An unnamed 40-year-old man was charged in Briec, France, in May for a
February incident in which a stray cat broke into his home and knocked
over his statue of Buddha, demolishing it. The man apparently so
reveres Buddha that, enraged, he tortured the cat by tossing it into his
washing machine and setting it for a cycle at the equivalent of 104
degrees F.

Damien's note: Part of my personal daily routine is a Buddhist meditation practice that focuses on compassion for all beings, beginning with oneself and then, by stages, extending compassion to all beings in the universe. Even cats.
