Two men were arrested Wednesday after they allegedly stood by laughing as their pit bull ate a live kitten.
Jeremy Johnson, 17, and Travis Johnson, 23, were arrested in a vacant lot in the 4900 block of Bradley Street after 911 dispatchers received an anonymous tip about the pair, a Baton Rouge police arrest affidavit says.
When police and animal control officers arrived at 11:20 a.m., they saw Jeremy Johnson holding his pet pit bull’s leash while the dog consumed a kitten, according to police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely and the affidavit.

Rut-Roh, Reorge!! :^O
Yep!
Welp ... time for me to head for the salt mine.
Seez ya latah! :^D
Absolutely disgusting
Later!
I think we need a nose count.
Leavey cautioned people against giving away these animals for free, suggesting instead that they adopt them out for a fee.
“When people advertise free kittens, it’s free dogfighting bait,” she said.
Leavey added that it should be a red flag when someone tries to take more than one animal at a time.
Rachel Walz, of French Settlement, said that someone responded to her advertisement about free kittens last month claiming to work for a cat rescue organization.
Walz said her mother gave three of their kittens to the woman, as well as six kittens belonging to their neighbor.
Alarmed by the number of kittens the woman wanted, Walz called two local animal welfare organizations, both of which said that the kittens were probably used to train pit bulls.
“I never could have imagined that stuff like that goes on,” Walz said. “I was disgusted.”
Anyway, when it comes to dogs, there's NO reason to feed them live animals. NONE. Unless it's to train the dog to kill, and for the sick gratification of the one feeding the kitten.
This is a sick person.

I’m a dog person myself but I am not a cat killer.
I’ll start the bidding:
1) Mauling kittens — should be a hefty fine and a couple years in gaol. I don’t like cats at all, but feeding them to dogs is just wrong. If for no other reason than they are likely to cause the dog indigestion.
2) Training a dog for fighting — should be a heftier fine and even more time in gaol, preferably with a lonely, sexually-frustrated psychopath for a cellmate.
3) Owning a pit-bull — another big fine, even more gaol time, plus euthanasia for the dog: preferably with a humane flame thrower or a humane machine gun. Pit bulls are a menace not to be tolerated by any civilized society, and too dangerous for Animal Control Officers to approach with a needle.
(ducks for cover...!)
We need to introduce forehead-branding as a method for punishment in these cases.
They should be hung by their nostrils.
My little Vikings are on the phone with the Viking Commandos as we speak. These punks will crapped into sandboxes before nightfall.
Prepare to be flamed. I got your 6.
LOL
Anyway, I spotted some Parks dept workers and told them about it. They called the police, who actually have a large precinct inside the park, and not that far away from where we were. But after about an hour or so waiting and 2 or 3 followup calls, the police told the workers that there wasn't anything they could do about it because the baby raccoon is/was a wild animal. That of course is total BS. It is entirely against the law to intentionally kill animals, wild or otherwise, in a city park. So, unless that tiny raccoon was on crack or something, they were BS-ing their butts off. They quickly split, btw, when they saw me notifying the park workers.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic, or I would have flamed him myself.
> Yep, they’ll be arriving here shortly. :)
(big grin!)
Would it have been ok if the dog was carrying a rat?
You mean with me, personally, or according to the law here?
“Pit bulls are a menace not to be tolerated by any civilized society”
Bump. The “breed of peace” needs to be banned regardless of the whining of the gangsta g wannabes and white trash who value those “pets.”
Try it that way.

