Three Fucking Dicks In Indiana Killed 2 Cats In Trash Compactor

[Sugar Cookie]

Three men are responsible for killing two stray cats in an unbelievably cruel and inhumane manner. According to the authorities, Travis McKay, John Lipscomb, and Arlin Hochstetler, former Jayco RV Manufacturing employees, put two live cats in a cardboard box, taped the box closed, and placed the box in a trash compactor, where the “unwanted” felines were crushed to death.

A Middlebury Police Department investigation led to the questioning of the three men; one man admitted to cutting off the toe of a cat whose claw got stuck in a cage, another man said “shelters were full” so eliminating the unwanted felines in a trash compactor seemed like a good idea, another said the “nuisance” cats had to be killed in order to prevent them from coming back.

NONE of the men denied their part in killing these living cats in a truly gruesome manner.

The investigation resulted in the three men each being charged with two counts of torturing an animal, a Level 6 felony, on June 9.

In a stunning twist, days later, the charges against all three men were dropped due to a so-called “clerical error.” An ABC News report quotes Elkhart County Prosecutor Vicki Elaine Becker attributing the shocking dismissal to a scrivener’s error found in the Probable Cause Affidavit.

From the news source:

The county prosecutor says that the error attributed a statement to Devon Miller as follows:

“Ptl. Yutzy spoke with Devon Miller, the vice president of operations at Jayco, who indicated the men acted in the company’s best interest by placing the live cats into the trash compactor.”

The alleged statement by VP Miller is now being refuted. Now, the prosecutor says there is “no evidence documented in the police investigation to suggest that Mr. Miller endorsed, or approved of, the decisions or the behaviors of the three employees.”

Regardless of the Vice President’s statement, these three men did NOT deny boxing up unwanted cats and killing them in an unimaginable way. These men MUST be held accountable. If you agree that Travis McKay, John Lipscomb, and Arlin Hochstetler need to be charged, please add your name to the petition and help Animal Victory urge the prosecutor to refile the charges.

Indiana gives hugs for killing kids so I doubt animals matter much to the state,

Updated 6/25/2025: We are deeply disappointed in a news release from Prosecutor Vicki Becker. We are appalled by Prosecutor Becker’s statement, indicating that no criminal charges are warranted because the cats “were destroyed in a manner that did not prolong suffering beyond that which is permitted by law.” Her news release states specifically, “These efforts were not successful, and the individuals responsible for resolving the matter made the choice to destroy the cats using a compactor that caused death within a few seconds of the physical injury that was inflicted. Each of the individuals, as well as the business that employed them, were cooperative and honest during the investigation. There was no evidence documented that suggested that any of the three individuals engaged in the behavior with the intent to cause suffering or prolonged physical pain to the cats involved.” Prosecutor Becker states that the individuals were within their rights to crush the live cats because they were, “feral cats that had not only damaged a ceiling structure of the business property where they were captured, but also an item with established and documented value to the business.” ​

Arlin has children I hope they are ashamed of him.

Do those freedoms include torturing cats to death?
