Purrs for a Houston Kitty - Abuse Warning

There was a news story on TV here the past couple of nights about a boy who
sicced his dog on a neighbor's cat and videotaped the dog savaging the cat
to death. He spent all of about 10 minutes in jail and just said,
sarcastically, "Well what do you expect from a teenager?"

The poor cat was so tame and trusting that he didn't even try to run away
from the dog!

People have been up in arms about the almost non-existent jail time or any
other consequences for this monster, rightly thinking that this is a serial
killer in the making! So far the public outcry hasn't done a thing to bring
about justice for this poor kitty and his devastated family.

Hugs,

I got some of the info wrong (it was a stray cat that he and another teen
had tied up). Here's the whole, correct story (warning, the video is very
disturbing).

I would encourage all of you to write or call the Angleton District
Attorney's office to urge them to prosecute this monster to the fullest
extent of the law:

Brazoria County of: District Attorney
315 Courthouse # A
Angleton, TX 77515
(979) 864-1230

Purrs for the poor cat and his family. I can't think of anything bad
enough for the little *******. I'm so sick of hearing crap like this.

I hope nobody takes it out on the d*g. I am as sad as I can be about
the cat and as angry at the alleged human being as can be but the d*g
was doing what his man told him. He wouldl probaby thrown himself at a
bear on the same command. It is too bad that this scum is not worthy
of the devotion of a noble animal.

I haven't watched the video, but many purrs and prayers for the poor
kitty. To my mind, that boy should be locked up and given some serious
lessons on the sanctity of treating all living things with respect.

Words can't describe my contempt for the pond-scum. Sorry, that's an
insult to pond scum. I meant to say the feces of pond scum.

Karma will seek its revenge.

Purr on the way Lori. Is there a petition to sign to let the judges and
elected officals know what their constitutates feel about animal abuse? I
think that is something that helped in the case here in Atlanta. Although
the trial ended in a hung jury the DA was willing to retry the case. A lot
of publicity was given to th petition and the fact that people were watching
this trial. The boys in our trial have plead guilty before the second trial
began. Sentencing begins on February 9th with a maximum punishment of 90
years. We'll see if the plead down or not.

As proven by the teen's quote: "He said he got some type of rush," said Sgt.
Coleman. "He had really never seen two animals fight and one animal kill
another animal."

Obviously if he gets a "rush" out of seeing an animal killed the next step
will be killing one himself, then on to torturing and killing people. This
kid is absolutely devoid of conscience. It's just sick.

I'm going to write to the DA's office. Does the office have an email
address? I don't have any stamps and I'm sort of snowed in here.

Okay, I'm prepared to be flamed for my opinion on this. If the dog had not
been trained to attack it may have done nothing more than walked over and
sniffed the cat or growled at the cat. This one had obviously been trained
to be aggressive (and in fact, pits have been specifically bred to be
aggressive for "pit fighting" for a couple of hundred years). So while
*technically* it is the fault of the owner for reinforcing that tendency and
issuing the attack command, there is nothing to say that dog won't cut loose
all by itself one day and attack other animals or a child without being
ordered to do so.

I do not think pit bulls should be allowed as "pets". There are too many
documented instances of even the most mild mannered pits suddenly losing it.
I caught an episode on Judge Joe Brown yesterday in which a woman's dog had
it's belly mauled to the point where its intestines were hanging out by a
"sweet" pit bull whose owner had (stupidly) let off its leash in a public
park. The pit bull's owner kept saying it wasn't fair that her dog had been
euthanized. The judge had no sympathy for that; it nearly killed the other
dog (which was on a leash) without the slightest provocation.

The pit's owner kept saying "But he's not like that; he's never hurt
anyone"... well guess what? He practically disemboweled this other dog.
(The vet managed to save the dog, miraculously.) The photo they showed of
the injuries on the plasma screen was so graphic they actually had to
fuzz-out parts of it as if it was a porn photo. The people in the gallery
could see the actual image, though, and it looked like some of them were
going to puke.

Pits do not equal pets. IMHO.

I agree, Jill, in Britain it is illegal to own a Pit Bull.
