A 22 year old from Virginia Beach, VA pleaded guilty to killing a kitten a few days after getting it through Craigslist. A five year prison sentence on the felony animal cruelty charge was mostly suspended, but sent a message that animal cruelty is a serious crime.

Kevin T. Bramble was arrested after his four month old kitten died from blunt force trauma on March 1, 2013. Officers responding to a domestic disturbance report learned that Bramble kitten the kitten earlier in the day by hurling it against the wall. Bramble told authorities the kitten angered him.

Court documents say that Bramble killed the kitten just 3 days after getting it through Craigslist.

After accepting a plea deal on a charge of felony animal cruelty on June 26, Bramble was sentenced by Judge Frederick Lowe to 5 years in prison, with all but 6 months suspended and credit for time served. He has been in jail since his arrest in March.  Bramble is banned from owning an animal for the five year period.

  1. Why would they let him plea and why did they say he couldn’t own an animal for ONLY five years. He should NEVER own an animal. The way I see it, once an abuser, always an abuser. He should never in his life time be able to own one or be in contact with one. He should never have one in his home or in his yard.

  2. This POS should never be allowed to have even goldfish and I hope any woman that thinks he’s worth marrying should know this and NEVER have children.

  3. Patricia Stanley, have to say, your comment about not considering him a human being and you calling him a pig is so wrong. Pigs are the one of the most nurturing, caring (and clean) animals around. As for this guy not being a human being, it is only a human, not an animal, who would inflict cruelty onto another creature. xxx

  4. This man needs to be reformed not tortured. Anyone who responds with hate and cries of sadistic vengence is part of the problem. Humans are a dangerously sick species of animal. People arnt born like this man, they are corrupted into such a state by a broken society and inexcusable circumstances. How do you know this man didn’t grow up being beaten and raped. As long as we respond to violence with more violence/revenge/ punishment, we are not only perpetuating the collective suffering of sentient beings but we are just as much a part of the problem as this guy. Everyone has their cross to bear, everyone suffers and responds to suffering uniquely. Why not question what broke this man and corrupted his spirit instead of foaming at the mouth and dreaming of mutilating his genitals. Btw if any of you are meat eaters you support way worse then this every day.

  5. 6 months is WAAAAAAAAAY too long. This is more like night in the drunk tank kind of shit. Bunch of meat-eating hypocrites.
