EVIL BOY, 12, CHARGED WITH TORTURING KITTEN

ALIVE

AN evil 12-year-old boy who threw this kitten against a wall, hit it with a stick and pulled out a knife and threatened to cut it has been charged with animal cruelty.  
Thankfully the seven-week-old animal survived his onslaught and another child smacked the knife out of his hand before he could complete his horrific attack.
Thinking it was dead they picked it up and put it in a box, but when the unresponsive cat was picked up by an animal control officer it opened its eyes and meowed.
The kitten was taken to the vet and was treated for a broken leg
and bruises to the lungs and abdomen, but it is expected to recover from it's injuries and they are hoping to adopt it.
A source at the vet who treated it said: "This was not roughhousing, this was vicious cruelty. I hope they get the child help, because anyone who attack a defenseless creature like this needs it.
"We're just glad he didn't cut it."
The 12-year-old from Norfolk, VA was charged with one count of misdemeanor cruelty.
