<i>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.

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.

There's a lot of asshats out there - and they'll one day get what's coming to them... Karma is a major league bitch when it comes to paybacks....

It's a proven fact that this type of behavior is a precursor
to human violence.

This makes me sick and very very sad. hame

"punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine."

I hope the bastard gets the full penalty. If I was there, I'm sure I would have lost it and stuck the SOB's face into the BBQ.

What gets me is how people stood around and were entertained by it... WTF!!!???

Too bad they couldn't have arrested more of them bastards. I am an animal lover (no, I don't go after sheep) I have three dogs, two cats and two ferrets.

I personally dont like cats much but had I been there like said above I would have had to shove that guys face into the BBQ.

thats brutal. People like that shoud have that stuff done to them.

The little neighborhood kids dare not do that to my cats They tried once, with some rocks...and hit one of them... I grabbed a few rocks of my own and tossed a few at the kids simply saying "doesn't feel too good does it?"

They haven't done it since...

Future serial killers in the making. If you have no empthy for a kitten, how much empathy could you possibly have for your fellow humans?

I say we cut his balls off (with a spoon no less) and put 'em on the grill. Then we can all laugh and poke them with a stick while he watches.

im against animal cruelty thats a definate those guys should have gotten their ass's kicked 10 times by each resident at the complex

let me ask you this question
if they had killed the cat humanely and had decided to eat it would you still be mad?

Sov, why do you insist on making more out of nothing.

We do not eat cats in this country, go ask that question in a vietnamese bbs.

just wanting to know your op.

I believe blade already did. I'm 100% sure nobody on this board eats cats. WTF

hey its no biggie
im just asking a q
im kinda curious as to the attachement of animals we see as pets
after all people are cruel to all sorts of animals
like elephants and ostrich if youve ever seen an ostrich farm u know what i mean

but people seem to take a much stronger offence when its a domesticated pet like a dog or a cat
heck ive seen morons beat on possum's and when i threaten to shoot them
they say "its just a possum" but if they took it to animal control to be put down i'd have no problem with it
