• A young girl holds a cat moments before it dies. This girl (she did not want to give her name) lives at the Walt Whitman housing projects in Brooklyn and witnessed a group of youths sic a pitbul on this cat. As she describes the scene, the dog grabbed the cat by the torso and visciously shook the life from it. The boys, who were probably no older than 15, cheered as the dog mauled the cat.
