There is no excuse and no justification for animal cruelty, but sometimes, there is justice. A disturbing viral video led to the arrest of a California teen who was filmed throwing a tiny kitten into a lake while making a mockery of the helpless animal. The video was taken by his friends and originally posted on a private Facebook page, but thanks to the diligence of social media users and the local police, Garratt Haile, now 19, was eventually apprehended.
