Would the cruel idiot who glued the cat to the highway in Minnesota please step forward? There are a bunch of people who’d like to take turns using you as a punching bag, at the very least.

If you’re not familiar with this story, a woman was traveling along Interstate 90 in western Minnesota on December 18, when she drove by a cat lying in the middle of the highway.  She turned around to check it out and found it glued to the pavement, but still alive.  She took it to the Second Chance Rescue Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A volunteer at the center took the cat home, but the rough treatment he’d received prior to this was too much for Tiny Tim, and he died just before Christmas.  The center has started a reward fund for information about the incident that leads to a conviction. At last count, it had reached over $12,000, and actor Ken Wahl had pledged his Golden Globe award from the TV show, “Wiseguy.”

We’ll leave it to other blogs to invent creative punishments for the person or person who glued poor Tim to the road. But we’ll join their voices in calling for just punishment for their acts.
