Another kitten dies

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.

If Apolyton really loved kittens, this would not have happened!

It's quite obvious this only happened, because you personally didn't buy from Apolyton.

No, I don't buy from Apolyton because they routinely allow things like this to happen.

I agree. If apolyton had stopped the BBQ Kitten from dying, I would've bought that frosty mug....

That is a pretty gross thing to do. If they wanted to eat the thing, they should have killed it humanely first and then barbequed it...

Humans killing other humans is one thing, but this **** really makes me sick. Someone should stick him on a BBQ for a little while

No one else will be charged because the witnesses didn't recognize eachother.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missoura as a state.

Sick m*********r. One almost wishes the authorities could put him on the electric barbecue (the one with the straps) in prison.

I've never quite understood why some people take joy in shooting BB guns at cats, dogs and other pets. Or why they deliberately try to run down animals. Or barbecue them.
It makes me wonder: If they show such disregard for animals ... would you trust them with another human being in some situations? Like an infant? Or a mentally slow person?
I used to roughhouse with my pets when I was a youngster and into my early teen years. But to shoot them? Run them over? Kick/beat them? Microwave them? Barbecue them? My God. What perverse forces drive a person to do this?

 Post of the week.
Cruelty to animals, along with vandalism and lighting fires, can be an indicator for criminal psychotic behaviour against people.
Its a power trip, usually perpetrated by people with low self esteem.
Cats are a favorite target - I guess because they are accessible, wandering around the neighbourhood and so forth.
