Man stuffed cat in marijuana bong 'to calm it down'

[joelongo]

A man who stuffed his girlfriend's cat into a makeshift marijuana pipe has said that he had done it on other occasions and that it calmed the cat down.

Area Schomaker of Lincoln said he never intended to hurt the 6-month-old cat, Shadow.

Sheriff's deputies responding to a domestic disturbance at the residence fined the 20-year-old Schomaker on suspicion of misdemeanour animal cruelty on Sunday after catching him smoking marijuana from a boxlike contraption that had the cat stuffed inside its 12-inch by 6-inch base.

Schomaker's girlfriend, Marissa Vieux, also was fined for animal cruelty because she didn't try to stop Schomaker, Sgt Andy Stebbing said.

Vieux, 22, said she took in the cat about two months ago from friends who abused it.

Schomaker said the cat would bite and scratch them but he did nt want to discipline it by swatting or squirting water at it. He said they did not bring it to an animal shelter because they feared it would be put down.

So Schomaker said he decided to use the makeshift pipe because he had heard about people calming their pets by blowing marijuana smoke in their faces.

"I know for sure this isn't the first time someone has done this," he said. "I'm just the first one to get caught."

He said he put the cat in the bong a total of three times and it seemed to calm the cat.

"Every time we took her out she would pretty much just lay down and proceed to clean herself and act like a stoned person," Schomaker said.

The bong had a foot-long piece of garden hose coming out of a Plexiglas box, with the top secured with duct tape. Schomaker said the pipe was constructed in such a way that the cat did not get immersed in smoke to the extent some might believe.

Schomaker said law enforcement and animal specialists lectured him about why what he did was cruel, and that he learned from his mistake.

How disgusting...........these folks need a swift beating.

Simply could've just shotgunned smoke to the cat; if it runs away, it doesn't want it. If it stays in the cloud of smoke, you got a stoner cat.

Stories like these will only give a negative rep to the stoner community; it's a real shame.
:stoned:

Hes not the first guy to get busted for smoking up a cat, 10 or so years ago here a high school kid accidently killed his sisters cat. Put in a box, he and his buddies put in who knows how many bong rips, forgot about the cat. 2 hours later, it was aphyxiated. Stories like those are so sad, how stupid can people be?! Its friggin sick.

BTW the kid did get charged and punished!

That's fucking sick, I smoke my cat up all the time but I hotbox my bedroom, and blow hits on her, not shove her in a box. She apparently enjoys it though, she just kicks back and basks. Now if you'll excuse me my bong is calling :thumbsup:
