Man Arrested After Sharing Graphic Photos of Dead Cat Online, Faces Charges of Animal Cruelty
A 26-year-old Bronx resident has been indicted on charges of animal cruelty and torture after allegedly posting disturbing images online of a dead cat. David Mosley, who has shared these photos on social media, is accused of bragging about the act he committed.
According to authorities, surveillance footage from Mosley's building shows him carrying the live cat into his apartment just days before it was discovered deceased. The investigation led to a search of his apartment, where detectives found dried blood on the floor, as well as graphic images of the dead cat posted online.
Mosley had initially claimed that he had found the cat after it died, but this explanation appears to be unfounded. Animal advocates gathered outside Bronx Supreme Criminal Court for Mosley's arraignment expressed outrage over his alleged actions, with many calling for justice in the case.
The Bronx District Attorney has stated that Mosley allegedly posted images of a dead cat on social media, which is considered one of the most egregious examples of animal cruelty. The court heard that Mosley pleaded not guilty to the charges, but he is set to appear again in court on March 17.
