According to Modern Express, citing People magazine, a man in Texas, US, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for more than a dozen allegations of cruelty to animals, including killing cats in an animal shelter.
The man's name is Caswell, only 23 years old. He was supposed to provide care for the animals in the animal shelter, but he committed heinous acts. He claimed that cat abuse was due to life pressure and other reasons. The police played some of his cat abuse videos during the trial, which were extremely cruel and caused the jury members to cry on the spot, while some of the more bloody and "too disturbing" clips were not played.
The local prosecutor said, 'I have seen some terrible things. However, I have never actually seen this specific cruel behavior in the video.' According to media reports, Caswell admitted to the police that due to the pressure brought by the baby at home and the inability to access pornographic content, he vented his frustration on an innocent kitten.
The video obtained by the police shows that Caswell abused kittens recklessly in the shelter. He threw the kittens against the wall, stomped on them with his feet, and even cruelly smashed their heads and necks. The media also pointed out that the video clearly shows him throwing the body of the kitten into the trash can.
According to CBS News, according to the local prosecutor's office, Caswell will not be eligible for parole until the end of his sentence. This verdict not only severely punishes his cruel behavior, but also sounds the alarm for society to protect animals and resist animal abuse.
