Police in Ontario, California, said on Saturday they received information "regarding the abuse of a kitten by a young man," and had identified a 16-year-old suspect, but would not be disclosing his name, due to his age.
The cat, which police described as a "small kitten" in a press release posted to Twitter, suffered a fractured leg.
"The kitten and its owner have been located," police said. "The kitten survived the incident but did suffer an injured leg. The Inland Valley Humane Society is assisting with the investigating and care of the injured animal."
In a statement Monday, the Ontario Police Department said that they had arrested the 16-year-old suspect, after he was spotted by officers.
"He ran from the officers but was quickly tackled and arrested," the police department said. The statement added that the injured kitten was at a veterinarian hospital and in "good condition."
The kitten is named Spots. Spots's owner did not watch the footage. "I just want him to know he hurt a victim that can’t defend itself," the cat's owner, Perla, told NBC4. Spots was once a stray, before being found a few months ago, the station reported.
NOTE: the comments section is amazing. They want to rip this subhuman to shreds.
At the least, castrate the perp....he’s a future cannibal or serial killer.
Inbred pos.
Wish he had resisted arrest to the point of needing a sidewalk sandwich and a wood shampoo.
Yup, crucify the kitty abuser and let the 120,000 daily killing of unborn babies go unchallenged and unprosecuted.
Our politically-correct popular culture is pathologically deadly.
The people who do this to defenseless animals should be watched for future activities. They care about nothing and no person. Disgusting. We have a cat that was run over by a car. It struggles every day but is a trooper.
The perps name was published in the comments. One of the comments says the kitten has died of internal bleeding.
Felony animal cruelty.
Curbstomp the POS.
Do you somehow get the idea we in FR give abortionists a pass?
Another “dreamer”?
Someone followed up and said that person is not the perp.
Glad the kitten only suffered a broken leg, hopefully this punk learns from this. Kids do stupid and mean things sometimes, I hope this is a one off for this kid and he learns and grows from it.... and this isn’t this kids regular behavior.
All I can say is that juvenile sob is lucky the Police got to him first.If I found him he would be missing a limb.
Potential Serial killer in the making.Harming a defenseless kitten.What an animal.
Just called PD. Latest info is that kitten is ok.
That’s good news. Thanks Doug.
Concealing the perp’s identity is idiotic. People in the community have the right to know who did this regardless of his age. Particularly because of his age, even. Not a good sign.
bump
Is it not possible to care about unborn babies AND innocent animals?
