Two men were arrested Wednesday after they allegedly stood by laughing as their pit bull ate a live kitten.

Jeremy Johnson, 17, and Travis Johnson, 23, were arrested in a vacant lot in the 4900 block of Bradley Street after 911 dispatchers received an anonymous tip about the pair, a Baton Rouge police arrest affidavit says.

When police and animal control officers arrived at 11:20 a.m., they saw Jeremy Johnson holding his pet pit bull’s leash while the dog consumed a kitten, according to police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely and the affidavit.

Animal control officers had to pull the pit bull off the kitten, McKneely said. The officers located another kitten that had been mauled nearby in the grass. Jeremy Johnson told officers “he was letting the pit bull take care of the kittens because he doesn’t like cats and thinks there are too many of them loose in the area,” McKneely said.

1. Fuck...that's just...

Speechless...

[Madam Mossfern]

2. Beyond horrifying

These two need to be watched closely from now on. I hope they get prison sentences and psychiatric evaluations...they are truly sociopaths.

3. Yet, these creatures are considered the epitome of evolution.

I beg to differ.

Not to mention "in the image of God".

[beam me up scottie]

4. why do i click on these threads

what's wrong with me, i know better

[tularetom]

5. When I read stuff like this I have to rethink if I really oppose the death penalty

I would gladly throw the switch myself to fry these two sorry pieces a shit.

6. Johnson & Johnson...

What a pair of winners...

I got nothing to say that could add to this other than... ASSHOLES!!!!

[CoffeeCat]

7. These people lack something...

...in their bodies, that allows them to feel empathy.

What a pair of useless, worthless heaps of garbage.

I can only imagine what the people around them have endured, as a result of their missing neurons, genes, whatever.

I hope neither of them have children.

Makes me so sick.

[applegrove]

8. I hope they actually get sentenced to some time in jail. Sick sick sick!

13. There's hope for that -

They "were booked into Parish Prison on two counts of felony aggravated cruelty to animals and one count of criminal trespassing."

and

"If convicted, the Johnsons could pay a fine ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or spend from one to 10 years in prison, or both."

I would love to see the 'both' option.

9. I say we drop them in a tiger cage, after the tigers have been on a diet for a while. See how they

like it.

[lonestarnot]

10. Vick needs company.

[jmowreader]

11. This probably would have gotten me fired...

but I think I would have euthanized the pit bull, on the spot and in front of the owners. Now that the pit knows cats taste good, it's going to kill all it can find. There's also the punishment angle for the little punks.

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. pit bull lover. 'nuff said. n/t

[liberalla]

14. what does that mean?

[dorktv]

15. That is not how one works on the reducing the cat overpopulation.

Assholes.

[Brigid]

16. I hope the jury is loaded with cat lovers.

And I hope they get ten years (the maximum mentioned in the article). :grr: Off to hug my kitties now.

[Withywindle]

17. 10 years sounds about right.

I'm sure we'll get along just fine without them.

[BlueStater]

18. Lock these two sub-humans up

Those that torture animals are among the lowest life in the planet.
