Edward Pinales, 33, took 10 week old kittens and slammed them into a concrete culvert to kill them.  Four kittens and two cats were confiscated from Mr. Pinales, the two adults had to be put down due to extreme feral behavior. 

Mr. Pinales also threatened the neighbor who turned him in for his vicious behavior; for that he received five years probation.  Mr. Pinales is a reputed gang member.

I don't believe Pinales' gang membership had anything to do with his jail sentence, I believe that Texans are getting sick of people who abuse defenseless baby animals.
