Rene Carcamo Accused Of Hanging 25 Dead Cats In Trees

YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) — A humane society says a man has been arrested in connection with 25 dead cats that were found in plastic bags hanging from trees.

The SPCA of Westchester said Tuesday that Rene Carcamo of Yonkers has been charged with illegally disposing of the dead cats. He is not charged with killing the cats.

The group’s director of enforcement, Ernest Lungaro, says the disposal crime is what investigators feel they are “able to prove.”

The dead cats were found in April. Tests on three bodies showed they had been killed with blows to the head.

Lungaro said he had no information on a defense lawyer for Carcamo.

KO Christmas with This Street Fighter Ugly Sweater

I don’t know about you, but to me Christmas is all about Street Fighter. Maybe that’s because I celebrate Festivus, and we perform feats of strength all through the day. So Street Fighter is a big part of the holiday, naturally. That said, this ugly Christmas sweater is the perfect outfit for me.

This official Capcom sweater is a real knitted sweater too – not just printed on. This Christmas, put on your sweaters and fight to the death. Ok, maybe not to the death. Just remember, the loser gets no presents and has to clean up all of the ripped wrapping paper.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good… FIGHT!
