For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

It's a cover up! They are doing their best to hide the results of their zombie research program!

But we here at rogue tech industries have the federal zombie research contract so we would... er, never mind. Say, wasn't it a gorgeous day today

Apparently the Tampa Humane Society is refusing to return the cat to its owner, Ellis Hutson and declaring that they're "prepared to fight for the best interests of this cat." They are citing concerns about "home environment and the circumstances leading up to his burial" after a 40 minute meeting with Hutson. Official note they there is no reason not believe the story about what happened to Bart (the aforementioned Zombie Cat) as told by Hutson, who apparently was arrested in 1998 for cruelty to animals although the charges were later thrown out.

I'm mystified as to their reasoning. His condition was consistent with having been hit by a car and buried, he admittedly suffered injuries which would have looked fatal on a nonresponsive animal, he seems to have been healthy prior to the injury, and he seems to have a high level of trust in humans which would be inconsistent with cruelty from his owner.

According to the articles questions arose during the 40 minute meeting they had with the owner. They have not been clear as to what exactly they were.

"Why, mister owner, when you ran over your cat for the first time, did you back up and try it again?"

The middle linked article has a youtube video in it supposedly from the humane society, but the cat in the video is named "markie" not "bart"

some weirdness is going on here.
