A Texas man will spend the next 6 1/2 years behind bars after a nanny cam video captured him torturing his former girlfriend’s cat over a five-hour period in what one investigator described as one of the worst cases of animal abuse he’s ever seen.
The sheriff’s office first received a complaint on Oct. 13, 2021, for animal abuse. The Herald-Banner reported that the complainant was a woman who briefly dated Kawle. She told deputies she called them because her two cats kept suffering mysterious injuries.
One of her cats suffered an injury so severe its leg had to be amputated.
In response, the woman installed a nanny cam to see what her boyfriend was up to when he was home alone with the cats, the sheriff’s office said.
The footage showed Kawle torturing the cat for over five hours. Investigators found several signs of extreme abuse including “stains on the walls” inside the home, along with a metal rod, the press release said. A forensic veterinarian concluded the cat’s injuries were consistent with what was seen on the video.
