Scary people around, and I don’t mean Iraq.  If they can do that to a baby kitten, how much more their other neighbors?

Felony cruelty trial ordered in kitten stomping

An Orcutt man is facing a felony animal cruelty trial for allegedly stomping to death three kittens.

Superior Court Judge Jed Beebe in Santa Maria ruled Wednesday that there was enough evidence to try David Harold Pierce on the felony counts. He will be arraigned May 6.

Pierce was arrested April 13 after witnesses spotted him stomping the kittens in a Santa Maria grocery store parking lot.

Cheryl Mouyeos testified Pierce dropped three kittens out of a plastic bag and begin to stomp them in the parking lot at Spencer’s Fresh Markets.

When asked why he didn’t leave them at an animal shelter, Pierce allegedly told the woman, “I called the pound but they wouldn’t pick them up. I don’t like cats.”
