Some psycho killed a cat in UP.
Let me correct that statement, psychopaths supposedly don’t know the difference between right or wrong. His blog post of the event (now made private but is thankfully saved in its original form here) shows that he does know the difference between right and wrong.
The murderer is identified as Joseph Carlo Candare, also known as JC. He is studying for a degree in BS Applied Physics at UP Diliman. Some people actually vouch for his “niceness”, but the truth is that he has a very dark side to his nature. In his own words, he describes the process of his crime:
I pulled it on its tail and threw it. Then like some pro wrestler I jumped on it and my feet landed on it’s torso. Slam! Felt good! But the cat didn’t die, well not yet. It ran for it’s life and just as I was about to catch up on it somebody yelled: “Pwede bang pabayaan mo yung pusa?!”
Won’t you leave the cat alone!
The bravado of his post just sickens me. I won’t be posting anymore flak about his crime. Googling his name would show that the Internet is currently abuzz about him. He is now facing murder, bomb, kidnap, and gay rape threats among others. As for me, I just hope disciplinary action would deal justice on him. Here’s his half-cooked apology that still sounds, hmmm, arogant?:
So there you go I’m sorry. And I wont be striking another one for maybe about a month. It feels good when your beating it(a cat) up but you suddenly feel something strange when it turns off permanently. That’s how I feel right now. And maybe for the next days. Dang, am I a cat serial killer?
Apparently, this boy has some deep psychiatric issues. He seems to be budding a serial killer tendency. He has an urge, a sick urge, that could only be satisfied by cat murder. Heck! This guy is dangerous. Better lock him up fast, and rehabilitate him.
PS I’m sure the cat is now at peace, but as to his safety and reputation — he’ll have Hell to face with in the following days.

first of all, this is not my email add. i just picked it out among the many choices displayed here..
so here’s my point directed to you!
i know the guy, and as much as i know. he is a mathematical genius and physics prodigy.
i mean, compared to other over-reacting people.
he may be even be as important as Einstein or someone of the like!
well, no offense dude.
just don’t over react.
i kill rats. does that also make me a possible psychopath killer?
people don’t even take care of stray cats?
if a cat gets run over by a truck, no one cares anyway.
if the truck driver deliberately squashes a cat, no one investigates. gezzz..
i just really wish some people could really not over-react.
i’m just another UP student expressing my freedom of speech.
April 19th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I’m not questioning his intellect. I don’t care even if he’s Newton or Einstein. I think this guy needs help, and fast! Killing of animals to satisfy an urge is one indicator of serial killing in the future.
Problem was, that cat was no “ordinary” stray. Heck! It could be the cat I once petted near NIP. If the cat he killed is male, white, and has blue eyes; then this gets personal…
If not, then he still has other people who have come to care about the cat to contend with…

