Man in court for not killing catThursday 12 February 2009 A man who refused to drive over a cat and was given a €75 traffic fine for not driving through a green light is to appear in court for not paying the fine, the AD reports. Cees Schuurmans from Schiedam says if he had driven off he would have killed the cat, which was using a zebra crossing. © DutchNews.nl
Good on him ! Dutch police at their best ( again). By kiki | February 12, 2009 1:42 PM Well at least the cat was clever enough to use the Zebra crossing. Unlike the traffic police who have the intelligience of an gnat. Maybe he (the cat) should represent himself in court! By Deep Throat | February 12, 2009 4:06 PM Well trained cat! So if he drove over the cat would he be arrested by order of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals? By tradmad | February 13, 2009 12:56 AM I can't believe that someone would actually expect another to run over an animal because the light turned gree. give me a break. are people in that much of a hurry. stupid idiot cop! By chris | February 15, 2009 9:53 PM WTF? This kind hearted man saved this animals' life and is being persecuted in this way? What the hell is wrong with this world??!! This guy is a hero. He should be left alone and if anything should be admired for his RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS!! ||| www.KindnessNotCruelty.org By sac875 | February 16, 2009 3:18 PM Well if Gandhi's words are true, I guess I know where Holland stands: "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

They should arrest the traffic warden/policeman who gave the gentleman the fine for attempting to kill an animal.
