| #1 Posted on 16.7.02 1703.08 Reposted on: 16.7.09 1703.56 | LIBERTY, Missouri (AP) -- A man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly burning a kitten on a barbecue grill as several other people stood around and watched in amusement.
A witness pulled the scorched, 7-week-old tabby from the hot coals, but it was severely injured and had to be put to death, police said.
"They kept saying, `Meow, meow,' and they were poking at it with a stick," said Sherry Scott, who burned her hand grabbing the kitten.
Charles C. Benoit, 24, was charged with animal abuse, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He was jailed on $10,000 bail.
Jim Roberts, spokesman for the Clay County prosecutor's office, said he does not expect anyone else to be charged, because no witnesses could identify the others.
Scott said that on Friday night, she saw 10 or 12 people at the barbecue grill in the courtyard of the apartment complex where she lives. Scott said she asked what they were cooking, and they said it was a cat. She said the group taunted her, daring her to rescue the cat.
She said the group scattered when she threatened to call police. She said she pulled the kitten from where it had been shoved into the coals at the back of the grill. Its tail, whiskers, fur, eyes and throat were scorched.
"I called him Lucky because I thought I got him out of there just in time," she said.
Scott said she and other residents stayed up Friday night trying to nurse the kitten with an eye dropper of milk. But animal control officers decided that because of its respiratory injuries and inability to swallow food, it had to be destroyed.
"If you would have seen him, you would have cried," said Sheri Simpson, one of the residents who helped care for the kitten.

"an eye for an eye"
that's my stance on punishment...
stupid "Cruel and unusual punishment" can be used to knock down any punishment other than what is "usual" now...just need a judge that can turn it around for us

It was a picture of the kitten pre-burning. On an advertisement that they were going to do it, apparently.
At the animal shelter I work at, we have a kitten that looks almost exactly like that one. That's messed up. | OlFuzzyBastard

Next time someone tells you that we should take it easy on criminals because God wants us to be merciful, give 'em this passage (this is NEW Testament, people):
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that whcih God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."
--Romans 13:1-4

Yes, this guy is a sick mother and all that, and I feel terrible for the kitten and think the guy should die, but THIS POST MADE ME LAUGH HARDER than anything I've seen in a YEAR, I swear. I'm NOT laughing about the cat...but T.R.'s wit is just too much here.
