Man Jailed For Feeding Kitten To His Pet Snake

by Earl Morningstarr

An Arizona man has been jailed for a shocking case of animal cruelty.

28 year old Jeremy Tuffly was arrested on Monday after a video was turned over to the police showing Tuffly encouraging his pet python to strike a defenseless six week old kitten. The snake was uninterested in the kitten, despite many attempts made by Tuffly to get the snake to strike.

If this wasn’t bad enough once Tuffly lost patience with the snake, which did not harm the kitten, the sick little monkey picked the kitten up and drop-kicked it like a football across his yard.

All this took place back in 2004, but unfortunately for Tuffly the police are still able to act on the evidence as the statute of limitations for animal abuse in Arizona is seven years.

This is the Fox News video report, which does contain some graphic scenes where the kitten is thrown at the python.
