Teen Kills Kitten in Oven; Faces 10-Year Sentence
Teen Kills Kitten in Oven; Faces 10-Year Sentence
This is one kid who really needs my boot up her ass. On June 3, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents arrested Cheyenne Cherry, a 17-year-old resident of the Bronx, for allegedly killing a two-month-old kitten by burning her to death in an oven. In addition to cruelty to animals, Cherry was charged with multiple counts of burglary, arson and criminal mischief. Under New York State law, Cherry is considered an adult and faces more than 10 years in prison if convicted of all charges. Cherry admits that she broke into the home of an ex-roommate on May 6 with the intent to "play a joke and mess up her apartment." Cherry and an accomplice allegedly threw bleach on the walls of the apartment, slashed furniture and stole various items. Before leaving, the pair put the victim's kitten, Tiger Lily, into the hot oven. When police arrived at the Bronx apartment to investigate smoke complaints, Tiger Lily was found dead. Her remains were taken to ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, where veterinarians had to perform a necropsy to determine the sex of the badly burned kitten. According to Joseph Pentangelo, Assistant Director of ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, Cherry's explanation for placing the kitten in the oven was simply: "I hate cats." If you know of a child or teen who is hurting animals, please report his or her behavior to the proper authorities—kids who assault animals may eventually act out on people. The ASPCA offers a list of ways to intervene when a child or teen displays dangerous behavior around animals. To report animal cruelty in New York City, contact the ASPCA anonymous tip line at (877) THE-ASPCA. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how to report cruelty elsewhere. |

After me unless you have a bigger foot-She and her accomplice (let's remember there were 2 of them and I hope the other "person" involved is facing the same sentence) thought mesing someone's room up was "a joke" (and how funny to steal things, slash furniture and throw bleach at the wall- yeah right that's really funny if you're ...I was going to say "brain dead" but that's not fair to brain dead people) and on the grounds of "I hate cats" put a living creature into an oven!!!!! You can dislike cats all you want (I suspect you've not met the right cat...and I've had that bourne out by several "I don't like cats" friends who have met the right cat and are now as devoted slaves to that cat as the rest of us are to our owners) but to put a living creature into an oven......presumably as part of the "joke"!!!! 10-years is not enough and Cherry should be spayed Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

I hope a hefty prison sentence is involved--and this may also save some *people* in the future. People who start out by mutilating helpless animals often move on to children or elderly people next.

Who cares about *people*? The important thing is it will save other innocent *cats*. One of my first short stories written in English (not my native language) in high school, had the following line: "If you don't have mercy for a kitten, how can you have it even for a man?" -- No, no, you can't e-mail me with the nono. |

I hope authorities can put together a strong case against this guy (assuming he's the right guy). I sure hope this doesn't get plea-bargained down to no jail time. It's absolutely horrific what happened to 19+ cats, and it's horrible what he did to the people who loved those cats. FirstHit |
