Wow. Just wow. From The Consumerist:

A three-month-old gray tabby kitten was tortured. Mike Merrill, the
only witness to the crime, said, "There was four people spray painting
and kicking it from side to side."

When Merrill got to the kitten, he said it looked lifeless. He said,
"Basically seemed like it was almost dead…spray painted all the way
down its back."

Animal Control officers rushed the kitten to a veterinarian with concerns of internal injuries and severe shock.

Police said the men accused of spray painting and kicking the kitten
are contract workers for Comcast. The cable company released a
statement saying, "We are outraged and deeply saddened by this
incident. We are fully cooperating with police and will take
appropriate action once we have all the facts."

I wish I knew why people would do such a thing, maybe then we could stop it. Poor kitten.
