A Grisly Example of Man's Inhumanity?

First: a warning. These images graphically depict a cruel and bloody act and should not be viewed if you are squeamish or sensitive to such images or a big cat lover.

Our story begins on a pretty Thursday in Union Square Park, New York (where bizarre happenings of one sort or another can always be counted on). A crowd forms around what appears to be an art object--perhaps an art object of ice--on the ground. I go to check it out. What we have is an animal--probably a cat--that has been eviscerated and frozen in a block of ice. At first I walk away in horror, but then, drawn back by my deep love of Citynoise, I return and snap some photos.

According to witnesses, a guy showed up in the park with a cardboard box, dumped the cat-on-ice onto the pavement, and ran off.

You've been warned.
