Shownotes Transcript

On an otherwise tranquil morning in May of 2012, Canada was rocked by an unthinkable crime committed by a depraved, cannibalistic, necrophiliac, 29-year-old porn star named Luka Magnotta. Luka ruthlessly murdered an innocent man, named Jun Lin, before dismembering his body and mailing his remains to various elementary schools and a political center in Canada. Armed with an ice-pick, Luka committed this heinous act as the coup de grâce to a series of violent acts committed online, in which he had the sickening audacity to harm innocent animals. This is the case of the man at the center of the Netflix documentary “Don’t F*ck With Cats,” a man who was at the center of an international manhunt after he made the callous choice to kill for clicks.  TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is graphic in nature and discusses matters relating to domestic violence and animal abuse. Please listen with caution.
