Teen Arrested in Florida for Killing 19+ Neigherhood Cats.

I hope the lock him up for a long time. Dont serial killers start with pets? I think i remember reading something about that being a sign to know that someone will be a serial killer or maybe it was a movie I watched. How can someone do that to a poor defensive cat

yea,they said it may be as high as 30. they already sprung the lil' freak.he's out on bail. he should have been denied bail.

I feel he really needs allot of help he's really [SicK] He should be put away just like any body else would be.You are right when they start that young my dad use to say if are mean to any animals he felt that doctor should talk to them and why you are doing this.That's really sad!!!I hope he gets what's comming to him for that. cd

What's this teen. He's 18. That's a legal adult. The headline using the word "teen" makes people think he's a minor. I hope they throw the book at him. With all this publicity he will have a very hard stay in prison if he gets convicted. He will be watching his butt all the time,as will the other prisoners, because it will get used and abused.

wow this guy has serious problems. i would ht to be in that area when he did that. i have 2 cats. i feal sorry for whoever lost there anamal

This is terrible. when i was a little boy, i had 2 cats.... and to think of someone killing 19??? why on earth does he feel the need to kill cats?? people who kill animals as kids/teens are shown too more likely grow up and become serial killers... i hope they lock this kid away for a long time..

I've been hearing about this story in the news for a while...Since they started noticing there was a serial cat killer on the loose. His Dad claims that there is no way his son would do such a thing. I think bail was set at about $250 thousand. I'm guessing they wouldn't have arrested him if they didn't have some convincing proof, but he does have a right to a trial. It'd definitely sick and twisted, but I don't know if we can assume it means he'd become a killer of humans. I know there are statistics that show that people who torture animals are more likely to be violent toward humans, but we can't "know" how he will turn out. If he did it, he should get jail time, but he clearly needs counseling too. I just can't be so quick to judge young people who do bad things without knowing how they got the way they are. I'm not saying they shouldn't be punished, of course they should, but I think a persons life circumstances need to be taken into consideration.

I've read this story before, but it's just as sad as the first time. I really hope they have the right kid. Wouldn't it be horrible to be labeled as a killer in your neighborhood when you were really innocent? That being said, I hope the cat slaying stops. I would be horrified if something happened to my neighbors' cats and I would be very hesitant to let any of my pets out in the yard after this incident.

Oh my goodness! In my opinion that i bet that he's a psycho for sure. But what is his clear reason of doing such things? What are the factors that made him do those gruesome killings to these innocent cats? The affected community shouldn't be relieved just yet because the police needs to investigate further if the suspect has other accomplices of this feline manslaughter.
