SINGAPORE – A man who sought companionship from community cats after experiencing problems with his then girlfriend became angry when the cats did not respond to his affection.He researched online for ways to torture cats and decided on stabbing them.In less than a year, Ryan Tan Yi Bin stabbed four cats, slammed one against a wall several times and flung another from the 34th floor of a Housing Board block.On April 10, the 27-year-old man was sentenced to two years and seven months’ jail after pleading guilty to three counts of animal abuse.He will also be disqualified from owning any animals for a period of 12 months upon his release.District Judge Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz said the heavy sentence reflected Tan’s “deplorable, sadistic and serial abuse” of animals.“The sentence imposed reflects the court’s condemnation of the accused’s barbaric acts against defenceless creatures and makes plain that such sadism will be met with stern and uncompromising punishment,” said the judge.Deputy Public Prosecutor Lynda Lee said that Tan, who was then a delivery rider, started having problems with his then girlfriend around August 2024.
