2/18 - UPDATE:
From: http://www.kswo.com/Global/story.asp?S=9859463

Lawton_Two Lawton area teens accused of beating a cat and posting it on YouTube over the weekend will be going through the juvenile justice process in Oklahoma. The 14 and 16-year-old brothers each face two charges of animal cruelty after law enforcement was directed to two videos on Sunday that showed the beating and torture of the grey cat named Dusty, and each video carries separate charges.

7News phone lines and emails have been busy with questions about what will happen to the boys. Even more are requesting information about Dusty the Cat. The cat is okay and in the care of a veterinarian.

During their investigation, the Comanche County Sheriff's Department discovered a third abuse video that shows the beating of a black and white cat - also at a teens' home. The sheriff's department rescued that cat today.

The videos uploaded to YouTube show two separate incidents of animal abuse involving the same cat, and the teens face separate charges for each video. "We filed two counts of animal cruelty on each of the two teenagers today," said Comanche County District Attorney Robert Schulte. "They will be referred to the juvenile court system. We'll expect them to make their appearance early this week before the juvenile judge."

The teenagers have a right to a jury trial, and if they waive that, a judge will decide their fate. Until the two suspects are 18-years-old they are considered juveniles and the court records will be sealed. However, Schulte says he knows there is a lot of public concern over the case, and the court is taking it seriously. "I can tell you that our juvenile judge is a long-standing judge, very conservative, very well thought of, very well respected judge," he said. "He will do what he believes is necessary, and feels best in this case as it goes through the system."

The courts have ensured that the pets will not be abused again. Dusty was removed from the home on Sunday, and the second cat was removed Tuesday. "They have been treated by local veterinarians, they are doing well," said Schulte. "They will not go back into the home, and they are expected to be adopted out into a good home in the next few days."

Comanche County Sheriff Kenny Stradley says that once the vet treats Dusty and the other cat, 7News will be able to visit them. You can count on us to have much happier footage of Dusty and the other cat later this week.

Schulte says he did not know what punishment the boys may face if found guilty, but said the penalties for a juvenile conviction could include psychological counseling, court monitoring until they turn 18, community service to provide restitution for treatment of animals, and/or placement in court custody.

Wow... thats pretty mean. Small kids can be mean to animals sometimes but he looks old enough to know what hes doing. Kids got issues, poor cat it looks disturbed and terrified.

Im not really an animal fan but theres no need for that.

 

[Ctrackstar126]

Click it it isnt gory or extremely violent its really just a pathetic attempt to pick on something bc its weaker and smaller. You wont regret seeing it but it will anger you.

I don't like cats but I couldn't watch that abuse.

 

[Auggie]

It's not so bad. There's no direct physical abuse. They just rough house with a cat that obviously is a bit miffed/scared, then hold him in the shower. Then at the end the cat is meowing in a truly miserable voice.

It's more like psychological abuse than physical abuse. I feel sorry for the cat, but also for the kids, who obviously don't really feel sorry for messing with the cat like this.

 

[Savij]

Was that cat drugged or something? It doesn't seem to be struggling very much.

 

[Maximilian]

Its hardly unwatchable, mean but far from unwatchable.

Anyways some good news according to the guy who posted that video /b/ found him and called his mom and hes busted lol. I know not exactly the best source of info, some guy who posted on youtube but still... hopefully the little bastard gets taught a lesson.

It's amazing that the /b/tards did something morally correct for once!

The thread was pretty entertaining.

One Anon made a great point regarding that cats are the only animals /b/ likes - being that they invented lolcats and Caturday.

This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

Never mind punishing him with jail, etc. Just smear his nether regions with a paste of tuna mixed with catnip while he sleeps!! :evil:

Videos are gone, but I have newfound resp... uh... less contempt for 4chan if they really made an effort to track him down.

/b/ has all of the kids contact information as well as his mothers.

One Anon said he called the police and was told that he was the 35th person to call. It also got reported to CNN via the iReport thing.

it's obvious it wasn't the first time, it was hiding behind the shower step before the kid even started. It knows it's trapped.

What a piece of shit kid.

4Chan has all sorts of info on the kid: address, phone numbers, myspace account, facebook account, mother's contact information, his high school website.

MySpace

To the masked individual and cameraman in the video I have the following message. I don't know who you are, we don't care what you want. If you think you can pay ransom, I can tell you we don't want money. But what we do have are a very particular set of skills; skills we have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make us a nightmare for people like you. If you turn yourselves in now, that'll be the end of it. We will not look for you, we will not pursue you. But if you don't, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will van you.

:laugh:. I hope the kid gets prosecuted for animal abuse too :|.

They're a fickle bunch. I saw one thread where a guy posted, apparently requesting a personal army to harass some girl he knew. Well the army turned on him, and the ownage was epic.
The wisest option is to never post anything there that could possibly be linked to your real-life self, or even to any of your Internet personas. They know no limits, and they know no remorse.
