Anyone following this? He and the other chap that was with him in the video are now being charged with two counts of animal abuse. Another video was found of a different cat being abused. Both were removed from the home and are doing fine.
To be honest I'm more angry at the parents. They (the parents) were aware of the beatings. A member of the online community involved in finding these kids contacted their parents and told them of the incident. Want to know what the punishment was going to be? His dirtbike being taken away. That's it. What the ****.
I'm also glad there was such an "internet backlash" over this. Apparently they had plans to torture and kill other cats. One said plan was to kill one with a lawnmower.

Yea this pisses me off. I love cats a lot, and other animals as well. i really hope that the judge or jury gives them the maximum penalty on each of the charges they are facing, which I believe is at least 3. What is so stupid is that they didn't learn from the previous ppl who posted similar animal abuse videos on youtube. There was another 1 where someone filmed a cat being killed by a dog and those stupidass kids got caught too
