This shows you are not as invisible as you think online. Earlier the Coast of Yamen posted this rather nasty link in the best of faith, which naturally caused a storm earlier today on youtube. I have never seen anything like it. Anyway, whilst the youtube video has quite obviously been removed and the account suspended, someone did a little detective work and found out who the person torturing the cat is:

Given his now closed youtube account contained loads of racist filth as well, and he tortures animals, I am quite happy to link his identity. To quote someone in the link above, he must be shitting bricks. The detective work gleaning his identity in the link is more than impressive for a Sunday

I admire the desire to hunt these little bastards but I'm sure there'll be some other kids that will be mistakenly targeted for abuse too. Just hope it doesn't get out of hand.

and the police will get involved and have some serious words with his parents, and him. Given the cruelty demonstrated in both videos on that profile the guy actually needs some serious help. He tortured a cat, that's pretty unstable and deranged behavior, what if he takes it a step further and does the same with a child; and if not dealt with at this stage, be the next teenage gunman taking out a high school. Weirdly whilst typing this an email just hit my inbox:
Thank you for your compassion in contacting us regarding these disturbing videos. Rest assured that PETA is working closely with law enforcement officials to determine the exact location of these cats, secure their safety, and ensure that their abusers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Please be advised, however, that some unethical people appear to be taking this opportunity to publicly accuse people in several different states, and that law enforcement is already investigating these allegations and has—so far—discovered no hard evidence to link these people to the videos. We strongly encourage you to allow PETA and the authorities to proceed, rather than contacting any alleged abusers directly. If you have first hand information or evidence about these videos, we implore you to contact local law enforcement immediately, as well as letting us know.
Sincerely,
The PETA staff

You want PETA to make rational actions? I can imagine their hit-squads closing in on those kids now.
*not serious*

PETA are excellent at media campaigns, so even if this doesn't hit a fan I expect it will hit the media.

likely take the cat and destroy it. They're good at that.

if you think any of that's an acceptable way to treat an animal for amusement you are a bit of a cunt

And some kids broke into the zoo at night and stoned a baby wallaby to death. The public outrage was incredible.
They got away with a slap on the wrists, identities protected because they were minors. One of the mothers appeared in public basically saying she didn't care.
I find this sort of thing physically sickening.

Surely it would have been more appropriate to put these little shite hawks in a pen with a few horny male red kangaroos and just let nature take its course.
Id like to see this cat torturing twunt smeared in mince meat and then tied up in a lions cage.

and not watched the video, but seeing the screencaps made me go and hug my cat...
There was a comment in one of the thread on 4chan which summed it up for me:
'I've been around and had cats all my life, and even worked at an animal shelter for a few months. When a cat knows he's beat, he WON'T fight back, and will just sit there and wait for it to be over as quickly as possible. It's very sad. They only fight back when they know they have a chance to defend themselves or a chance to run. A housecat who knows there's nowhere to go will just stand there and take it knowing there's no escape. Even if you're gonna kill them, they just sit there and take it hopng it'll be over fast. You can even see it in the video. There's a point where the cat stops even trying to run and just waits for it.'

identified the little shit seems to have gone from this board.
New York state somewhere.
Just make sure he can't have children and everything is fine.

But i worry about PETA involvement. This is a job for the police. Whist I imagine beating those sick pair with nail encrusted sticks, PETA would actually do so. And video it. And post it on You Tube for amusement.
I find PETA as sickening as the people they 'prosecute' in their own non-democracy violent way.

whatever daft wee lassie that gets involved with this twisted individual.
And any children that they may spawn.
The kid isn't the problem, the parents are.
I'd still like to know what pressure b3ta caved in to, that meant a post was either deleted or edited

How did this "detective work" get carried out?
How can we be certain this is the guy?
I could post anyone I didn't like and they'd have a mob after them right now.

I think taking the pet away and some counselling should suffice.

the young fellow in question, as is evident in one of the photographs, wears hats indoors! 6 of the best, I say!

"The horrifying day may be over for the cat, but it is just getting started for its abusers. "We'll put it together and take it to the D.A. It will be up to the D.A. whether or not he files charges or not. Our job is to put the investigation together as a case and take it to the DA and that's what we'll do," said Stradley.
Stradley says the teens responsible were released to their parents by the DA and they and their lawyer will meet with investigators to determine their fate on Tuesday. Dusty, the cat, is alive and was taken to a veterinarian where it will remain until the investigation is complete."

as long as there are no mislead attacks on people who have nothing to do with this (which i fear could happen), then this kid is going to get bummed by the law. Just desserts.

The tone of that article implies the internets were in on it and it was posted around for shits and giggles.
