A Dallas woman told police she shot and killed her husband because he was beating the family cat, according to investigators.

Neighbors said they were shocked to hear Mary Harrison, 47, had been charged with murder in the slaying of her 49year-old husband Dexter Harrison Saturday morning.

A man got shot over a cat? Its kind of crazy, neighbor Carl Phillips told KTVT. Its unbelievable. A man loses his life over a cat. I mean, people love their pets, but it aint that serious to die for a cat.

Dallas police were dispatched to the Harrison home in response to a shooting. When officers arrived Mary Harrison reported that she had shot her husband during an argument, as he was beating the family cat, police said.

He went to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police said she went to Dallas Police headquarters where she agreed to be interviewed by homicide detectives.

During the course of the interview, she admitted to her role in the offense and confessed to shooting the victim, police said.

KTVT reported that the Harrisons cat had disappeared recently. She posted signs during the search for the missing cat. The cat eventually returned.

Harrison is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond in the Dallas County Jail.

When they said abusing animals was the first sign of a psychopath, this wasn't what they had in mind.

To be fair shootings are more common than other nations because guns are everywhere but still America isnt that bad crime-wise.

You think America is the only nation with domestic violence because they have guns? 2 couples in the UK are stabbing each other right now as you read this post.

It's only news because of the aspect with the cat. If it weren't for that then this would just be a 2 minute blurb before the weather report.

You seriously might become the only user to make my ignore list.

It's okay to kill your husband because he beat a cat but it's wrong for Zimmerman to not let Trayvon murder him in the street?

What nonsense.

Yeah but can you afford to take that chance when your cat's life might be on the line?

This isn't the hill you want to die on while simultaneously advocating for your right to rape horses.

Killing people walking down the street with skittles and ice tea is wrong. Killing violent psychopaths in the process of harming another living being is not wrong. There's a difference :)

> woman arrested for defending pet against violent maniac

Okay. If you ever have to shoot someone to save your pet, remember to tell the police that said attacker was turning their aggression toward you and that you opened fire after multiple verbal warnings to stop.

She should be pardoned in full.

If she was going to lie she wouldn't openly admit to murder, she'd claim he was threatening her.

Yes, he beat a cat, yes she had to defend the cat, but killing him was downright excessive.

That's the point here.

It's tragic, I hope she gets a lessened sentence.

But no, you can't just end someone's life because of that.

Pure speculation and also not a defense of murder

Trayvon was not going to murder Zimmerman.


Pure speculation and speculation that flies in the face of the facts. That's inconsistent with Trayvon's own words/actions and Zimmerman's acount and injures.

However I know you from other topics and you openly proudly refuse to look up the punlicaly aviable trial while you lie about so I'm not going to respond to any more of your posts on the matter as you are willfully ignorant just because you want to believe a story.

She will probably get manslaughter or something and serve multiple years probation + a year or so in prison.

She can easily say she was scared of him going to beat her after he killed the cat, and chances are if youre beating a 10 lb animal to death you are mentally unstable to begin with.

Yes she shouldnt have killed him, but it also depends where she shot him and how many times. A shot to the leg ot arm, shoulder etc would have been enough to see if it would have got him off the cat. But i dont feel any sympathy for him because fuck people who abuse animals or people.

Cats are family. I know a girl who absolutely loves her cat to the point that if her husband did that, she'd probably kill him too. This cat has been with her most of her life and has a strong, emotional connection to her.

For these people, it is like one family member trying to kill another family member. And pets are family. I agree with the above. Fair, next.

I love animals too but no, I would not murder my wife because she kicked my cat.

That's ridonkulous.

I'm reminded of that Penn Jillette quote "Teller and I would personally kill every chimp in the world with our bare hands to save one streetjunkie with AIDS".

Christ where do you draw that line. Should mothers be allowed to murder their kids because they ripped her pet spiders to shreds?

Get some perspective, murder is wrong. Humans are superior to animals. Even awesome animals like dogs or mediocre animals like cats or snakes.

Fair enough, I agree.

Yeah I also don't have symphathy for the guy, just saying killing him wasn't the best course of action, and that she shouldn't get 100% scot free.

The 1 year in jail you're proposing sounds fair though.

From the get-go, you are underplaying the action of the husband. A kick is a dickish thing to do. If he was outright assaulting the cat to the point the woman claims he was beating it "to death", that's not a mere kick.
