A man has been jailed for four months after he killed his cat because it ate his stash of weed.
Aaron Chapman, 29, threw his cat, Lord Biris, to the floor before stabbing it in the neck with a knife at some time on New Year’s Eve at the end of 2018.
Chapman, a bodybuilder with a building company in Bodmin, Cornwall, carried out the act in front of witnesses who were so horrified they left the room.
Magistrates said it was the ‘most horrendous, vicious assault on his own cat’, which he swung around, hitting it on the ground numerous times.
Instead of taking the clearly injured cat for treatment, he cut its through in what was described as a ‘deliberate and gratuitous act’.
Judges were left with no option but to impose an 18-week jail term and ordered him to pay £205 in fines and costs.
He has also been banned from keeping animals for life.
