he (or parents) let their cat out to wander around. thats illegal.
he then plays victim when they get an outcome like this.

of course killing cats is stuffty. im not in support of those kids randomly attacking cats for fun.

even i had many reasons for culling neighborhood cats in my day

if you find your cat, kill the kids and feed them to it

i couldnt quote the exact ordinance since i dont know his county. but im finding stuffloads of them from florida counties.
abandonment is what OP describes they did (the legal term)
and thats a 1st degree misdemeanor with a 700 dollar fine.
all detail the need for a "controlled" pet with either fencing or leash. all apply to dogs and cats.

i could literally list 40 counties all with similar laws.
but the first 10 pages here have nearly all of em  https://www.google.com/#q=cat+leash+law+florida+2014

only certain counties require leash laws so theres no way of telling if it was illegal or not
what county are you in

[Aut0]

if it is illegal than it's really poorly enforced, taking from what I've previously seen in the thread.

its not about enforcement. most smaller laws exist so its easy to find the blame. or insurance related.
maybe they cant find or punish the animal abuser if its some random guy in town. but they can still ticket the owner for having cat guts squished all over the road.

Lots of people let their cats roam free, it's pretty normal.

them suburbanites sure are dumb.

You mean it's not normal for cats to walk outdoors on their own?

I don't know if the laws are different in the Netherlands but in my neighborhood, pretty much everyone lets their cat walk outside. Whenever I go outside I always encounter at least one cat.

Just like this in Jacksonville, Florida. In California I don't see any animals except dogs and even then they're on leashes

Pretty sure is normal in the UK too.
