Sentenced: 2 People Arrested After 10 Cats Tortured, Killed In 'Horrible' Animal Cruelty Case

[Sugar Cookie]

A 40-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman have been arrested and charged with torturing and killing 10 cats, Winnipeg police say.

They allege the two posted videos and photos of animal torture content on the dark web, after some of the cats were bought through social media.

The content was viewed by a citizen and turned in to the provincial veterinarian, who sent the content to police in August 2024, police said at a news conference Friday. The animal torture content was posted online between May and August.

That led to an investigation during which a search warrant was executed in the Lord Roberts area of south Winnipeg. The two people were arrested and evidence was seized, police said at a Friday news conference.

Police said they found evidence of animal cruelty in the home, and located 10 cats and a rabbit during their investigation, but no animals found were alive.

The two Winnipeggers who were arrested were known to police. They are in police custody and charged with:

• Killing or injuring animals.
• Causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
• Failing to provide adequate medical attention for an animal when it is wounded or ill.
• Inflicting acute suffering, serious injury or harm upon an animal, or extreme anxiety or distress that significantly impairs its health or well-being.

The names of the two people arrested are Irene LIMA and Chad KABECZ

During a bail hearing for Kabecz on Tuesday, Crown attorney Sean Sass alleged Kabecz and Lima, who is Kabecz's girlfriend and goes by the name "Goddess May" online, were the owners and operators of a website on the dark web called Goddess May Barefoot Premium Crush.

The prosecutor alleged the two made videos of animals, specifically cats and kittens, being crushed by Lima using her feet.

"These are not quick kills. As the time stamps seem to indicate, some of these videos are five minutes long. They're staged, premeditated torturing that result in the death of very vulnerable animals," Sass told provincial court Judge David Ireland at Kabecz's bail hearing.

Crush/torture is some of the most evil shit. I remember being exposed to a video as a "joke" many, many years ago (it is astounding when you realize you know someone who would think that is funny to shock you with such things) and went down a rabbit hole on a site that was raising awareness and trying to petition for harsher legislation.
The fact these people walk amongst us is terrifying. And it is so much more common than you'd ever think! We share this earth with fleshy demons.

Update 12/2/2024: Investigators allege Chad Kabecz and Irene Lima also discussed inflicting harm on a child. Const. Stephen Spencer said, “Investigators also discovered communications where Lima and Kabecz discussed their intention to torture a child. There was also a sexual component to this offence.” Bestiality charges have been added to the duo’s laundry list of animal cruelty charges, and the investigation has expanded internationally. Lima has been charged with additional crimes, including six counts each of killing or injuring animals and causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, four counts of bestiality and single counts of accessing child pornography; making, printing, publishing or possessing child pornography for the purpose of publication; conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and possession of proceeds of crime under $5,000.

Kabecz is charged with additional offences, including four counts of compelling the commission of bestiality, six counts of killing or injuring animals, accessing child pornography and one count of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. He was granted bail last month but was taken back into custody Tuesday. Kabecz appeared briefly in bail court by video Wednesday. Lima remains in custody and her case was adjourned to Dec. 6.

A Winnipeg man and woman who admitted to torturing and killing more than 90 animals for videos they sold online were handed 12 years in prison and banned from ever being near an animal again Wednesday, following a joint sentencing recommendation in a case the judge said went far beyond anything he’s seen in his career.

Lima and Kabecz were arrested in October 2024, following an anonymous tip to Manitoba's provincial veterinarian about a group on the Telegram social media service that shared and sold videos of animals being crushed to death.

The animals involved included more than 60 cats and kittens, seven birds, six rabbits, six hamsters, three goldfish, a frog and an axolotl (a type of salamander). All were crushed to death in videos that were then sold in a group called Goddess May Barefoot Premium Crush, court previously heard.

Both Lima and Kabecz, who sat shackled in separate prisoner’s boxes Wednesday, read letters to court during their sentencing hearing, expressing remorse and shame for the animal cruelty offences they pleaded guilty to.

But court heard neither had an explanation for how or why they ended up doing what they did

Kabecz's lawyer Ethan Pollock said in an interview after court "he's taken full responsibility for his actions," Pollock told court. "Although he can't put his finger on why this happened, nor can I, he's committing to being a better person."

"This is a person who did bad, and is disgusted with herself," Lima's lawyer Mike Cook said during his submissions. "Irene Lima's not really quite sure herself how she got involved in this."

Police said at the time of their arrest that the content Lima and Kabecz created had been posted on the dark web — online content that doesn't show up through regular searches and can only be accessed with a special browser.

Prosecutors previously told court the Telegram group where the videos were sold had a price list for animals that could be killed, ranging from a baby mouse for $5 to animals like kittens for over $100.

Lima would crush the animals under her bare feet, while Kabecz filmed the videos, which prosecutors said often had a sexual component.


Prosecutors said after seizing electronic devices from the couple, police found a "trove" of videos showing the killing of many animals. They also found communications between Lima and Kabecz discussing the videos and plans to escalate their behaviour.

Entries in Lima's diary, which was also seized, described "how much she loved killing things with her feet and the pleasure that it brought to her," prosecutors previously said.

PayPal records showed the videos made a profit of about $2,800 from May to October 2024, court previously heard.
