September 29, 2006An 18-year old Dallas man faces cruelty charges after he:
FED KITTENS TO HIS PIT BULL
Yeah...you read that right. This guy was pulling kittens out of a bag, throwing them on the ground to kill them or knock them out...then kicking them to his pit bull who tore them to pieces.
Not in the privacy of his own home mind you....in an apartment complex parking lot.
Here's the story, from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram

An 18-year-old Dallas man faces cruelty charges after he was accused of slamming kittens to the ground and kicking them toward a snarling pit bull, which tore them apart.Officers have identified the man and were preparing an arrest warrant, said Senior Cpl. Donna Hernandez, a Dallas police spokeswoman. She declined to release his name.
Police have also identified a 28-year-old woman whom they believe punched a witness to the carnage, Hernandez said.
The incident occurred about 7:20 p.m. Monday at an apartment complex in the 9400 block of Skillman Street in north Dallas, police said.
The witness was a passenger in a car that pulled into the complex. The occupants "observed a large crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the parking lot," according to a report.
They saw the suspect "taking kittens from a blue plastic box and violently throwing them on the ground."
They then saw the man "kicking the kittens towards a brown and white spotted pit bull, who was tearing the kittens apart with its mouth," the report says.
The people in the car yelled at the suspect to stop the maulings.
That's when a woman approached and punched the passenger in the eye, according to the report. She is apparently related to the 18-year-old.
The driver parked and called police. When officers arrived, the suspects and the dog were gone.
"But detectives did some good follow-up and worked with the witnesses and the apartment manager and were able to locate both suspects," Hernandez said. "Now, it's just a matter of us picking them up."
The man faces charges of cruelty to animals, a Class A misdemeanor. The woman is expected to be charged with retaliation, Hernandez said.
Now...when I first heard about his story, I had to laugh a bit. I mean, come on...is anybody souless enough to actually do this?
You hear about people who feed mice to their snakes all the time.
And we all know that dogs love to chase cats.
But seriously? This guy was tossing helpless kittens to his pit bull. He doesn't deserve a misdemeanor...he deserves to be tossed into a tigers cage.
Now, you all know that I don't like pit bulls anyways. And this dog will probably have to be destroyed now that it thinks eating other small animals is okay....
But good lord. This guy must have really hated cats.

Better yet, the guy and that lady should be put in a cage inside another cage, surrounder by tigers. The dog should also be placed in there, if that doesn't work, then they should do what you suggested, LOL.
