Armed ex-soldier allegedly storms animal shelter to get cat back

An ex-Australian soldier in full tactical gear allegedly burst into an animal shelter with an assault rifle and tied up a worker in a failed bid to get his kitty back, according to a report Wednesday.

Tony Wittmann, 44, was allegedly so mad when workers at the Lost Dogs’ Home in Melbourne told him he needed to wait a day to pick up the pet, he’s accused of threatening a 23-year-old female worker with the gun in the facility’s parking lot, according to ABC Australia.

He allegedly ordered the frightened gal to direct him toward the cats, then demanded that she get on her knees and tied her up with zip-ties.

Um… I thought Australia had a buyback and got rid of all the assault rifles.

Also, it looks like Australia will be banning zip-ties in the near future.

Last, all that for a cat?  A dog I understand, but a cat?  Clearly he’s crazy.
