Six boys accused of stoning a cat to death in an alley in October will not be prosecuted on felony animal cruelty charges, officials said Thursday. Instead, the boys will have to write 20-page reports on the value of pets and other animals to humans, attend school regularly and stay out of trouble until classes end May 29, Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk said.
"This is not to say that those boys didn't kill the cat," Sistrunk said. "We have that evidence."
Once the boys write and submit their papers to his office, they also will have to attend a session in the courthouse at which they will view a video presentation created by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Sistrunk said.
Essays?! If they don't meet the requirements, they could get up to a full year of probation--that'll teach them a lesson. Whether these boys killed the cat or just attached the cat to the fence to throw stones at him/her, these are boys who could use some psychological help.
