This was on the BT Internet news. This person should be put down and never allowed to have animals. I just cant beleive what i read
details below:-
A man who fed a live cat to his Staffordshire bull terrier has been sentenced to four months in a detention centre.
Callum Myers, 18, pleaded guilty to failing to protect a cat from injury at Huddersfield Magistrates' Court earlier this month.
CCTV footage taken at the back of an address in Clifton Road, in Marsh, Huddersfield, on March 15 this year showed Myers dangling the domestic cat above his dog, Gypsy.
He then stood back allowing the dog to savage the cat to death. The cat's owners were able to identify their pet, Tigger, by its collar.
Sentencing at Huddersfield Magistrates' Court, chairman of the bench Stuart Blakey said it was "one of, if not the worst" cases of animal cruelty to come before the court.
He said: "It was a horrible death and you stood by and witnessed it and did nothing to prevent it. Your actions on this day were repulsive."
Myers was also given a 20-year ban from keeping animals.

I saw this story in the Times a few week ago. It mentioned that he'd also fed a puppy to his dog as well.
And he'd shown no remorse about the cat, but felt a bit bad when his dog was PTS.
-
Yea, it should have been the owner who was PTS. Its the animals that suffered
-
Can we please moderate this title, this is extremely upsetting and not something I wish to scream out at me when logging on.
Thank you.

Just about to post this up. My OH says he should've been dangled over a pit of dogs! >:(
-
Thats really awful :(
How can people do such things? They should be put down? >:(
Lynn...thats really awful, I dont know what I'd do if I knew there was a paedophile living around me. Apparently there are loads of them living amongst us tho, its scary to think of.
-
Ths story was on the national news a couple of weeks ago,? they also showed the camera film, horrible it was.
-
yes emma i know, thankfully i am out of the village but know peeps who live oppisite where he was with a 4 yearl old girl.
luckily i dont really go to the swing park as we spent 1000 on their own fancy wooden frame/swings/bumpy shoot etc but jsut the thoght of him letching makes my skin crawl,
-
omg how can someone do something like that!!!!!! ?Im disgusted, both at that and the sentence he recieved, four months is nothing he'll probably be out in two ?:swearin:
-
As requested have tried to change topics title but only succeeded on first post.
Some members have been upset just by the title so would be very gratefull when posting anything of this nature not to go into graphic detail in the title and to put a warning that the content is upsetting , in the title
Thanks very much.
-
Ok I think I have changed them all but dont know if it will work it the list of topics and I cant change that, but have contacted Tan

>:( woopy doo he gets four months in a detention centre and banned from keep animals for 20 years!!!! Personally I would like to take him to London Zoo and dangle him over the tiger cage!!! an eye for an eye and all that.
-
I like that idea
-
lets just hope there are some animal lovers in the detention centre and that he gets his just deserts. I would not hesitate for a split second >:(
This is why I never buy a newspaper any more and haven't done for over 10 years I cannot bear to read about any cruelty . What really hurts me is that pets trust us implicitly. They rely on us for food and affection and protection. Tigger never thought for one moment that he was in any danger because man had never harmed him before so he probably didn't even attempt to escape.
Its the breaking of that trust that breaks my heart
-
I hope he has a 'good' time in the detention centre... :swearin:
-
Hi, Sorry if the title upset anyone, this was never my intention. The title I had put was what was on the news for the world to see. Anyone who loves animals would be shocked this this
Once again apologies.
-
I always wonder what has happened to this child to turn him into someone that could do something like that so young. I hope he gets the help he needs.
-
I hope he gets the help he needs.
He doesn't deserve help. He deserves the business end of a lethal injection syringe. People like that are beyond redemption, and serve no useful purpose to society.
-
Calm down, BBs dad... this is obviously an incredibly damaged kid, yes he's done something awful, worse than awful... but don't you wonder why? What's wrong with him or his life that he's gone so low so young? I think it would be a wonderful achievement for our society if we could rehabilitate someone like that, I know sometimes we do manage it.

:evillaugh: Sorry Rebecca, I sounded more agressive than was my intention. I just find the act of intentionally causing harm to a defenceless creature (be it animal, child, whatever) to be one of the most abhorrent things a human can do, regardless of upbringing or past events. I do believe that some people (this guy included) are beyond redemption and as such deserve no second chance.
