Convicted cat killer Timothy Kooyman faces new animal cruelty charges

Geez.  Lock this guy up before he starts doing this to humans.  Ed.

RIVERSIDE – A man convicted of torturing and killing cats in Rancho Cucamonga faces new criminal charges for killing cats in April 2008 at a Corona motel.

Riverside County prosecutors filed three counts of felony animal cruelty Friday against Timothy Kooyman, 25, who is serving a five-year prison term.

After Kooyman was arrested for abusing cats in Rancho Cucamonga – acts which included cutting off cats’ tails with scissors and setting one cat on fire – he confessed to detectives that he had recently committed similar acts at the National Inn in Corona, according to police reports.

Investigators said they believe he may have lured cats from a nearby neighborhood before abusing them in his motel room.

Kooyman told detectives he broke the cats’ legs, decapitated a cat with an ax, ran over another with his truck, and cut another repeatedly with a razor blade, according to police reports.

About a month and a half after the alleged abuse in Corona, Kooyman was arrested in Rancho Cucamonga for killing cats there.

San Bernardino County prosecutors initially charged Kooyman for the alleged abuse in Corona as well as his acts in Rancho Cucamonga, but a judge dismissed the Corona charges because the alleged crimes occurred in a different county.

Kooyman pleaded guilty to the Rancho Cucamonga charges.

    If he ever hurt a cat of mine or one for whom I care he’d be one sorry-*ss b*tch.  I am one crazy cat lady and I’m not alone.  He better watch his back ’cause he’s going to get it.

    Now he’s about to be set free! This is a serious issue because this sort of cruelty usually escalates to it being done to others who cannot fight back like a child.

    The justice<?> system seems to be so broken. The jails are full of generally harmless drug (marijuana) users but these sociopaths are let loose on the rest of us. He WILL do this and worse, again and again. Unfortunately, the way the system DOESN’T work to keep these vermin locked up will end up producing vigilante groups.

    • We have an island, but our sink is on the wrap arunod counter. You’re right- a sink on the island would be great. Also, i would advise against granite countertops. We have them and they CONSTANTLY need to be re-sealed. I would LOVE to have Corian. Te prettiest kitchen I ever saw had burnt orange corian countertops and dark dark mahogony cabinets. Sounds wierd but it was beautiful. Good luck in your search!

    AND THE AUTHORITIES ARE GOING TO LET THIS CRETIN LOOSE ON AN UNSUSPECTING SOCIETY????? WHY? THIS MAN IS A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC! Why in the name of doG would this man be released…are you waiting for him to do this to a child or another unsuspecting person? This man MUST be locked up behind lock and key for the rest of his life. Ever heard of Jeff Dahmer, John Wayne Gacey, and the other serial killers? THIS IS HOW THEY BEGAN THEIR REIGN OF TERROR and all the signs were there!
