Someone threw a kitten out of a truck at my 87 year old grandfather's house about a week ago. He called my dad and my dad picked up the 4 week old baby kitten and brought it home for us to save. We tried everything but the kitten died. It had a upper respitory infection. We gave it antibiotics and food and tried so hard to save the little baby, but he died anyway. I cant believe the number of loosers in this world, and I hope this person who threw the kitten out the window suffers the rest of his/her life.

Hello, Someone came up on my porch yesterday before dawn and took a small cat condo room with four kittens in it...I got up after dawn and saw the mother cat had her throat slashed...later two dead kittens were thrown in my front yard...not there in the morning..they were already stiff...called the police..two came out...did a real investigation, but no on e saw anything...talked to neighbor diagonally across the corner and said the cat condo room was found with another dead kitten at the side of his house...at six pm I heard a thump and a kitten , last one fell from a tree by the house..alive and ok..what kind of a sick f... kills kittens..? Neighborhood is a bit inner city...Hispanic... TW Fort Worth, TX

That girl is a disgrace to the human race and society. A normal person would not do what she did to a helpless little kitten. There is obviously something wrong with her and she is not normal at all. Her past history of violent crimes against animals as well as people should have been signs showing that she is an abusive person. A one year jail sentence is not long enough for what she did. This girl should have gotten the same mandatory as if she were to kill a person. Animals are living and breathing creatures just like people and why not have the same laws in killing whether it is an animal or a person. As for the 14-year old accomplice, she is old enough to think for herself that it is not right to kill an animal. If she is that stupid to commit such a horrific crime, she should face adult court not family court just because of her age. Both these girls should get the maximum jail term as if they were to kill a human being. Would they like it if someone were to put them in the oven and turn it on? We need tougher laws for people who abuses and kills animals.

i disagree with dimension x i hope she does not get beat to death by another prisoner

This piece of filth ruined the name Cheyenne for me forever. Every time I hear that name I think of her ugly face and ugly soul.

That girl needs to be in jail longer than one year. She is a monster and deserves to stay in jail for what she has done. Better yet, she deserves a death sentence.

she is a monster!!!!

killing a kitten what a jerk he should be sent to Death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that doesn't make any sense she could of put that kitten up for adoption or gave to someone

I hope some other inmate beats her to death.

It is wrong that she ONLY got 1 year in prison. She should get way more and collosal fines and counseling. I read a man who kicked a poor cat in the face repeatedly faced up to two years in prison. She has a record and brought a 14 year old to do it with her. NO Matter what she should get way way more, anyone should for something as sick as that. Why didn't they? What she did makes me think she should burn.

This is absolutely sick. Who the hell did she think she was? One year in prison for such a horrible act of violence and cruelty against a helpless little 8-week-old kitten is not considered justice in my opinion. Honestly, I think there should be a mandatory sentence of 5 years for someone to commit such a horrible act. Plus pay loads of money in fines, AND get some counseling. If they still don't feel sorry for what they did and haven't learned their lesson after all of that, they can burn in hell for all I care. Rot in pieces. There are some sick people out there, and she is one of them. I'm a firm believer in animal rights, and I will continue to fight for animals until the day I die. I wish I could have said more on here about how I feel about this but my comment would have been deleted.

I am on my way to becoming an animal attorney so I can make sure ppl like this suffer for their disgustingly immoral and sickening crimes. Each and every day we get closer to more justice being served for animals so keep it up everybody! Support animal legal defense funds, your shelters, and DO NOT PUT YOUR BLINDERS ON!!

Pshycological treatment will not change these 2 vermins, it's obvious they don't have a conscience, they're nothing but bullies picking on defenseless creatures, how Brave! Hopefully one of these days they'll pick on the wrong target & get what they deserve. I sure hope so

This person needs to be put away in prison for a long time. There needs to be justice for these aniamls. I would like to do the same thing to that person..eye for an eye...agree with amanda...this person needs to awaiting in a 500 degree oven in jail...

that is just wrong for what they did they did to be in prison longer

My mother told me this story a couple of days ago. It's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard. When I woke up that morning, this horrid injustice was the first thought that seeped into my mind. I keep imagining the poor kitten's soft padding burning off, screaming for help. I almost cried again while typing that. This is murder, a kitten can feel just as much pain as any of us. One year!? What is wrong with our system?? She needs to be put away for at least 10. And absolutely no chance of ever being around someone's pet, let alone own one herself. She needs major psychiatric help. If she's willing to do that to a kitten, she obviously doesn't have a fraction of humanity left in her body and she will continue to put the innocent through horrendous pain.

