KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ A 19-year-old man has been charged with kicking a cat
like a ball on a Kansas City high school football field in an act of apparent
cruelty captured on video and posted to Snapchat.
Johnathan Taylor, of Kansas City, was charged Thursday with misdemeanor animal
abuse. Court records say the principal of Center High School told an animal
control officer about the video and said she believed the person seen kicking
the cat was Taylor, a former student. A cat was found dead at the school.
Police say the person who recorded the May 22nd video also identified Taylor as
the man kicking the cat in the video. A voice can be heard on the recording
yelling “field goal!”
In a police interview, Taylor denied any involvement.
