A teen who horrified a judge and seasoned animal cruelty officers by brutally beating and stabbing his cat to death -- because it defecated in the house -- has been prohibited from owning pets for 10 years.
The 17-year-old also received two years probation Thursday after pleading guilty to unlawfully killing an animal, after he put his cat in a garbage bag and stabbed and kicked it before tossing it over a fence.
Justice Lloyd Dean, who has two cats, called the young man's actions "despicable" and said he had to set aside his own feelings during sentencing.
"This is something that strikes at the heart for me," Dean said.

The judge probably would be more understanding if he kills someone.
Anyone who would kill a small animal would kill a baby or child, neither of which is capable of making a reasoned decision. Anyone who would kill them is a potential danger to society.
You hit the nail on the head there. If you abused / tortured / killed an animal e.g. a cat, what would you feel?
“Anyone who would kill a small animal would kill a baby or child,...”
Huh? Never been hunting?
“Huh? Never been hunting?”
Do you torture the animals then stab them to death?
You are not aware of boys, I guess...
Boys do evil things, therefore, give them ritalin or give them timeouts! Isn't that the path you desire with those comments?
Boys kill things. Boys with bb guns kill birds, frogs, and bugs.
Boys with bigger guns go hunting!
The biggest guns can kill lots of people at one time!
Even girls use those now...
Psychiatry is experimental medicine, aka quackery. Period! If you so readily accept those pronouncements from them, you probably agree that homosexuality is normal behavior.
Get a life!
“No, but that isn’t what the poster I replied to said.”
I know but I thought that might bot have been the intent. If they mean otherwise then every hunter is a perverted maniac. Why, that would mean I’M a perverted maniac.
Exactly. I’d bet the judge is pro abortion.
At anyrate, hang the prick because he’s a cruel bully.
I’m a male. I’ve killed lots of things. Torture for pleasure or out of anger is something else. If you think that’s normal you are one sick puppy.
Hope you don’t have any kids or they will be as screwed up as you are.
A lot of serial killers killed animals as youth.
Anyone who would kill a small animal would kill a baby or child,...
***Huh? Never been hunting?**
Or raised animals (chickens, rabbits,ect) for meat!
Quite a difference in killing for a thrill and killing for food. I don’t enjoy it but it has to be done at times.
If that had been my kid, they’d have to keep him in some sort of custody, because he sure as he!! wouldn’t be coming back to live at MY house.
Killing a small family pet out of anger, dog or cat, is not hunting.
As to my going hunting, I own two gun dogs, trained to hunt. I feed what I kill to the dogs. They love the taste of wild duck more than I do.
Don't bother to reply. I won't.
Yep, they're screwed up. /sarcasm.
The eldest is a police lieutenant, and the next one is a high school teacher and musician. Both my girls are married mommies. Really screwed up, didn't i? (crickets chirping)
Idjit! Click the pic to meet my class clown and younger son... You should pray for such prodigy! He's got some beautiful daughters from a fabulous Christian wife. She's a teacher, too. He's the one that mooned the cars behind the school bus.
I done good, and have great pride in their lives! They are all committed Christians. Have a happy Easter.
He is risen, indeed.
“He is risen, indeed.”
Yes, He is.
Congrats on your kids.
You are still wrong.
Most, if not all serial killers tortured, abused, destroyed, and killed any and all animals that they could get their hands on, once they got enough balls, they started killing people. If you think for one instant that torturing and killing animals is something that boys just do, you should really evaluate any past instances in your life where maybe one of your boys tortured or killed an animal, for no reason. I’m assuming that this has occured due to your boys will be boys attitude. You may have raised a serial killer and not even known it, most serial killers are outstanding citizens, very much like all of your boys.
