Animal Cruelty Caught On Camera Has A Family Fearing For Their Cat's Life

[Sugar Cookie]

Joseph Afamefuna Olunwa was caught on Ring video throwing rocks under a car in a neighborhood in Owings Mills.

The neighbor said it was animal cruelty to their cat.

Meet Greyson, a playful kitty that loves to cuddle and join in on watching bird videos.

He's one-year-old and one family’s furry companion, but on the morning of May 22, a disturbing surprise left them in shock.

"I heard someone outside crying and I came outside and my daughter was balled up," said Linda whose daughter owns the cat."I put my arms around her real tight and her kitten was just sitting there with blood oozing out of it's eyes it couldn't move and it was just sitting there helpless.”

Ring video from a neighbor shows what happened earlier that morning. Linda said someone who lives a few houses down was seen in front of their house.

"He came outside, he watched his wife back out of the driveway and then the video shows him like he's walking back to his door and then at 6:31, it shows him walking down to the dead end where we are positioning himself on our vehicle and hurling stones so loud you can hear all the popping noise,” said Linda.

Linda said this continued on,"Our kitten was under the vehicle and he just continued to hurl the stones and pop them and he would step back like he was waiting for the cat to emerge from the vehicle.”

After calling 911, her daughter and a friend transported the kitten to the Veterinary Emergency Group Hospital in Pikesville.

"We were at the vet for the rest of the evening the cat has a broken jaw, he busted both of the cats eye sockets, the kittens bottom teeth pierced through his tongue,” said Linda.

She said the kitten is now on a feeding tube and pain medication.

We knocked on the door of the home where the person on video lives. When someone said hello behind the closed door, we asked if they wanted to talk about what happened, but no one responded or opened the door.

Linda said they filed a report with the Baltimore County Police.

Arrest and Charge Man For Brutalizing Neighbor's Kitten With Rocks - Animal Victory

From the cat's owner

Named persons never apologized but to add insult to injury named persons threaten me and are completely de-sensitized and de-humanized to their actions. Named person Arminta Olunwa was fully aware of her husband/partner unprovoked attack on our kitten and instead of “reporting” him she “SUPPORTED” him and on 5/25/2024 Arminta Olunwa threaten me waving and shaking her finger at me while I was in my driveway.

No excuse in the entire world for stoning a poor helpless kitten hiding under a vehicle. The kitten was no threat to named persons yet name persons pursued kitten leaving their own home and property and coming to our home and property to maliciously stone vulnerable and helpless kitten.

They should be reported to ICE and made to leave the country and be deported. Named persons committed felonies and that is a violation of their residence in the United States. They cannot move here and commit felonies and part of their agreement was not to break USA laws.

It just hit me why I would always come outside in the morning and see so many rocks in front of our house. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME Joseph Afamefuna Olunwa has stoned a kitten. Joseph Afamefuna Olunwa has been repeatedly stoning the many stray cats in the neighborhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! j Joseph Afamefuna Olunwa is a REPEAT offender and must be stopped.

[the cat did it]

I don't know how I would be able to contain myself if it were my neighbor, being so close in proximity of these people and having to see them, I think I'd probably end up in jail myself...
