Anonymous declares war on YouTube cat abuser.
Waste of skin kid and buddy abuse cat trapped in shower stall (slam it into the wall, pick it up by the collar, smack it around,
subject it to a shower).

The cast of characters at 4Chan (aka Anonymous), claims to have the kids real life info and are about to unleash a reign of terror on the perp(s).

FWIW, anon is the originator of LOL Cats and "Caturday".

Wrning: Video is difficult to watch (not extremely graphic).

1. There have been no less than 3 kids from 3 completely different parts of the US...
"Positively" identified so far...

This will not end well...

17. animal abusers make me furious.
let the nonviolent drug offenders out and jail the animal torturers.

i am completely nonviolent. someone hurting my animals is one of the few things that would make me snap, however. my kitty, dog, birds, and fish are some of the best people i know.

27. That's why I posted "claims"...
in bold.

Bum info and/or some /b/tard setting up an innocent 3rd party is always a possibility, but they seem pretty certain it's the kid in Oklahoma.

Regardless... this incident has been making it's way through the Internets and taken on a life of it's own.

Correct shit-stains or not, there's no stopping it now. Last I read, the kids father's website was under attack.

I just hope they've identified the correct kids involved and that the proper authorities handle it.

6. I witnessed the video
Slapping the cat, beating the cat, and smacking the cat on the wall was the kid's idea of abuse. The cat just stayed put after the abuse, looking pretty bad.

Hopefully the kid will get arrested and thrown into juvie and into adult prison for the rest of his life.

That is cruelty to the nth degree.

13. It's not incredibly violent
The kid play slaps the cat. It's all pretty staged. But he does shake him around and yells at him. He clearly freaks out that poor cat.

33. ???
Then the kid must be a good actor, because it sure looked like he was beating the hell out of that thing. The camera footage is shakey, so it's difficult to be sure, but it looked like he was being extremely physical. If he wasn't actually hitting the cat, why was it making those noises?

I don't know what the definition of "graphic" is, but I would say this video constitutes that. When I read that it wasn't graphic, I figured it was like you said -- just a playful slap or something. But he was being extremely violent. Maybe I don't have the best eye for that stuff, but it looked real to me.

38. Understand I am not trying to justify it at all
I find it disgusting. But the kid is just playing at beating up the cat. He isn't really slamming it against the wall. It's all pretty theatrical.

But he does scare the shit out of the cat and his yelling alone is most likely animal abuse.

41. Depends on your perspective...
on what "graphic" is (I know I'm the one who posted that).

Rather than go into the "graphic" details, there's been much worse animal abuse pics and videos posted online. IIRC, Anon /b/ whomever, had a significant role in tracking down a person involved in one of the most horrifying cases I've seen or heard of.

I'm not saying Dusty wasn't abused that badly, but at least he's alive and from what I can tell, hasn't suffered any permanent physical injuries.

I just hope he doesn't have any long lasting mental/emotional issues that would prevent him from being adopted into a good home.

10. The original was yanked after 11 hours. By then a vigilante mob formed...
and many innocent kids and their parents had their names and addresses posted in YouTube comments and elsewhere.

Hopefully the police in this kid's town know about this.

Let the police "unleash the reign of terror." Even harrassing this idiot is not worth the time, and might get you in trouble too.

Edited on Sun Feb-15-09 12:41 PM by Occam Bandage
Image macros are extraordinarily popular at 4Chan, and 4Chan is a home base of sorts for Anonymous, but the two aren't the same. Anonymous is something of an aggressive internet social-justice-by-personal-retribution movement, and 4Chan is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, being the source of all that is unholy on the Internet DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU

22. kids who abuse animals should be put to sleep
I'm serious, 100%. To save money they should be dumped at sea, off cheap cargo ships. I can't believe I have to share Earth with people like that.

I won't watch the video but anyone who'd hurt little animals in any way needs to be deleted, forever.

26. Today a cat, tomorrow an adult human, the day after, a child.
We know where this leads. This kid needs professional help, and if any further problems, life in prison to protect society.

Serial killers start with animal torture.

28. Busted!!!
These kids are fooked. :evilgrin:

A local news station in OK ran a story on this and has reported that 2 teenagers have been arrested and charged with the crime.

The cat (Dusty), is alive and well and being kept at a veterinarians.

On the one hand I'm REALLY glad this kid was ID'd and hopefully this whole "Animal Torture YouTube" phenom is stopped in its infancy.

On the other hand, 3 or 4 innocent kids and their families had their names plastered all over the net before Kenny G. was caught.

This really would make an interesting discussion all by itself.

49. e.g. "NY Police receive calls about YouTube cat abuse"
Lawton_Detective Travis Hartman with the Fallsburg, NY Police Department says a family there has received dire threats with relation to a YouTube video posting of a Lawton teen abusing a cat. The family in New York was in no way involved with this case of animal abuse. The detective released a statement to KSWO:

"We were called by a family in our town early Sunday morning who said they were getting threats as their personal information had been involved in a blog concerning this cat story in Oklahoma. We conducted our investigation here and concluded this family was not involved and had nothing to do with this incident or video on the web."

The police there have received comments from around the globe concerning this story. KSWO in no way stated that the teenager was from New York.

37. As one of the out of touch and obnoxious...
you have to remember we're not all teenagers. I'm 27 :D

Anon is for the technologically sound and thoroughly trampled-on sector of society to vent. While I haven't personally been on /b/ in ages (admittedly /d/'s always been my scene) you'll find that some of the spastic, random folk there are doing so in order to properly get out the immense frustration of life over the past. Like any forum we have our asses but overall we're intelligent. Intelligent and angry. Angry at groups like Scientology, angry at the government over the last 8 years and generally angry at society for being overall stupid and allowing Wal-Mart to tell folks what's "good" and/or "cheap".

We don't need a 3rd world country, albeit some of our own could certainly use good old fashioned therapy.

Sorry for the stubborn defense, but frankly Anon have been the only grassroots group that seems perfectly happy to stand up for anything without political motivators and therefore I must support them. They hacked Palin's email, they've fought the evils of Scientology and gave a racist internet right wing radio host a Christmas gift of $75,000 in broadband fees immediately shutting him down. They're this generation's "Grey hats" using somewhat questionable means to get at the folks that the legal process has protected.

Bully for Anon. But don't pray for them, Atheists hate that. :D

39. Long before there was an "Anon"...
or /b/ or 4Chan or DU, there were the hooligans, rascals and trampled-on frequenting the various alt.* hierarchy groups found on Usenet (alt was thought to be an acronym for Anarchists, Lunatics and Terrorists

Alt.alien vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk (flonkers), alt.fan.karl-malden.nose (nosers), alt.romath (Romathians), alt.revenge, alt.syntax.tactical, alt.hackers.malicious, alt.usenet kooks, etc (probably a few more I'm forgetting about).

Most were bored kids posting/trolling for shits and giggles, but a number of us were net vigilantes of sorts and mass invasions of other newsgroups and online users were a weekly occurrence.

Frequent targets were the alt.scientology newsgroup, alt.flame.niggers, spammers, pedophiles, "netcops", news admins, etc. In some cases the the war spilled over into real life (depending on the circumstances, that was usually frowned upon).

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if a fair number of what is now "Anonymous" are former Flonkers, Nosers, Romathians, etc.

4chan humor is *seriously* dark... but I think if a pedo had enough tech presence they'd be raided too.
