Another Perspective On Daniel Collins
Fathers teach their kids all kinds of things.
My husband, for instance, has taught our son the finer points of the xbox 360 and surfing the Internet. He has taught our 2 year old to holler “I hate that freakin’ cat” when my noisy kitty begins to wail without cessation. Now, he doesn’t really hate that freakin’ cat; which is probably why my husband has decided to skip the lesson Danield Collins taught his kids.
Danield Collins apparently decided his kids desperately needed to learn the fine art of killing. Public schools have just made so many cuts to their fine arts programs, you know.
Now, I know what you are thinking: how do you find a volunteer to aid in such a lesson? It seems as though the family cat may have put his paw up a bit too soon.
Police report that Collins first gave his 11-year old son the knife and instructed him to kill Boots the family cat.
The boy, understandably not too hip on this idea, hid the cat and tried to use ketchup to simulate blood.
Apparently, when Collins realized the cat was still alive he “forced the knife into his daughters hand and made her stab the cat”.
A seven year old girl, it would seem, is not very good at stabbing. This may have led to, as police stated, Collins stabbing and strangling the cat himself.
And, perhaps, just to reinforce the lesson this father bestowed upon his offspring: Collins, reportedly, made his son put the cats body in the trash. The children reside with their grandparents. The siblings reported to police that their father was drunk when they were dropped off for a visit at his home.
Collins is charged with one count each of animal cruelty and two counts of neglect of a dependent; he is also facing a count of battery stemming from the injury the 7-year old is said to have suffered when her father “held her hand so hard it ached”.
Should Collins be “drunk daddy of the year” or dodging the flames of hell?

send him to hell before he torments those kids even worse.
Oh, now I’m confused. If the children were dropped off, does that mean the cat was the POS’s cat?
I’m glad this POS is getting his hands slapped a little. Wish I had faith the punishment would even be that harsh. This loser needs to have his parental rights permanently removed. If he could do this to his own cat, what’s he going to do to his kids when he gets even drunker?
I’m having a hard time understanding the logistics. Did the grandparents not notice that said POS was drunk when they dropped the children off?
I notice there’s no mention of the children’s mother. Anyone want to take a guess on the twisty dynamics of these children’s ‘family’?
Sad.

Great. Maybe he can write a book in prison called “How to Home-Grow Your Own Serial Killers”. At least the kids resisted. If he’d managed to get them to the point where they thought it was fun, they’d probably be ruined for life.
I am an adament cat lover and when I heard this story a few days ago I flipped out!! I wish I could meet this piece of shit face to face so I can give him a stabbing lesson… I would sooo go Lorena Bobbitt on his sorry ass… This country needs to make the animal cruelty laws more strict and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law… don’t our dumass politicians know that the first sign of a sociopath is that they hurt small animals?? I vote YES 1,000 for this POS to go to hell, I wish I could send him there myself…
Like LilMissSunshine above me, I too am a devoted cat lover. I care for a local feral cat colony and share my home with 10 adopted felines. I love cats more than I love the majority of adult humans. This piece of trash deserves be tied up naked, have tuna and catnip smeared on his skin and then set in the middle of a feral cat colony. They’re not as gentle as his murder victim was! And then, he should be forced to clean out the litter boxes of everyone in his city for the rest of his life. A timely death is too good for a man like that. And, instead of hell, he deserves reincarnation for the rest of eternity–as a lizard or bug that keeps getting eaten by a cat. (Since that wasn’t an option, I voted “Yes” for hell.)
In addition to cats, I also love children. To force a child to do such a heinous act is a serious form of abuse. I can only imagine what is going through that poor little girl’s mind:( And her brother–he tried so hard to save the cat, only to be forced to dispose of its body. No child should have to go through these things. The therapy for those kids will be long and expensive. I hope they never have to see that vile piece of trash ever again. I hope their grandparents give them a good home and all the love they need to overcome this ordeal. I hope they have many more cats in their lifetime that live happy, contented lives.
SC,
Perfect post. I don’t even think I can add anything to it.
Unfortunately, the courts and prosecuting attorneys do not waste their time with animal cruelty cases very often. They prefer to concentrate on really “evil” offenders instead. My ex-husband killed 6 cats one day while I was gone, and while he was watching our kids. They were (1) my cat, Callie, who only had 1 eye, (2) my oldest boy’s cat, Queenie, (3) my middle boy’s cat, Silverbolt, who only had one eye, (4) my youngest son’s cat, Baby, (5) a sick cat I was caring for, and (6) a kitten we had taken in. He was mad at me and decided “we have too many cats” and decided it was a good time to do something about it – since I was gone and could not stop him. When I came home and found out what had happened while I was gone, I called the cops and had him arrested. David Y’Barbo, Lumberton, Texas. 6 counts of animal cruelty, each carrying a fine of up to $500.00 and up to 2 years in jail. Although he confessed – to EVERYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN and to people who did not want to know – the prosecuting attorney eventually dropped the charges because no one could PROVE that he killed the 6 cats because he would not tell anyone WHERE THE BODIES WERE!!! Does he deserve Hell? I think so. Will Daniel Collins ever see a day in jail or be stopped from further damaging his kids? I doubt it.
I don’t even know what to say to that.
:( I’m so sorry.