Non Sequitur, straw man, the two are not even in the same solar system.
My gun isn’t go to break out of the yard and rip out the throats of my unfortunate neighbors. Try again.
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. Put another way, for every person that is born, 15 dogs and 45 cats are also born. You do the math, there is no way we can find homes for them all. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals from here to eternity. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them.
Any dog that is not on a leash that gets within 3ft of me is going to get thumped. If they get a hold of me, I will attempt to dissect them.
> Bump. The “breed of peace” needs to be banned regardless of the whining of the gangsta g wannabes and white trash who value those “pets.”
I hate Pit Bulls. They are not Dogs, they are not even a proper breed. They are a Criminal Nuisance and a menace to the law-abiding public, as often-as-not unregistered and un-desexed, great hulking slavering mungrel muts owned by crims and gangsta wannabes.
The Gummint should declare them a dangerous, unwanted, contraband bio-organism, and then deploy the army to round up every one of them, dig a big hole, throw the lot in and humane napalm them into oblivion, and then fill in the hole with cement. Then make it a Capital Offense to import or possess the breed.
They are a dangerous dam’ned Biological Hazard full-stop.
Oh, you weren’t being sarcastic. Wow. o.0
So, since ‘pit bull’ is not a breed, how are you going to go about rounding them all up?
How are you going to do that in a way that doesn’t infringe on the rights of non-pit dog owners?
Its a state and/or local issue. FWIW, if someone were to advertise a pitbull free neighborhood, I’d definetly look into moving into that area.
> So, since ‘pit bull’ is not a breed, how are you going to go about rounding them all up?
That’s easy-peasy-japanesey! It’s just like that famous Jurist whatsisname once said of Pornography: “I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see it.”
Ergo, it is a duty that I’d be glad to arrogate to myself, as Chief Mungrel Mutt Exterminator: “if it looks like a Pit Bull, and Barks like a Pit Bull, and Bites like a Bit Bull, then a Pit Bull it is, no further evidence required. Hell, it sure ain’t no poodle! Hand me the flame thrower and write ‘em out a ticket for Noncompliance.”
Just like that. Simple as!
I like pit bulls. They can be very good dogs. As far as people wanting to round up and kill them, it sounds sort of like gun control talk to me.
I own Akitas myself, and I can tell you they can be tougher and more vicious than pits. If you get rid of the pits, there are plenty of more dog breeds out there to be abused and destroyed. The creeps will just find another breed, perhaps Rotties. And try this one out:
http://www.canadasguidetodogs.com/caucasian.htm
They fight these dogs in Europe and Asia all the time.
It’s the people that breed these dogs for fighting that need to be castrated.
Pits are small, shorthaired, friendly and frankly, I love to pet their big flat heads. A good breed such as a AmStaff is bred for the family. Perhaps breeders should be licensed, and all such dogs bought from breeders committed to breeding for family companionship.
Flame away.
Yeah, I thought it would be something like that...
Well, that would be up to you. Amsterdam has been pit-bull free since 1993, up until this June, when they rescinded the ban because it didn't actually decrease the number of biting incidents.
Sources please. Pitbull weekly doesn’t count btw.
Neither is my dog. So do try and come and take him.
I've got a buck that says you wouldn't have the balls to try to do it yourself.

> Yeah, I thought it would be something like that...
Mungrel Mutts are not covered by the Bill of Rights. And there is no habeas corpus requirements for Mungrel Mutts. They do not get a day in court.
All that is required by law is that they be treated lawfully and in a humane manner.
They are covered under the fourth ammendment as property, & protected again unreasonable seizure.
I thought you’d never ask. :-)

Do you realize that Lurker said he doesn’t own a pit bull, but an Akita?
> They are covered under the fourth ammendment as property, & protected again unreasonable seizure.
No, People are covered under the fourth amendment, and People’s property (eg dogs) cannot be unreasonably seized.
The remedy to that is simple: what is needed is “reasonable” seizure. Declaring Pit Bulls as unwanted dangerous bio-organisms would do the trick nicely. They could thus be treated as any hazardous or nuisance pest would be, under the relevant biosecurity laws.
Just like marijuana plants, for example.
Or merely declare them contraband and have Customs and Excise seize ‘em.
Either way the Fourth Amendment needn’t pose too much of a barrier if your Nation was determined to rid itself of dangerous Pit Bull Mungrel Mutts.
Where did you go to school?
both
Okay, you've started repeating what I say back to me.
That's my cue to give up on you. ;-)
Good luck with that whole flame thrower thing.
Wouldn’t that be more along the lines of 7,000 cats & dogs per human?