@perfectly sane person
Please don’t compare this murderer to an apathetic truck driver. And don’t even get me started with the whole “killing rats makes things even” subject.
Candare had brutal, prejudicial, and hateful intent to kill any cat he came across. He enjoyed it. He found ways to beat them up with pleasure, and surely he found much needed recreation from all of it. Your truck driver? Just runs over a cat coz he’s standing or lying on the road. Deed is done. No hate, no killer mindset, just moving along. In short, he just doesn’t give a shit and didn’t go out of his way to kill anything weaker than himself. Rats are pests filled with bacteria and rabies. Nuff said.
Yet another UP student expressing my freedom of speech. Let me toss in my opinion as well.
You’re not sane at all.
April 20th, 2009 at 4:02 am
@ perfectly sane person:
Geeze?
Geeze. Your post should be google-able too. Goes to show what math geniuses like you intelligently retort to situations like this. I’d give a hand to 18-yr old JC Candare for having the guts to put his real name. Where as you.. you.. another UP student–supposedly one of the more courageous ones who know of proper use of this freedom of speech that you faithfully invoke–you are much more disappointing. Seeing that you actually tolerate this kind of behavior and defend it?
JC Candare puts a bad face to your college.
You put a bad name to the entire university.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:03 am
as important as einstein… boy, are you a fuckin fag? we don’t care. I may be more of a genius than he is. The thing here is that he has no sympathy to cats. Dang if he is thinking hard, cats are not pests… I believe he have some issues. He needs to be jailed and stop covering him up. we are not over-reacting here. I will not be surprised if he will kill you next.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:21 am
I know JC Candare personally.
As in nakasama ko siya maglunch buong sem, YM buddy, tabble tennis, mmultiply, blockmate, blah blah. He’s a friendly, nice, fun, outgoing guy to be with.
Surely he didn’t know what he was doing. Kailangan lang siyang kausapin ng maayos, at sabihin sa kanya how grave yung ginawa niya.
April 20th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I’m sorry to bring this up, Mithi, but judging from his post JC did know what he was doing.
He just couldn’t stop himself from acting out his strange desire. And judging from the hate he has earned in the blogsphere, he does know that what he did was very grave. Being his friend, you should convince him to seek professional help.
April 20th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
i dont know jc but i do know kirby and tracy (sorry not related
)
but what i do wish is that people would ease up on spreading his name. what’s probably gonna happen next is that he’d receive punishment by law and maybe undergo therapy. so after that, what’s next? because of this issue (or rather, his identity) being blown up out of proportion, there’s less of a chance for him to be accepted in society once he is ready. and what more, his family is also affected, which is unfair.
condemn violence, yes. but this is getting too out of hand.
April 20th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
i think jc candare was so brutal… in some ways he is compared to a human slayer because it is stated in his statements that he laugh during the crime and he did even had the guts to post it in his blog.. if i we’re his friend, i should have been killed him before brutally.. damn u jc..
April 20th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
People!
Ewan ko lang kung magandang alternative to, pero kung love no love niyo talaga ang pusa, at dahil mas magandang magkaroon ng public awareness sa anti-cat killing, ipalibing niyo yung pusa… sa Semeteryo ng tao… or pagawa kayo ng monumento malapit sa site of death niya.
At least, pinapatama (or rather dama) kung gano kabigat yung nagawa niya, na maaaring precursor yun ng violent personality, kesa nagpopost tayo ng “dead or alive” posters na akala mo ay may intensyon ngang pumatay…
Kung gusto niyo, iburol niyo yung pusa sa Arlington…
Or the ever more realistic professional help… Dr. Phil would be much better
April 20th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
JC if you’re reading this: kawawa naman yung kuting, karmahin ka sana. well, im sure mamalasin ka sa buong buhay mo dahil sa ginawa mo.
April 20th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
hey this came out on the news tonite. twice (primetime & late night). at GMA7
April 20th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
points to emphasize while formulating opionions on this one:
what’s a more valid basis?
1) a blog post?
2) someone’s whole life experience?
what’s the commensurate punishment?
1) tooth for a tooth?
2) a corrective punishment
not defending candare. not promoting animal hatred.
just being a sensible thinker.
April 21st, 2009 at 3:56 am
I hope PETA hears about this. I wonder what they’re going to say.
April 21st, 2009 at 3:57 am
a perfectly sane person:
I’m a UP student, and a cat lover. And it’s completely unacceptable for another UP student to kill a helpless animal. Candare may have a high IQ, but his EQ is way below the dumps.
Why won’t he channel his anger to something else? I’ve been picking up and adopting stray kittens in UP in my four years there, and some angry student just kills them? How apathetic!

“first of all, this is not my email add. i just picked it out among the many choices displayed here..”
>>scared that you might be the next on the spotlight? well its useless.
“i know the guy, and as much as i know. he is a mathematical genius and physics prodigy. i mean, compared to other over-reacting people. he may be even be as important as Einstein or someone of the like!”
>> who cares? does it give him the exemption from doing whats wrong? He may be a mathematical genius but that doesn’t make him a God to just do that to any living thing he didn’t create.
“well, no offense dude.just don’t over react.
i kill rats. does that also make me a possible psychopath killer?
people don’t even take care of stray cats?
if a cat gets run over by a truck, no one cares anyway.

>> yes you’re a psychopath too. if you kill rats just like him for the sole purpose of pleasure. how coincidental that you two came from the same school, shame on you two. an accident is a lot different from intentional killing. i think there’s no need to elaborate. but if you didn’t get that, shame on you. shame on who brought you up.
“i’m just another UP student expressing my freedom of speech.”
>> i think its better this way: You’re just another JC Candare.

Stop the hate guys.
The law is the law, and punishment for animal cruelty should be carried out to show that the law DOES work around here despite what most of us would think.
Joseph Candare may be a gifted math and physics student, but this does not excuse him from the law.
It’s true that hardly anyone does anything when a cat, dog or other hapless animal gets run-over by unscrupulous motorists, and we ourselves are prone to the occasional animal murder–whether it be pests like mosquitoes, flies, ants, rats or whatever. Those are still animals regardless of their specie or size.
Animal torture however, is a completely different matter. Whatever drove JC Candare to brutalize that helpless cat, we cannot let our outrage get the better of us and make us overly judgemental. I am a U.P. Diliman alumnus myself, and we have the responsibility to be of sensible minds. Allowing ourselves to get carried away will make us no better than him.
Stop the mud slinging here and lets just support the law and hope that it will be carried out, and that JC Candare will be held accountable for his actions.
May 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
I really hope that justice be served on this guy.. You don’t kill an animal for sadistic purpose. Mathematical genius or not, he doesn’t have a right to do such. If he is such a genius he should have thought of it hard enough before killing a freakin cat for no obvious reason

