Sign: Teen Enjoyed Brutally Killing Kitten with Brass Knuckles and Bowling Ball

Published: September 19, 2024 at 02:07 PM Author: PENNY EIMS

MERIDEN, CT – A kitten in Meriden suffered an unthinkable, unbearably cruel death at the hands of an 18-year-old neighbor earlier this year. The seven-month-old kitten, Noodles, escaped from his owner’s apartment in late February and Carmello Roberts, a teen who lived next door, brutally ended his life.

A word of warning, the following description of Noodles’ death is difficult to read.

According to court documents, Roberts β€œwhacked the cat with a big knife…punched the cat with brass knuckles” and β€œsmashed the cat’s head with a bowling ball,” and then texted his friends that the kitten’s eyes popped out, telling them that he “enjoyed it.”

The brutal incident resulted in a level D felony charge; Malicious wound kill animal. There is a second case against Roberts (N07M-CR24-0356745-S) with charges for Carrying a dangerous weapon, a Class E Felony and Interfere with an officer, a Class A Misdemeanor.

What Carmello Roberts did to this kitten is appalling and vicious! Desmond’s Army Animal Law Advocates in Connecticut tells Animal Victory β€œRoberts has been in and out of the system since he was a juvenile.”

If you are outraged and want to see him held accountable, please add your name to the petition today! It is critical that animal cruelty is recognized by the courts as a serious violent offense because of the strong link toΒ violent crimes against humans.

Note: Roberts is still in custody; each charge has a $25,000 bail requirement with a minimum of 7 percent ($1750 for each charge). The next court hearing is October 4th at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T.

WHY THIS PETITION MATTERS:Β 

We the undersigned demand Carmello Roberts be held accountable for his vicious killing of Noodles, a seven-month-old kitten. This violent man savagely beat an innocent kitten to death, boasted about what he did, and admitted to ENJOYING it. We and our supporters demand Carmello Roberts face the maximum sentence for the charge stemming from this violent incident; it is critical that he face true repercussions for his actions. Additionally, given this teen’s violent tendencies, we demand this man be prohibited from owning or residing with animals in the future.Β 

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.
