Tennessee Football Player Under Investigation For Allegedly Abusing 6-Month-Old Kitten
A University of Tennessee student claims a linebacker on the football team badly injured her 6-month-old kitten ... and now, cops are investigating.
The player at the center of the probe is Aaron Beasley -- a former high school star who just wrapped up his sophomore season at UT.
Beasley played in 8 games in 2020 -- but is touted as a potential future star with a high ceiling.
The problem ... a UT student claims Beasley committed some horrific acts of violence against an innocent kitten -- injuring the animal so badly, he, required a trip to the emergency room.
The cat's owner described the situation in a GoFundMe page set up for her pet on Thursday.
"I came home this morning to find my 6 month old kitten under a dresser hiding and not letting anyone touch him."
"When I picked him up he screamed and couldn’t walk, come to find out my roomates boyfriend had hit and kicked him, locked him in the toilet bowl, and held him upside down by his tail."
"We rushed Nugget to the emergency room and he has brain damage and will now have a hard time walking, he has a bleeding hemorrhage on his kidney caused from internal bleeding from being kicked, clots in his bladder, and he is currently in an oxygen tank."
The Knoxville Police Dept. confirmed to WBIR that it received a report of animal abuse involving another student's cat and has opened an investigation into Beasley.
We reached out to the Univ. of Tennessee for comment but so far no word back.
As for the kitten, Nugget's GoFundMe has already raised more than $4,300 to help with the cat's medical care.
Unfortunately there are a lot of evil, demented people out there.
Looks like a Russian Blue. Very intelligent, affectionate and loyal breed of cat.
He must feel like a REAL MAN now../sarc
Anyone who can be that cruel to an animal has it in them to be that cruel to a human.
This man needs help, now.
This is no different than Mama’s boyfriend beating her child.
Happens every day.
Peyton Manning got away with playing grab-ass with a female. Will the university cover this up? There is a difference between the 2 acts just as there is a difference in color. Ah the times we live in.
It gets harder and harder to care about college football these days. Guys like this are pretty much on every roster now.
I would like to see a pic of the dirtbag.
What was the roommate doing while the scumbag was torturing the cat?
The most enjoyable football game I've seen in years was the Army-Navy game in 2016 right after President Trump's election. President Trump attended as President-elect and he was met with raucous approval. It was awesome.
From the TMZ site...
So drop the n word and claim ignorance and say you learned it from rap “lyrics.”
Bet he’s punished more severely than if he beat the hell out of his wife or girlfriend.
It’s an upside down world.
OMG! Really
A cat got hurt? Call out the special forces, SWAT, Rangers, Airborne.
People dying by the hundreds in urban centers everywhere is perfectly okay with the word, but by God, hurt a cat or a puppy and well hell action must be taken.
Headlines: A child fell down in the playground and hurt it’s knee. Call an ambulance and get that kid to the trauma center.
A cat gets hurt by a thoughtless person and we devote the next hour to justify his crucifixion.
We need a little perspective.
Ditto that.
Yep, my wife and I have one.
People who abuse animals move on to humans. The roommate needs to dump him NOW, they need to do a thorough check into his background, and he will need whatever intervention they do when they catch people like that.
