Brevard County, Florida – A Florida man was taken down by Brevard County Sheriff’s deputies after he shot a cat in the face with a high-powered BB gun. According to the authorities, Lucas Stedman shot the cat in the eye because it “didn’t get along with his cat.”
Sheriff Wayne Ivey berated the cat killer, saying “On May 11, he decided that it would be a good idea to shoot a cat in the eye with a high-powered BB gun and kill the cat,” Ivey said. “I don’t know what kind of outrageous nutjob thinks that’s a good idea.”
Stedman was arrested for aggravated animal cruelty, a felony, and booked into jail on $50,000 bond.
Aggravated animal cruelty is one of the most serious animal-related offenses under Florida law. It involves intentional acts that result in a cruel death or the excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain and suffering upon an animal.
In Florida, aggravated animal cruelty is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison, fines of up to $10,000, or both.

I want this mo stet to feel what that poor cat felt!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬❤️
Felony charges for animal torture and killing!!
Keep this monster away from animals! Please prosecute him and jail him for a very long time…the rest of his life would be a good start.
prosecute to the fullest
I agree, get this creature off the streets. The laws need to be stronger against such cruelty. When will our courts defend the victim and prosecute the criminal?
lock him up!!! He is a monster😈
Perpetrators of violence against animals should be punished as if their victims were human.
Shoot that MF in the eye!
Yes please!!!
. ..
Prosecute him to the fullest and more jailed time than 5 yrs, heavy fined and never let him own a pet or animal for the rest of his life.
I say shoot the bastard in the eye with his gun and see what happens. which hopefully he suffers and dies. Give th the same punishment as they give animals and maybe they’ll think twice!!

I hope this piece of shit gets a judge who is as serious about this knd of cruelty as Sheriff Ivey and actually gives out the strongest punishment.
Another useless piece of shite that needs to be put away for the max of 5 years. When he gets out someone should be waiting for this prick and give him the same as he what he did to this cat. If it was up to me the punishment for animal cruelty would be the death penalty because you know as sure as shit once these fuckers get out they will do the same thing again only they will be more careful about doing it. The only way to stop that is to eliminate them legally.

This individual needs to be locked up and left there for the rest of his worthless life. He needs to be held accountable for the pain, suffering, and death of that innocent cat that did not deserve to die for no reason at all. If this guy is not punished accordingly; he will continue killing innocent animals.
Maximum m punishment for this filfth!!!! Enough is enough!!!!
Shoot this moron with his own high powered BB gun. Make sure it’s in the eye just like how he shot this cat. Effing waste of space to kill an animal for absolutely no reason besides you not liking it because it didn’t “get along” with your cat. Well guess what you moronic imbecile?? That gives free range to everyone who doesn’t “get along” with you to just kill your worthless ass. Woo-hoo!
I didn’t see a button to click on to sign a petion asking for the most severe punishment for this POS in hopes that he will learn his lesson. I’ll be looking out for one to become available later.

It’s troubling that a cat owner would even consider hurting another cat. Apparently it was a stray because no owner is mentioned, so why not borrow a trap and take the poor thing to a shelter? Or if it’s an intact male, perhaps TNR would fix the problem. I pray that this killer gets the maximum punishment.
J’espère que ce type payera cher , très cher, ce crime commis envers un animal innocent.
POS indeed!
Same to him.
Shoot it now but don’t use bbs
Wtf? Probably better for you to keep your opinions to your self if that’s what you have to say.
What a disgusting POS! What a horrible thing to do to an innocent animal because you didn’t get along with it. Put him on the national registry. Fine the shit out of him and put his sorry ass in jail for a long time! Florida is no longer messing around with these animal abusers. They’re tacking them to the wall, which is about time!! other states need to pick it up as well. Put these animal abusers where they belong in jail and away from society.