It's sad that one year in prison for this act is called justice. Have we progressed so slowly in fighting animal cruelty that that sentence is justifable? She gets to own another kitten in three years?? That is absolutely not justice! We need stricter punishment for these people, especially repeat offenders! They should also be put on some kind of animal cruelty registry to make their community aware of their history. Everytime, I open my preheated oven and the heat burns my eyes, I am physically sickened to imagine the pain the kitten suffered through to its death while these sick, evil girls watched!

what she did to tiger lily is horrible!!! she should be put in a oven so then she`d know what it feels like to be burned alive.I think she should serve life for that! Thats just like killing a human. BRING JUSTICE FOR TIGER LILY!!!!!

I thought her sentence was to be heard in October. She needs a longer sentence and some big fat fines? Why, WHY, WHY should she ever have the permission to own a pet of her own again. THis is no justice for TIGER LILY. The system has failed again.

I am glad that she got what she deserved!

Contrary to Tyler's comment, there is a BIG difference between killing a deer or cow for food and killing an animal out of spite. And a BABY one at that! One year in prison isn't going to work. She needs psychiatric evaluation. What happens to her should be based on that psychiatric evaluation. The same with the 14 year old. And the evaluation should take into account ALL past deeds.

I think what annoys me most about this situation is that she has a long history of hurting people and animals. To me this points out a lack of behavior/mental assessments before letting this 'person' return to society, I imagine she would have the same 'remorse' if it were a 8 week old human. There is never enough justice for the innocent.

this is so appauling i cant believe anyone could have the heart to do this, im from south africa and stumbled across this story trying to see if i could help cats, i am so disappointed that this girl is only going to get a year in prison.The two girls that were in on this should be sent to a mental hospital for at least 5 years. If she wasnt remorseful she will never get better and will carry on doin sick cruel things to animals or even people! this is really shocking and has really upset me, i hope they get what they deserve for this :'(

With no remorse, she obviously won't get better in prison. She should have gone to a mental institution for the criminally insane where she would be kept indefinitely until she was "well" since that day will never come. People who abuse animals often abuse people, too, so I hope someone will be watching her when she gets out. Killing animals is how Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy got started. A year in prison is not justice for that poor kitten.

I was so glad to hear that she got a year in jail., for puting a kitten in an oven. I think the courts should have a mandatory sentence of one year if someone does cruel things to animals. no if , buts and whys!!!.maybe people wont do such bad things to them, and think first of what will happen to them

I think it is counter productive to send a human to prison for killing a cat, especially a MINOR. Get the person some counseling. Prison is just going to make it worse and cost the taxpayer a buncha money better off feeding dogs and cats in shelters. So, you going to put the shelter people in jail for euthanizing the animals when they have to ??? Get a grip.

I cried and cried ...when I was 17 I was campaiging for animal rights and cared deeply for living beings .... this young person needs psychological assesment for a good 5 years or more and never be allowed to have pets or work with children or animals for their protection. This is a young person who needs help desperately before she hurts a living being. This has hurt me to my core. I have had my cats since they were kittens I would protect them with my own life if I had to I would die for them before they were hurt. I am deeply saddened by this news. I hope this young person evolves into a balanced human being.

There is no justice one year is not enough to evolve a human being to compassion for life, this young person needs to be taught a lesson and needs mental help, this is a sad sad story there are no word to describe the emotions and thoughts of what happened to the poor kitten who suffered ......I believe this is the fault of the parent.....they need to be examined in their upbringing of this child and held responsible to produce such an unbalanced monster and threat to living beings in society. This is not just murder this is beyond murder. This person had some serious issues throughout her life.

Cheyanne Cherry was given only one year because she was found "less culpable" by the courts as it was her 14 year old accomplice who actually put Tiger Lily in the oven.I do not agree that this vicious and heartless person was less culpable for her role in this crime. Her agreeing to this crime and not removing the kitten make her as guilty as the person who put the kitten in the oven. This really was an inhuman and evil act and both should have to face the nature of their actions for the rest of their lives. I am so pleased at the response from people. It is silence and uncaring that makes these evil scum bags think that their crimes are okay or that they will get away with them. I am sure justice will be served here someday and I sure hope it is. Update: As this crime breached her probation, Cheyanne Cherry's case has been reviewed and resentencing will take place of Oct. 2/09 in The Bronx.

Low life, from beginning to end. That girl will be watched by animal righs people for her lifetime. If she pulls this again, she'll spend a lot more time in jail. No let up, folks. Great work, ASPCA.

This story made me sick for days. I am very glad that our court systems are punishing crazy people like this. I don't even think 1 year is enough, but at least she was sentenced.

