Canadian Police Locate Alleged Cat Torturer

In June 2001 two Canadian college students were arrested and charged with animal cruelty after a videotape of them and an unidentified man torturing and killing a cat was discovered. The students maintained they made the tape as part of an art project in order to highlight animal cruelty.

The third man in the tapes was finally arrested in March. Matthew Kaczorowski, 21, was arrested in Toronto and charged with mischief, theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property.

The theft and stolen property charges stem from the fact that the cat that Kaczorowski and the other men killed for the video was a house cat that Kaczorowski stole in order to make the video.
