitted causing unnecessary suffering and failing to meet Lupo’s needs.

He got 12 weeks, suspended for 12 months, and was banned from keeping animals for life.