Thank God something was done about this. I hope to see more harsh punishments in the future. Remember, anyone that kills an animal is a really messed up individual.. who knows what they will do next. (Usually end up a murderer/serial killer)

that is terrible!!!!!!!!!! that kitten deserves better care. i wish she had more time so the ASPCA can save the kitten. i cant beleive that girl would do such a thing! she shoud be in prison for 20 years! stil that is less worse then how that kitten died. i dont know why people would do such terrible terrible things!

OMG! That is.... I cried reading this! I have two cats at home I hope Tiger Lily is safe and far away from Cheyanne Cherry up in heaven!

the kitten shouldent have died the teen who killed it should be in jail alot longer. I will do everything i can to help stop animal cruilty.

I agree with what others have said. LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME! Although I applaud the agents for arresting her, Cheyenne Cherry should be cooked herself, along with her sick 14-year-old accomplice. The fact that she wasn't even remorseful tells me she's a worthless human being and doesn't deserve the leniency shown to her.

Unapologetically pled guilty? Appeared to show no remorse for her role? She's an inhuman monster which should be locked away from civilized humans in a dark, dirty hole 'till the end of her days. 1 year in prison and 3 years without pets? WTH!

This woman should have got more time, and should never be allowed to have pets again, she obviously has no compassion for life. This story made me sick to my stomach and brought tears to my eyes. Just like in the Michael Vick case, what's to keep her from doing something like this to another animal, or a person? That woman is sick and needs to be treated as such.

There has to be something wrong with her mentally for her to do that, that's just sick and twisted. A person like that has all the signs of being a serial killer, Just wait, when she gets out of prison after that measely year, she'll eventually be back in it for killing a human being. She deserved far worse than she got, I think she should get a psychiatric evaluation and be locked in an institution for the rest of her life.

Killig a person in an oven is too easy and still cruel.. Two wrongs dont make a right. Pin a bunch of pictures of abused aniamls in her cell.. Make her work in a shelter under supervison so all those animals can stare at her.... they know...

WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT TO AN INNOCENT KITTEN????? THAT CHICK IS A WACK-JOB!!!!

1 year- a flea poop! 3 years no pets-she deserves a LIFELONG prohibition!

I hope the other inmates where she will do her time find out what a sick coward she is and dole out some retribution!! Thanks to the ASPCA!!

I cannot believe someone would do such a thing! She put the 8 week old kitty in an 500 degree oven!and she also hurt a yorkshire terrier she should that kitten deserves more that girl should get cooked in an oven and cats and kittens should watch HER get cooked in a 500 degree oven

I cannot believe kids these days. Cherry and the 14 yr old deserve an old fashion switch whooping. The 14 yr old should be tried as an adult. This smack makes me sooooo mad. Their parents should be ashamed of themselves for raising such idiotic children......

I honestly can't believe someone can be so passive after baking a kitten alive. And to do something so hateful to an innocent 8 week old cat? I can't see how someone would be able to stomach that.

I hope that she spend's her time in an awaiting 500-degree oven in jail!!!!

1 YEAR IS AFFENSIVE TO ME FOR WHAT THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE CHEYANNE CHERRY DID TO THAT INNOCENT KITTEN. JUST IMAGINE WHAT THAT KITTEN WENT THROUGH IN THAT OVEN!! I AM SICK JUST THINKING OF IT. THE LAWS ARE A JOKE IN THIS COUNTRY WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO JAIL FOR YEARS AND YEARS BECAUSE THEY HAD OR SOLD POT BUT A MURDERER LIKE THIS WASTE OF LIFE GETS ONLY ONE YEAR!! IT IS AN OUTRAGE!! GOD HELP US ALL!!!

It is a good thing for people like Cheyenne Cherry and her low life friend that I am not allowed to dole out the punishment for a crime like this. I cannot imagine what that poor kitten went through. I say, let the punishment fit the crime- cook Cherry and all involved with the brutal and painful death of that poor little kitten!!

Knowing that a horrible person such as this was brought to justice, make's me even more proud to be an ASPCA supporter!! ANYONE who could do this on purpose to an innocent animal should be on death row themselves!!

oh my goodness thats horrible!

Cheyenne Cherry should have received more time for her crime. Stricter Laws need to be passed that punish individuals whom choose to abuse animals. I second the applaud the ASPCA for her arrest. We need tougher laws.

I think that is absolutley horrible what that girl did. I think that poor innocent kitten deserves more justice by that girl getting cooked in an oven.

As a member of the ASPCA, I applaud the agents for arresting her. I only wish that she got more time.
