I say they feed HIM to the gator.

[Provost Harrison]

Andrew J. Castor, 14, of 1432 S.E. 24th Ave. was arrested on charges of felony cruelty to animals, feeding a gator and the theft of the cat.

I can see charges 1 and 3 sticking, but charge 2, feeding a gator? Is that a criminal offence

But it leaves one burning question...does cat taste good.

Just remember, if cats were bigger, they'd eat us

Thats a technicality at best, Gepap.

The child broke the law and should be punished, but i don't think the maximum is correct, given the lack of priors. A stiff fine and community service would suffice.

And some psychiatric help, obviously.

he's not "sick" as some here have suggested. he's just a curious boy, possibly with a bad upbringing. who here can honsetly say they've never ripped the wings off a fly, peed on an anthill or similar?

No, anymore than the difference between manslaughter and murder is a technicality. The crime of murder simply does not apply to non-humans, as long as they have not been accepted as members with rights of the community.

I can!!!

Peed on an anthill?! Is this what they teach you Americans in preschool?!?!?!

"What would happen if I kicked this kitty in the stomach and the head and then threw it to the gator???" He's just a curious little boy, isn't he?

That reminds me of a man who went to court for killing an endangered bald eagle.

Judge: Why did you kill the eagle sir?

Defendant: I am deeply sorry your honor but I was hungry so I cooked him and ate him.

Judge: Well that will be a $500. fine. By the way, I am curious; what does a bald eagle taste like?

Defendant: It tastes kind of like a Condor but probably is more similar to a spotted owl...

The microwave is far more fun with kitties

Listen now folks, if you're going to sentence him to a prison, you might as well execute him -- his life is ruined after the sentence and he won't enjoy his life anyway -- suffering from eternal guilt and bitterness.

Will commit suicide or start using drugs during the first 6 months, I'd say. Sending him into prison would be pure hypocricy, considering the living conditions in US prisons.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished. Just, don't treat him like a psycho or a criminal. No one will benefit from that.
Make him work at an animal shelter or something and he'll learn not to go around and feed pets to aligators

That's like making a pedophile work at a school.
