A group of men found a cat struggling in a parking lot, so they decided to torture it

The violence was filmed and posted for all to see. These Men Filmed Themselves Torturing a Cat, Kicking It Nearly 20 Feet and Setting It on Fire      Sign Now      Arfin,   In October of 2021, a group of men came across a cat in the parking lot of an apartment complex in Beaumont, Texas. The men proceeded to torture the cat in unthinkable ways, filming the entire ordeal on their phones and posting the videos to social media. The following details are incredibly graphic. One of the men proceeded to pick up the cat and kick it "as if kicking a football field goal." The frightened animal flew 15 to 20 feet through the air before crashing painfully back down to the ground. But the group didn't stop there. Someone else, who was not mentioned in the recent sentencing, then poured a flammable liquid all over the cat and set the animal on fire. Burning alive, the cat ran away while its group of torturers continued to film.  The things these men did that day could not have been more cruel.    While we are grateful that at least two of these men have been sentenced to jail time, we cannot become complacent. Jail time does not reform this kind of cruel aggression, and it doesn't seem clear that every perpetrator has been sentenced either. This kind of violence could very likely happen again, against another animal or even escalate to a person, as research tells us often happens. That's why we're asking the U.S. Attorney's Office involved in this case to continue to pursue justice in the form of mandatory, intensive counseling for these aggressors as well as a complete and total ban on animal ownership ever again. Sign the petition if you agree!
