NEW YORK – A New York City teenager has admitted that she failed to let a kitten out of an oven after a friend put the animal inside and left it to roast to death.
After pleading guilty to charges of animal cruelty and attempted burglary on Wednesday, 17-year-old Cheyenne Cherry confronted a row of animal activists outside the courtroom. Cherry stuck out her tongue and told the activists that the kitten named Tiger Lily was "dead."

At any rate...what an unrepentant little piece of garbage. I'm not an animal rights kook, but what this girl did is just plain sick. That she thinks it's funny after the fact is even sicker.
This is one female who ought to be sterilized. Letting her reproduce would be a crime.
Even in prison she will be able to vote for obama... repeatedly.

Speaking of repeatedly....
Anyway, when I lived in New York State, convicted felons could not vote for the rest of their lives, much less from prison. Things change, I doubt that the Democrats could ignore such a lucrative lode of voters.

The teen accused in a Bronx kitty killing was busted last year in the armed dog-napping of a teacup Yorkie, police said.
Cheyenne Cherry's boyfriend snatched the pooch from a woman in a Bronx park last June after holding a BB gun to her forehead, police said.
Days later, Cherry, 17, had the nerve to send friends to show up with the dog when a $500 reward was posted, the pooch's owner said. "She's evil," Johan Castro, 23, said.
Despite her June 2008 arrest for larceny and extortion, along with two other busts, Cherry was released without bail after being charged with letting a friend's kitten die inside a 200-degree oven.
"They wonder why this little girl doesn't learn right from wrong," Castro said. "If she's willing to kill a cat and steal my dog, what else will she do? She thinks she can beat the system."
Cherry said little Tiger Lily was killed during "a practical joke" - the same excuse she gave for shoving a gun in the robbery victim's face last year, cops said.
"It was just a joke," Cherry said after her arrest for robbing a man of his iPod at gunpoint. She pleaded guilty to robbery and got five years probation.
Cherry also had a 2007 arrest for smacking a girl in the head with jewelry, police said.
Cherry, now charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, arson, burglary and criminal mischief, is a dog owner who loves pets, her brother insisted.
"My sister is no cat killer," said David Cherry. "Cheyenne is not an animal hater. She has a little Yorkie that she loves."
In a cruel twist to the case, a Brooklyn retiree who shares a last name with Cherry is getting threats after someone mistakenly listed her number on a Web posting about the cat slaying.
"They're all saying, 'You'll burn in hell,' 'Who the hell do you think you are?'" Bernadette Cherry, 72, said of the 75 calls from cat lovers.
Bronx teen confesses to roasting kitten

A Bronx teenager roasted her ex-roommate's kitten to death in a stove - then brushed off the incident as a joke when she was busted, authorities said Thursday.
"I hate cats," Cheyenne Cherry, 17, allegedly told investigators when asked about the heartless crime.
Cherry's confession came after she was arrested Wednesday by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
She and an unidentified juvenile allegedly broke into Valerie Hernandez's Tinton Ave. apartment on May 6 and trashed the place.
Then in a shocking act of animal abuse, they tossed the woman's kitten, Tiger Lily, into the stove and cranked up the temperature, ASPCA assistant director Joe Pentangelo said.
Cherry told authorities that she and her accomplice "thought we would play a joke on Valerie and mess up her apartment."
The duo bolted from the apartment with DVDs and packages of noodles, Pentangelo said.
"She didn't want to hear the cat crying and scratching at the oven door," Pentangelo said.
Firefighters found the female cat's remains smoldering in the oven after neighbors complained of smoke coming from Hernandez's apartment.
"My brother came to my house and said, 'I think food is burning,'" said Hernandez's next-door neighbor Jannetssie Genau, 24.
"Later the police came and said what it was. I was upset because I had a cat myself before."
Besides roasting the kitten, Cherry and her friend allegedly slashed Hernandez's furniture, unscrewed light bulbs and threw bleach on the walls, Pentangelo said.
"I think what was done cries out for justice," Pentangelo said. "It's a shame that this kitten had to suffer like this. For the kitten to get caught up in whatever was going on with them is a tragedy."
Pentangelo said the kitten was burned so badly a necropsy had to be performed to determine its sex.
Cherry was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, burglary, arson, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. She was released to the custody of her mother.
The unidentified juvenile involved in the incident has not been arrested.
This girl will end up killing someone before it’s all said and done, I fear. She’s violent, cruel, completely without remorse and concerned only with herself. A sociopath.
Someone that would do that to a kitten would probably do that to a child, too, if they could get away with it.
Asocial and amoral - no remorse and no conscience - no sense of feeling for others - nasty thing to be among civil society.
This will be her again in the future:

May she someday reap the rewards of her actions knowing full well that she will then have the "joke" be on her.
Permanently.
Best to be safe rather than sorry.
Psst...hey you animal rights activists, environmentalists and other wing nuts - when you create a culture that kills 45 million babies, advocates euthanasia and bans God from the public, your gonna get dead kittens, microwaved babies,and high school shootings.
You reap what you sow.
“no remorse and no conscience...”
My wife works with disadvantaged children. Over the years, she has noticed that this is becoming more and more prevalent. Although these kids have to be held accountable, in a very real sense the fault lies with the parents. If you never carry your children to church,if you don’t teach AND live a decent and moral life, discipline them and never give them unconditional love - then you are going to raise a pitiful human being like this girl. So many of our ills in America are linked to our declining morality.-—JM

Cruelty to animals is part of the “psychopathic triad”.
