MEDIA ALERT, Aug. 29, 2004 Cat Torturers Featured at Toronto International Film FestivalFREEDOM FOR ANIMALS and the KENSINGTON MARKET STRAY CAT RESCUE to Protest at Screening of "Casuistry: The Art of Killing a Cat"ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUP ASKS PUBLIC TO BOYCOTT THE FESTIVAL UNTIL THE FILM IS REMOVED"Casuistry: The Art of Killing a Cat," will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 14, 2004. The film features the three cat torturers, Jesse Power, Anthony Wennekers, and Matt Kaczorowski, who brutally tortured and murdered a cat on video in 2001. According to a review in the Toronto Sun, the film features the killers' "excuses" for what they did (they were disorganized, the razor was dull, they were on drugs) and apologists defending what they did (as well as a few critics). The director, Zev Asher, said, "I cannot condone or condemn what they did." FREEDOM FOR ANIMALS and the KENSINGTON MARKET STRAY CAT RESCUE will be organizing demonstrations at the Festival to raise awareness of what happened and to counteract the pathetic excuses of the killers. There is no excuse for what happened to the cat we named Kensington. "We have been involved in this case since it became public and have vowed to never forget what happened to Kensington, the cat. We are asking the public to boycott the Toronto International Film Festival until they remove the film," said Suzanne Lahaie, co-founder of Freedom for Animals and the Kensington Market Stray Cat Rescue. A full news release will be issued this week regarding the protests. FREEDOM FOR ANIMALS and the KENSINGTON MARKET STRAY CAT RESCUE Return to the Cat Torture Video Case home page.
