Hi All,

This was just reported in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.  A guy who was mad at his
pregnant girlfriend, so he took the kitten she was playing with and threw it
against the wall in a fit of anger.

Every time I see things like this it makes me sick and very concerned for the
victim’s safety.  I take this opportunity to tell you all that there are a lot
of help for victims of domestic abuse out there and you are not alone.  My
advice to the girlfriend is to have NOTHING to do with this guy.  I recommend
that you contact the new Joint Domestic Abuse Center in Ramsey County.  This
anti-social behavior exhibited by your boyfriend is very dangerous.

Here are some resources for you and anyone else experiencing domestic abuse:

What this boyfriend did was an act of anger and is socially unacceptable
behavior.  This behavior also indicates that this guy has some serious
antisocial issues and needs some help.

If there is anyone else suffering domestic abuse out there, please use the
above resources and don’t become another number or story in the paper.  I would
be happy to assist anyone in getting the needed help.  You can email me at:

This guy will not change unless he gets some help.  Please protect yourself and
your baby.  Get away from this guy as fast as possible.  You maybe pregnant,
but there are a lot of resources out there to help.  Please don't be trapped by
this guy just because you are pregnant.  You have many choices and lots of
people out there who care about you and want to help you.

Sincerely,

John Krenik
