Cat mauled to death...Teens responsible must be punished (Petition)

"Punish Teens Arrested for Siccing Dogs on Neighbor's Cat"


A young man was arrested for animal abuse after reportedly commanding his dog to attack a neighbor's cat.
According to the police, the 17-year-old and his friend were walking their dogs when they saw the neighbor's cat walking along the street.

For no reason other than to be cruel, the teens allegedly released their dogs from their leashes and allowed them to hunt, corner, and brutalize the cat.
A video of the incident shows the two teens looking on as the cat is mauled, making no effort to retrieve their dogs until a witness appears.

The cat died later died from it's injuries.

One teen was arrested and charged with two counts of felony animal cruelty, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
He is currently being held in a juvenile detention facility.
Police are still looking for the other young man and the two pit bulls involved in the incident.
It's possible that the dogs have been trained to fight and/or attack on command.

The cat suffered unimaginable fear and pain before it's death.

In order to protect both animals and humans, it is imperative that both the other teenager and the two dogs are found.

Please sign the petition below to demand that the police seek the maximum possible punishment under the law, and that the dogs are taken away and re-homed to responsible owners.

since there is no such breed, but many, many, many described as such. But you knew that.
