You may had read elsewhere about a French Facebook user who posted two videos of a man throwing a kitten against a wall. The original videos were soon deleted, but members of 4chan’s notorious /b/ board investigated and identified the animal abuser. French police were notified, and they went to Farid Ghilas’s home Friday and arrested him. The kitten, a five-month-old named Oscar, was confiscated by France’s Society to Protect Animals (SPA). The Society says that Oscar is being treated at a veterinary clinic for a broken leg. They posted a video of the kitten on Facebook. The kitten’s rightful owner was found and has given consent for necessary treatment. Oscar is expected to recover.
Farid Ghilas was sentenced on Monday to one year in prison for animal cruelty. He is also barred from over owning an animal. -via Daily of the Day
