So the cats were more important than the life of the Chinese dude he killed?


I love cats, but it seems weird that the killings of the cats seem to be of more importance as far as this documentary goes. The same guy who killed the cats stabbed, dismembered, raped and ate a Chinese student and posted the video online.

And sent the body parts to elementary schools.

And also sent parts to the HQs of both of Canada's leading political parties.

Do you think so? What I saw was people who were worried about the cat killing because animal abuse is an early sign of serial killer behavior. The filmmakers let the story unfold as it did in real life rather than starting with the murder.

I actually have not seen it, but I am familiar with the Magnotta case, of which the cat killings were a minor preliminary part.

When I first heard the title of this documentary I had no idea there was a connection to the Magnotta case. The promos seemed to be simply about a hunt for an animal abuser. I don't think the victim is given much recognition or respect as far as promotion for the doc goes.

That's why it's always best to actually watch something BEFORE you come to any conclusions.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. These people had become involved in the case solely due to the initial cat related video that they had become so invested in, and then they dramatically had to suffer through repeated cat torture and killing videos released one after another over a long period of time.
These are individuals who are animal lovers, they love cats. And so not only had their involvement gotten them emotionally invested, but their particular initial love of cats in particular obviously drove them more passionately into stopping this man.

None of them would ever say that the death of any of the cats was worse than the death of that man. But none of them personally knew that man. They’d never heard of him before then, had never met him, so obviously felt no love towards him. While on the other hand they all love all cats. So it’s just differently applied emotional direction.

We have millions watching the news every evening, hearing about local murders and assaults, and very few actually become emotionally affected by these reports. So it doesn’t seem fair or right for you to hold any likewise criticism and judgement on these cat lovers.
