Animal Abuser, Catsaw, Kills Cats Claiming Animal Advocacy.

WARNING!!! -- VERY GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING MATERIAL!!!
(Graphic pictures of animal abuse and letters of the abuser at the bottom of the post)

My Korean friend has filled me in on some recent disturbing news. Apparently, a Korean gentleman under the pseudonym, Catsaw, has been inspired by the gore flick, SAW. From what my friend says, Catsaw has been torturing cats and spreading riddles to netizens from Internet cafés.

I have not seen any of it in English yet; therefore, I believe that this news is worth mentioning. Before continuing, I understand that some people crave attention by breaking social taboos. This is a difficult matter when voluntarily spreading information that helps them in their cause. At the same time, I do not see that as a valid cause for self-censorship. While writing about someone's misdeeds may give them the very attention that they desire, the information may prove useful for other purposes. I hope that through debate, Catsaw and people with similar ideas can understand the mistakes of their reasoning. Through logical discourse, people may realise that what seemed like an intelligent and rational idea at first was not a worthwhile thought to put into action. Logic reveals irrational justifications for malformed deeds.

Underneath the images, Catsaw, the suspected animal abuser has written riddles in a similar format as Jigsaw from the movie series SAW. The riddles threaten that if people do not follow the requests of the letter, Catsaw will kill the feline hostages. Catsaw sets the stage by mentioning how people buy cats and then throw them away when the cat becomes boring.

To summarize most of the letter, Catsaw claims that society treats animals harshly; therefore, if netizens wish to save the cats, the people must give Catsaw reasons about why he should not kill the cats. He has turned this into a game and then claims that this is all a demonstration to benefit cats--a chance for society to reflect on how people treat animals.

After killing the first cat, claiming it was because he felt that people were accusing him instead of pleading with him, he posted a second letter with photos of another cat--offering a second chance. Included in the letter, was a list in which he asks how much life is worth and if life can be calculated into money. Next he asks if humans and animals have the same life worth. Lastly, he asks for the justification behind eating dog meat.

I am not certain if Catsaw has been caught. There have been suspects; however, it is unclear. Unfortunately, Catsaw might abuse more cats if he is not caught.

The Korean letters are written in the photos. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible as the news unravels.

"This letter was posted by Catsaw on Ya-ong-i gallery (means Gallery for cats) in ‘http://www.dcinside.com/’.

Letter 1.
Title: Hello, guys in Yaongi gallery
Hello, guys in Yaongi gallery. I have been doubts about your careless in your own cats for months. Why people who badly want a cat don’t care their cats when they finally have their cat?
There is a cat named ‘Cha cha’. Now she (maybe) is suffering, though.
If you guys play simple game with me, this cat will come back her home after a cure for damages. The rule of first game is simple. You have to persuade me not to kill the cat without abuse and debasement. If you break the rule or delete this letter, poor ‘Cha cha’ will be back with a cold body.
Well, why don’t we start this game?

Letter 2.
Title: Let’s start the second game
(posted a picture of a bottle of Chloroform, and could see a cat behind the bottle.)
Cha cha was already killed. It might be started to rot under drain. What caused Chacha’s dead? My saw? Or typing keyboard by exemplary citizens having trifling morals?
Well, my answer is both of them. Physically my saw and hands which broke the neck, and the other one is typing. I would like to give a second chance. You may see a cat in the picture above. I didn’t cut the arms or something. Why? There is lack of trust. (What is related b/w not cutting arms and trust..?) I know that you guys do not fully trust me. However, you may say with a true heart “don’t kill the cat” if I try to kill the cat with a brick. It’s because I have already proved that I can kill a cat (maybe Cha cha). You will give your answer until 10pm tomorrow. If not, you will see terrible picture. However, there will be nothing happened if you give a exact answer. So, my questions are,

1. How much will be life if exchange life to money?
(First of all, there is a basis. Do you know why the US government did not introduce XM8(kind of weapon. You can find w/ googling)? It’s money. It’s quite clear that a survival rate of soldiers will be increased if using XM8, but why didn’t introduce XM8? Life is more worthless than money? Yes to them.

2. Is the life of cat and human even? If yes, why? If no, why not?

3. Justify the dog soup with 20 reasons.
Except for 1 the answers are simple, right? Think carefully and discuss.
Now I recognized that it is more like watching not a game if I take too much initiative. Thus, I decided to take over some leadership. Let’s do the Mafia game. (you may know this game. Korean people do this game when drinking alcohol. However, I don’t know this game. You can ask other friends.)

I’m going to out of PC ban(PC room), then I will galling(doing sth in Yaongi gallery, like googling) using floating nickname at home. If you will find me and report to police, you win. However, there is a prior condition. It’s evidence. I don’t even have a cat how the cop arrest me. I have already handled hairs of cat and cleaned things on this game.
Let’s get started. I will give some hints on me.
-The symbol of element : O2
-Word : C.W
-Number : 4
-English world : today

And, alba(alba means person working as part time job. In this letter, it will be web site manager)… you better not shut off my account. I’ve already shut off twice, so I have left only two resident registration numbers. (He may have 3 families except him) Again, if this account is shut off, there will be only one chance to make account. Then, I will feel pressed, it can cause something undesired happening.
I want you to know what I am doing is a demonstration to some people who think light of life, and I anesthetized when sawing."
