Did I hear right?

| "Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board." |

Reward to catch sadist who fed kitten to python
|
|
British newspaper The Sun has offered a 3,000-pound reward to catch the culprit who fed a kitten to a python, it said on its website Tuesday.
The cash - on top of 2,000 pounds put up by an animal charity - is for information leading to the conviction of the 'sicko' behind the vile crime, it said.
The Sun showed scenes from an internet video of the python pouncing on a kitten that had been lowered on to the owner's bed in a Santa hat - as the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy played.
Tony Woodley, an inspector at RSPCA, a leading UK animal welfare charity, called it a 'sad and deplorable' act and promised to investigate any evidence. The culprit faces six months in jail and a 20,000-pound fine.
Elisa Allen, of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) - who are offering the 2,000-pound reward - urged Sun readers to help find the 'vicious coward responsible' for the heinous act. |