“i know the guy, and as much as i know. he is a mathematical genius and physics prodigy.”
“he may be even be as important as Einstein or someone of the like!” (according to JC’s friend)
>>Totally irrelevant, weak, and cheap premise indeed. I feel ashamed and sorry for you both. I’m also just another UP student expressing my freedom of speech.
May 3rd, 2009 at 1:48 am
“i kill rats. does that also make me a possible psychopath killer?” (according to JC’s friend)
>>Let me answer that one for you darling. Of course not! Silly, you’re normally labeled as ” Household Termite Pest Killer, Baygon Cockroach Killer or Dora Rat Killer.” And so you don’t need a psychiatric help after all.

oist tanga
kung kasing laki tayo ng pusa, papatayin tayo nyan kung kaya nya. nakalimutan mo ba, ha, na pusa rin ang leon? kung nakakita ka ng pusa sa probinsya, yung kumakain ng mga manok, makikita mo na killer rin sila, nagkataon lang na mas malaki tayo sa kanila. pati aso. ilan na ang binabalitang mga bata na pinatay ng aso?
kung nakakain na kayo ng burger na naisip nyo, “ang sarap nito”, wag nyong sabihin na nde kayo naka derive ng pleasure sa pagpatay ng hayop. kse dahil kumakain kayo ng hayop kaya kinakatay ang milyon milyong baboy at baka. kung nde kayo nagagandahan sa sapatos nyo na balat, wag nyong sabihin na nde kayo nakakakuha ng pleasure sa pagkamatay ng hayop. mga hipokrito kayo. hoy mg cat lover, mas importante ang pusa sa iyo kesa sa future ng isang tao? bakit, kung nde sila cute, kung mukha silang daga, ganyan pa rin ba kayo ka-galit? oi, ilang beses ka na ba nag uwi ng isang taong kalye para kupkupin at pakainin ng isang araw man lang? mas may malasakit pa kayo sa hayop kesa sa tao. i-blog nyo ang nakita nyong pulubi sa kalsada at sabihin nyo kung anong kabutihan ang pinakita nyo sa kanila.
si hitler, animal lover. typical na animal lover, mas mahal ang mga hayop kesa sa tao. tulad ng mga ugali nyo, hypokrito, feeling righteous. kala kung sino.

I just found out about this horrible incident. This just proves just because you are book smart does not mean you possess intelligence. He should be publicly shamed during his entire stay in U.P.
That was cruelty. What he did was inexcusible. I used to be a U.P. student too and we had cats (UPcat and baby-UPcat) and we never treated them any different. His act, served no purpose but to satisfy his own ignorance and stupidity.
And no, he isn’t a genuis. Anyone with an intelligence quotient higher than zero would not have done that.
And as one of the posts mentioned, an eye for an eye may not be the answer, but in real life there are consequences to stupid choices.

i don’t know.. that issue sucks! it’s already over
September 25th, 2009 at 3:38 am
many criminals started out as animal abusers and thats proven by studies. killing a cat by accident and killing a cat just for pleasure are two entirely different things. to kill a cat para ma-satisfy ka? omg thats so pathetic and inhumane. yes, mga tao ang highest form ng animals, but you still belong to the class. if cats can talk, will that make a difference? dont even try to defend this jc person just because you dont care for animals. you know what he did is wrong and covering him up will not change the fact that he will seriously become a criminal in the future. he even has the guts to post it on his blog. wow. thats some criminal shit. and as for those saying na mas importante ang rights ng tao kaysa animals, let me tell you. how can you expect a person to respect the rights you possess if he cant even respect the rights of animals?
go to hell jc thats where you belong

HOW ABOUT ME RUNNING YOU OVER AND YOUR PSYCHO FRIEND WITH MY SUV?HUH?

I DON’T CARE IF HE’S EINSTEIN SMART.
HE DOESN’T HAVE A HEART.
AND NEITHER DO I WHEN IT COME TO STUPID CREATURES LIKE YOU.
HOPE THAT IN YOUR NEXT LIVES, YOU’LL BE CHAINED TO THE BOTTOM OF A VAST REEKING LITTER BOX AND EVERY HOUR AN ADORABLE GIANT KITTEN COMES IN AND POOPS ON YOU TWO. AND THAT GOES ON FOREVER FOR ALL ETERNITY AND UNTIL THE UNDERWORLD FREEZES.

I SWEAR I’LL HUNT THAT JaCkass CANDARE DOWN AND I’LL BURY HIM SOOO DEEP INTO THE GROUND UNTIL THE HEAT OF THE EARTH INCINERATES IN HIS SORRY ASS.
SUCK ON THAT.

simula nung mamatay yung aso namin, lagi nang may nakakasok na pusa sa likod ng bahay namin (open kasi) paanog di ka maiinis sa mga pusa kung:
-pumasok sila sa likod ng bahay nmin at kinuha ung naiwang pagkain sa mesa
-nung nakawala yung love bird namin, nalaman ko na lang sumunod na araw kinain ng pusa ung ibon namin
-ang kaawa awang ibon na bagong panganak na nasa nakatagong pugad ay wlang awang kinain ng pusang iyun
Ngayon dapat pa ba akong maawa sa mga pusa o dapat silang puksain na parang mga peste??!!
