Man arrested for burning kitten on grill


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.

How demented does one have to be to do that or to find that funny? That's cruel and disgusting. :(

I'm appalled!
 

I cannot believe what I just read.

That $5,000 fine charge was not nearly enough! How would he like if someone sat him on coals and grilled him?! Cruel, cruel, cruel. He'll get what he deserves!!:mad:

OK, that is egregious.

He should be watched carefully because people like that have the potential to be serial killers.

I was thinking the same thing as in Jeffrey Dahmer.

Last Wednesday I was presented with a chihuahua that had severe head trauma and proptosed eye. The woman that brought it in said she had been HBC (hit by car). An austin police officer came in about 5 minutes later and said that the woman's friend had taken the puppy and started banging its head on the concrete. The police were currently looking for the guy who apparently fled the seen-what is sad is people just stood and watched the incident (maybe they were afraid of the guy?). Some of the apt residents called the police. I told the officer that if he would like to bring the man into the clinic that I night I would be happy to bash his head in. The puppy made a full recovery physically but who knows mentally (yes animals can be scared by abuse). The sad part is the puppy may end up going back the original owners who apparently knows this guy. I see cruelty cases on a monthly basis-people are sick and that is why I hate the majority of mankind.

The psychopathic triad also known as the formula for serial killers is:

1. bed-wetting
2. fire-starting
3. cruelty to animals

Not saying that everyone who does any of these things is on the path to serial killer-dom, lol, but MOST serial killers exhibit these behaviors in childhood and beyond. Cruelty to animals is the most prominent one, because it fulfills their need for control. When animals become tiresome, they move on...

To me, there are few things worse than cruelty to animals. They are often harmless. It takes a special breed of "human" to do stuff like that.

For those of you panicing about maybe having kicked your dog for barking too much, the cruelty in question is more like animal torture.

Uh oh, I used to do one of those three. :rolleyes: I'm not a serial killer though.

Its all three . . . torturing small animals, bed wetting and fire starting (playing with matches etc)

Phew! What a relief! ;)

Hey James,

How do we know you are not a serial killer?

People are just f*cking sick! Definitely serial killer material...

My neighbor and I once found one of his cats nailed to a tree by a single nail through its forehead...we've also found them shot. A neighbor of ours thought it was funny and no big loss since they had a lot of cats. Crazy F#(&er

I'm scared that we are going to see this guy in the court system b/c he thinks that torturing cats/kittens are cool!!!

Our facutly advisor went to HS with Dahmer. He said he was a nice guy, but would do anything for money, crazy stuff, and said he drank a lot in HS. Around the same time that he committed his first murder, Dr. Kukral gave him a ride home after a party. It was the summer after their graduation. That was the last time he saw Jeff, and said he read about it a few years later in the paper, and couldn't believe it. That summer, his parents had moved, but he stayed at the house to watch it until they sold it. He picked up a guy from a neighboring town on the road, they went back to his house, got drunk and fooled around, and then the guy was going to leave. Dahmer didn't want him to so he threw something at him. it killed him, so he hid the body in the woods behind the house.

Back to the topic at hand, does anyone remember the cat that got burned in Bloomington a few years back? I don't remember exactly, but I think the owner (not the guy that burned it) was like my dad's second cousin or something.

What is wrong with this kid?

Teen Obsessed With Vampires Charged With Grisly Murder

London (AP) - A teenager obsessed with vampires killed an elderly neighbor and drank her blood because he believed that would make him immortal, prosecutors said Tuesday at the start of his murder trial.The 17-year-old youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of killing 90-year-old widow Mabel Leyshon at her home in Llanfair in north Wales on Nov. 24.

He denies the charge.

Prosecutors said Leyshon's chest was ripped open and her heart removed, wrapped in newspaper and placed in a saucepan on top of a silver platter. Blood was drained from her legs, probably for drinking, prosecutors told the jury at Mold Crown Court. Two fireplace pokers were left crossed at her feet.

Prosecutor Roger Thomas said the teenager was obsessed by "his two main questions - how do I become a vampire and how do I become immortal?"

The defendant decided "a sacrifice, the murder of another human being, was necessary," Thomas said. With his parents away, the youth committed a "planned, deliberate murder to satisfy his own grotesque and selfish ends," he said.

The prosecution said the teen entered Leyshon's house by breaking glass in the back door and attacked her from behind as she watched television, stabbing her 22 times and removing her heart.

Thomas said the defendant "was fascinated by" vampires.

"He believed they existed, believed they drank human blood, and believed most importantly that they could achieve immortality - and he wanted to be immortal. What may have started out as a bizarre interest became an obsession and led ultimately to murder."

Thomas said the youth had been arrested a month before the killing after using force to get a 16-year-old German exchange student he believed was a vampire to bite his neck so that he, too, could become a vampire.
:confused:

These people are sick. I hope that kitten-barbecue guy gets put away for a LONG LONG time. Better yet, put him on the BBQ and see how he likes it! :mad:

Well gee Arya, if you think I might be a serial killer, I am surprised you want to try and screw with me on the internet:D. If I am you will be my next victim. Have a nice day :cool:

In the spirit of human stupidity...
 

(31 March 2002, Bangladesh) Six highway robbers, who had apparently watched too many gangster movies, were caught in their own trap when they blocked a bypass with their car at midnight. The driver of an oncoming truck carrying a cargo of cows was unable to halt his heavy vehicle in time. The truck rolled right through the blockade, crushing the car and its scheming occupants. Five dacoits died, and the sixth was critically wounded.

A Cow was also killed in the accident
