An animal abuse story that has sparked outrage across the country has Comanche County Sheriff Kenny Stradley saying that two local boys are responsible. The teen was filmed beating and torturing a cat, and uploaded it to YouTube over the weekend. It was viewed about 30,000 times.
Internet observers along with information from popular websites such as YouTube, Reddit, Digg, Facebook and Myspace, came up with pictures posted by a teen in Lawton that related to parts of the video. That's when 7News and local authorities began receiving calls. "At this time, it appears that it is here in Lawton. We re just at the beginning of this, but it s looking like it is from Comanche County," said Stradley.
The horrifying day may be over for the cat, but it is just getting started for its abusers. "We'll put it together and take it to the D.A. It will be up to the D.A. whether or not he files charges or not. Our job is to put the investigation together as a case and take it to the DA and that's what we'll do," said Stradley.
Sheriff Kenny Stradley says the cat has been taken to a local veterinarian and that investigators have questioned two boys.
The abusers names are not being released because they are minors.
What I want to know is who are the sick people, all 30,000 of them who would watch this video!?!?! This is just disgusting!

I was one of the viewers and it made me sick. I think the 30,000 witnesses to this tragic event won't forget, even when we transcend death.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Joe.
ReplyDeletethey should give the cat to a good home. Being locked up in some vet can't be much better than abuse, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteSome of the people watching this video are clearly sick yes, but others find themselves having to watch these things so we can then accurately report them and get justice for the animal.
ReplyDeleteSadly it is often dependent on someone actually watching the video and reporting it for it to be highlighted at all, as anything seems to go on sites like this. There are probably still hundreds of sick videos on these sites that are yet to be watched and be reported and they are often placed under innocuous names so go undetected, there are also many other videos which purposefully give themselves names like 'man kills dog' etc in order to gain more traffic from sickos when they are actually just uninventive rubbish, which makes it even harder for those who are trying to watch out for real cases of abuse to locate the real offenders.
