Did the parents not notice they had two cats cowering in fear? The Sheriffs should do a sweep of the home and remove ALL animals :cry:

Teens face two charges of animal cruelty after posting cat abuse on YouTube

Posted: Feb 17, 2009 12:38 PM

Lawton_Two Lawton area teens accused of beating a cat and posting it on YouTube over the weekend will be going through the juvenile justice process in Oklahoma. The 14 and 16-year-old brothers each face two charges of animal cruelty after law enforcement was directed to two videos on Sunday that showed the beating and torture of the grey cat named Dusty, and each video carries separate charges.

7News phone lines and emails have been busy with questions about what will happen to the boys. Even more are requesting information about Dusty the Cat. The cat is okay and in the care of a veterinarian.

During their investigation, the Comanche County Sheriff's Department discovered a third abuse video that shows the beating of a black and white cat - also at a teens' home. The sheriff's department rescued that cat today.

The videos uploaded to YouTube show two separate incidents of animal abuse involving the same cat, and the teens face separate charges for each video. "We filed two counts of animal cruelty on each of the two teenagers today," said Comanche County District Attorney Robert Schulte. "They will be referred to the juvenile court system. We'll expect them to make their appearance early this week before the juvenile judge."

------------------------------

The courts have ensured that the pets will not be abused again. Dusty was removed from the home on Sunday, and the second cat was removed Tuesday. "They have been treated by local veterinarians, they are doing well," said Schulte. "They will not go back into the home, and they are expected to be adopted out into a good home in the next few days."

Comanche County Sheriff Kenny Stradley says that once the vet treats Dusty and the other cat, 7News will be able to visit them. You can count on us to have much happier footage of Dusty and the other cat later this week.

1. the parents didn't bring them up very well

the parents should be held accountable too

[MajorChode]

30. How do you know these things?

Believe it or not, some kids manage to figure out how to fuck up all on their own. I know it's a strange concept, but it does happen.

[tularetom]

2. Words cannot describe what I think should be done to these miserable pieces of shit

It's acts like this that have changed my opposition to the death penalty.

[Skip Intro]

5. Hell yes. What you said. Exactly.

:thumbsup:

[Common Sense Party]

23. Acts like this against humans didn't do it for you?

I find this animal abuse heinous, disgusting and evil. I find similar abuse of humans equally repellent, and deserving of capital punishment.

[navarth]

3. Infuriating

Keep me away from these teenagers. Do not let me near them. I will seriously hurt them.

Inexcusable.

Perverted.

Sick little fucks.

Thank goodness they were stupid enough to bring attention to their abominations.

Yeah, I'm a cat lover. Anybody want to flame me? Bring it on.

[AndrewP]

12. I'm not going to flame you. I'm going to help you.

:fistbump:

[Butch350]

33. I got your back...

Those boys have got some serious issues. They don't need Psychologists - they need Psychiatry
help, because they're gonna need some drugs!

[leftynyc]

35. Flame you?

I'll hold them down while you kick their ass. Fellow cat lover here.

[hamsterjill]

38. Count me in!

I was thinking that it would be nice if someone bailed them out...

Seriously, I hope these little asswipes are punished. Most animal cruelty cases get nothing more than a slap on the wrist. THAT needs to change!

[Lavender Brown]

4. Ugh

:grr: How do people become so cruel? Where does it come from?

[Liberal_in_LA]

6. I'm wondering what's been going on in that home to create two monsters

[ogneopasno]

7. I think there's more being abused than cats in that house.

[Liberal_in_LA]

9. me too.

[4lbs]

8. Don't people in those parts believe heavily in the Bible and "eye for eye" punishment?

If so, well then I know what the kids' punishment should be....

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. To be slammed around in the shower, then cold water run on them?

[4lbs]

14. For starters.

n/t

[Muttocracy]

10. if this doesn't nip it in the bud, they'll be going after kids or women or the elderly in a few yrs.

[Triana]

26. youbetcha. It's virtually guaranteed that these boys will be abusing

wives/girlfriends, their pets and their children in the not-too-distant future.

However, none of this is considered particularly egregarious by society or the law. Slap on the wrist and an "anger management program" - and they'll be back at it in no time - until they kill someone/something.

And yes, where the HELL are the parents and why are they held harmless and not responsible for the actions of their minor children?

[MrSlayer]

13. Just let me have them for 5 minutes.

Fucking scumbags. I hate animal abusers.

[navarth]

17. I'm with you.

If I got my hands on those little bastards, they'd be in for the longest hour of their miserable little lives.

Goddam it I'm still pissed off hearing about this.

[flvegan]

15. What will happen to the boys? Alas, not enough.

Sadly.

[Critters2]

18. Indeed. nt

[J-Lo Biafra]

16. The good news is that Dusty and the other cats will find loving homes.

Cruelty cases really piss me off. :grr:

[alphafemale]

19. The worst thing for me was how Dusty seemed to be so resigned, cowering and hopeless.

I hope that beautiful furbaby can learn that humans are capable of compassion and kindness as well as casual cruelty.

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. I adopted a cat that cowered from abuse. She slowly regained her confidence...over about

3 months. And when I got her she was cowering on the ground, not walking just like Dusty. Now she's pretty much normal.

[alphafemale]

27. Hug to You.

:hug:

Thank you for giving an animal hope and love

[ZombieHorde]

20. Some people boil animals alive, such as lobsters and clams.

Bizarre behavior.

[flvegan]

28. Humans have deemed those to be food, so that's "different".

Or something.

No wait, it's because they taste good. Right. That's why it's okay. Sorry, lost my bearings for a minute.

[MajorChode]

31. Especially considering how tasty they are

[chatnoir]

22. How did they miss the 2nd cat in the home??

Unless they just did not remove him along with poor Dusty?? If hell exists there's a special place for animal and child abusers. :mad:

[Triana]

24. Those boys = Republicans in the making...

..ie: psychopaths.

[artemisia1]

25. These are the same type of sociopaths that...

These are the same type of sociopaths that attack homeless people. Thank goodness they've come to the attention of Law Enforcement.

[cliffordu]

29. I hope a cat lover spends some quality time with these two little shits.

LIke these nice fellas.

[MattBaggins]

36. Seriously, what's a cat lover going to do to them?

Hiss at em? Piss on their pillows?

[cliffordu]

39. Fix it so they never want to torture another animal as long as they lived.

Give them a permanent limp.

A Wheelchair.

Something like that.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

32. There is no form of human life lower

than people who deliberately neglect or abuse children or animals. None. Not even Cheney or the Chimp.

I adopted a cat that had been neglected - left outside 12 months a year for years. In MINNESOTA. The poor little guy lost his entire left ear and half of his right ear to frostbite. He's still a scaredy-kitty with visitors, but within a few months he got his cattitude back in dealing with me and has no problems ordering me around, sitting in my lap and purring like a small-block Chevy or generally being a happy and very cherished cat. I love him to no end, he knows it and takes shameless advantage of it. I know that he genuinely loves me, too. Animals that have been neglected or abused KNOW when they are truly cared for. I hope Dusty and the other cat find someone like my guy Max did.

Added: I definitely do NOT think I would care to incur the doubtlessly vast wrath of those VERY large fellows at rescueink. Those are some damned good guys doing invaluable work. These little turds should be turned over to those fellas. They'd shit their pants and cry like little girls given one look at those dudes.

[leftynyc]

34. One of my cats growing up

was a gray cat named Dusty. These future serial killers should be tried as adults. Let's see how tough they are in an adult prison.
