Cat Abuser caught!


"YouTube viewers were shocked on the February 15 when an American teenager posted a video of violent cat abuse. The video depicts a 14-year-old teenager, identified as “Timmy”, picking up the cat in what he called his ‘laboratory' and slammed it against the wall and the floor before striking it with his fists. The attack lasted for longer than a minute."

Police in Lawton, Oklahoma, have arrested two youths in relation to the animal abuse after receiving information from members of the public and the animal rights group Peta. Officers are now preparing a case against the teenagers.

ETA: Dusty, the cat, is alive - and she is staying at the Vet until the police finish their investigations.



I seriously feel sick right now...

Please add that the cat is alive. He was taken to the vet and will stay there until everything's resolved.

I heard 4chan was instrumental in tracking down this worthless taint-smear. Good to see them siccing someone who's actually dangerous for a change. (As opposed to, say, some random 16 year old furry.)

I don't want to hear that the cat is alive. I want to hear that the cat is at, like, Kitty Disney World and has acquired superpowers and just ate her weight in ice cream while sitting on a bed of roses. I can't stop hearing those plaintive little cries from that clip at the end. And now my dog, who probably was abused herself at her old home, is all worried because I'm upset and wants to slap me all better with her big old paws.

And I absolutely love the tortie in the background of picture at the first link. That's one good reason to be nice to kitties right there, if they can set Anonymous on you.

I, for one, am grateful that this dumbass was stupid enough to post a video on YouTube... because once something gets on the internet, it cannot be secret for long.

I note that PETA was also involved. I'm glad they're doing something useful instead of mind-bogglingly stupid, for once.

I can't even bring myself to watch the video. Shit. I had to cuddle my adoptive, found in an abandoned apartment building, not even a year old cat.

Reminds me of this video where two kids used a pair of scissors to *decapitate* a birdie some years ago. Also cringeworthy and nightmare fuel.

Kitty, kitty, kitty. I don't have cats, but holy crap I love kittunz. T-T

At least there are some upsides; 1. there are a lot of complete strangers disgusted enough by this to track down the abuser and make a police report, and 2. a possible sociopath with the potential for escalation has been caught before he killed anything.

There's an update here:

http://www.kswo.com/Global/story.asp?S=9859463

They also rescued another kitty. That's the local tv station and they say they'll continue to update how the kitties are doing.

I can't watch that video. I just can't.

Poor kitty. *runs off to hug her own kitties*

I'm extremely glad they found him and took him in, if nothing more.

I hope that there weren't more before he decided to film himself doing it.

Another reason to be glad this kid was caught: animal abuse is quite often a warning sign of deeper antisocial tendencies.

Dusty, at least your suffering exposed an unbalanced kid! You deserve all the kitty treats and catnip mice ever.

I can't even watch that video. No way. I own two kitties and I would quite happily kill anyone who hurt them. Kudos to the internet community coming together to catch the little monsters!

Looks like the rescue count is up to three. Two cats taken from the home of the shitheels, and a third from one of their friends after it was abused in another video. The confiscated kitty cats will be rehomed immediately.

Masses of skeezy Craiglist hookers, hearses and pizzas are being sent to the home of the family involved. Also taxis, religious material and death threats.

In summary: cats are good.

I can't watch the video. I can't. Especially since we have a cat named Dusty that looks just like that. I'd hug him but he's a mostly outside cat so he probably won't be in.

I'll have to settle for his brother who... Looks just like him but bigger. So I guess it counts.
