*UPDATE* Rescuers have caught the cat, who they have named King. King is luckily still alive. He will be taken for further medical exams and hopefully spend his remaining years in a loving home, living up to his namesake. Let's keep signing this petition! Already close to 1,000 signatures in one day, you guys rock! It will be delivered at the end of the week.

About this Petition
"Andre Robinson, 21, is seen laughing as he lures the unsuspecting kitty toward him before he kicks it with full force, sending it flying 20 feet through the air. Video of the vicious May 2 act was posted on Facebook and circulated for several days before cops arrested Robinson on Monday. He has eight prior arrests, including one for knifepoint robbery."

...is a classic sign of sociopathic personalities.
It's not allowed, but this would seem like a very appropriate case for an eye-for-an-eye punishment.

Hope he gets at least ten years to think about it.
Reminds me of a similar video I saw years ago. Sickening. At first I thought it was the same person, then realized that this apparently happens more often than I thought.

That's the kind of guy you wish got slammed to the ground face first while handcuffed. That poor little kitten looks just like mine, same color and tux white pattern.

The absolute feckless morons of the world continue to do these things, within sight of a camera. Upon conviction, all bets are off.
Dumbfuck.
