PETITION TARGET: Florida State Attorney William Gladson
Trapped in a trash can by a Florida teen, a helpless cat suffered a torturous buildup to his gruesome death. After holding the cat prisoner for days in a garbage bag, the teen finally pulled the animal out of the trash can by his tail and slammed him against the pavement until blood started to flow from his mouth, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
After killing the cat, the teen tossed his lifeless body into a nearby neighbor’s yard, hoping that the dogs that lived there would further mangle his body, the teen told police.
The teen also admitted to stomping another cat in the neighborhood, but not killing the animal, according to an affidavit.
Police charged the teen with felony aggravated animal cruelty and petty theft. He has since been released to his parents.
The person responsible for torturing and killing an innocent cat must be held accountable before other animals or people are harmed or killed. The link between animal cruelty and human abuse is clear, and his next victim could be a person.
Sign this petition urging Florida State Attorney William Gladson to review this case to the fullest extent of the law, including intervention and a psychological evaluation to prevent future harm.
This young man should not be let off the hook-he is a potential people-killer. This type of abuse is typical of a mentally deranged person and he needs to be put away somewhere where he cannot hurt anyone human or animal—or himself. This is not the prank of a young person-he is mentally ill.
Lock the lil Dahmer up now!!!
This bastard needs to bring jail, no matter what his age.
WHEN WILL COURTS/ JUDGES/ POLICE ETC TAKR ANIMAL CRUELTY (ACTUALLY TORTURE) SERIOUSLY??????
THIS KID IS ON THE ROAD TO BE A KILLER, AS ALREADY CONFIRMED WITH HOS CONFESSION OF 2 VICTIMS ALREADY!!!!!!!
GO AHEAD AND WAIT, BUT DONT BE SURPRISED WHEN ONE OR MORE OF HIS FUTUTE VICTIMS ARE HUMAN.
