A year in jail?? Not nearly long enough! This girl is heartless -- has not a single ounce of compassion in her body. She's dangerous. If she can do this to a kitten -- she could do it to a child.

How can people do these things?! I heard about this story a few weeks ago and every time that I read it my heart breaks a little bit more. I'm completely losing faith in humanity (apart from all of you from care 2 who care just as much about this.) What few people there are left in the world who love the animals seem to be powerless to stop this cruelty, and those in the judge's chair don't realise just how cruel an act this was!!!

The fact that the kitten was not a human baby does not in any way mean that she did not feel the same horror and pain that a child would have felt, and most likely will feel one day very soon because of the insanely weak laws, not only in New York, but everywhere!! This person will be out in way too short a period of time, and as is a proven fact, will go right back to her horrendous ways!!! WAKE UP, court systems!!! CHANGE THOSE LAWS!!! Place more value on the lives of animals and you will go a long way toward saving the lives of children!! PLEASE!! Do something before too many more innocent live are taken by murderers like Cheyenne and her friend. And one life is too many!!

Next time she sticks out her tongue, I hope someone cuts it out of her mouth.

And one year is definitely not long enough. And I agree that hopefully she will get the crap beat out of her in jail.

We signed the petition. Right?? There were over 21.000 signatures and those letters were supposed for judge Byrne at the Bronx Supreme Court. Maybe we should write him a letter and tell him what kind of a stupid ass he is to let that bitch get away with only 1 year. That sucker is nuts in my eyes.

Not nearly as sick as the system which treats animal abuse as a "misdemeanour", the equivalent of dropping gum wrapper on the sidewalk. I have heard that in some states it isn't even illegal! This mini Palin only did what she was permitted to do.

One year is the perfect amount of time for that twisted skank to plot her next heartless cold blooded act --most likely of revenge to another animal.

i hope someone kills this scumbag filthy skank, put her in an incinerator or maybe cremate her alive, how about that, but it still wouldn't bring the little kitten back, someone needs to make an exception for a lobotomy for her and the other kid, or better yet, set her on fire and then let her burn until she's not quite dead and then leave her to die.

agree with you all. This girl is just right MEAN I wonder what kind of parents would raise a monster. I have two kittens and if anyone every hurt them they would not be seen or heard from for a long time. When you have 2 cousins that are US Marshalls and 3 that are FBI agents they know how to take of something like her. Plus a cousin that is a Bonty Hunter and he would love to get hold of this thing. Rest in Peace little kitten. St Francis will take care of you know.

Cherry is an evil sadistic murderer and the beotch belongs in prison for the REST OF HER LIFE!!!!!! I hope like hell she has a cell-mate who LOVES animals and makes her life as miserable as possible. They will let this monster out of jail and she WILL DO IT AGAIN! She has a rap sheet as long as my arm, she is a killer-she is a danger to society!! The justice system FAILED in this case!!!
Every time I think of that sweet kitten I cry all over again...my God I can't wrap my mind around ANY of THIS!!!

All of the comments above, mirror my feelings on this incident. How very sad indeed, that this little kitten never had a chance to be loved. This girl sticking her tongue out at the activists, shows no compassion or remorse. Plea bargain, my A--!! Stiffer sentences for abusers, period. Human or animal. Long prison sentences! and hefty fines!! Ruin their lives as they have ruined others. TY, Maria, and also...noted with sadness for this little baby kitty.

For those who think she deserves a life sentence, I have to disagree. Not for the reason you think. I worked as a correction officer in Michigan. In the prison I worked, these inmates ate better food and well balanced too, something the majority of people I knew could not afford on their paychecks in the outside world. They never have to work to have their shelter, clothing, food, medical, schooling and entertainment, be it movies, reading, some crafts allowed for some inmates. You get the idea. No a life sentence is too good for her and she will not suffer, unless at the hands of animal loving inmates, we can hope. I say lets hope she decides to take a job inside, prisoners can earn a mere pittance for a days labor to say buy cigarettes if still a smoking allowed prison or for snacks from the prison store. If she does take a job, I recommend she work in the kitchen, where some of the animal loving inmates no doubt work and let them give her a roast she will never get forget. Tonight's menu:Cheyenne Cherry Cattiatore.

We do have so....many sick minded people in the world and people who don't care about animals at all,even in our gov.,it's very sad!Laws need to be better and people need to be hit where it counts.We need to end all animal cruelity,so we need to kick the law makers,who don't care about welfare of animals to the curb and get good compassionate law makers in,who can help make the difference animals need.The law stands behind alot of cruelity for one reason or another and our kids are being taught its ok.Kick this case where it hurts and maybe the smiles will not be there!

This is a good story for finding new Care2 Friends who are enraged at animal cruelty as you are.

If you go to the "Noted By" area and pass the cursor over the avatar, a description window will pop up.

If you pass the cursor over the avatar inside the description window, you can see whether the Care2 member is already a Friend. (A Friend's description window says "Send Message." A Non-Friend's description window says "Add as friend.")

If the member is not a Friend yet, with the right-click menu still open, you can click "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window."

Then you can read your fellow animal cruelty opponent's My Page, and "Add as friend" (if a public profile exists).

The same principle applies to recruiting new Friends from all Care2 stories.

Or rather, if the member is not a Friend yet, with the little description window still open, pass the cursor over the (second) avatar within the little description window, and click "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window."

Rest assured if there is one of this social
parasite then there are a million.

And, if some of you have followed many of my
comments then you can understand why I advocate
so strongly birth control, parenting classes in the
educational system & over population control.

It is more than likely any teacher this so called
human had could have predicated this behavior
long before it happened. But, it had to happen
before it would be seen as a truth.

This woman child's behavior has more than
likely been handed down from one generation
to another & like a speeding train no one
was educated enough to see it coming,
except those who are educated & no one listened.

This social sl*t will be in the news sometime
down the road for child abuse/murder.

I've predicted as such before & it came true.

Sherri O: We do not need to contact any animal loving inmates and there are many. Trust me, the inmates know about all the new guards, inmates and others that will be coming into their turf history weeks before they arrive on the inside. They will know exactly the second she enters the prison and hopefully will give her the welcoming she so fully deserves. And don't forget the guards who also love animlas, some of them may her her to "adjust" to her new surroundings.

I also viewed some pictures on one of these sites where they experiment on animals and there was a 7 0r 9 picture strip of some depraved thing of a person who actually showed putting Zippo lighter fluid on a kitten and lighting it up. The poor thing ran around and when the fire didn't stay lit, they added more accelerate and relit the poor kitten until it fied. Even my mother who is not a cat person said the same thing should be done to that person.
What type of people are these who have children and let them become this anti social?
