Got Him! RSPCA To Lay Charges Over Cat Throwing Video

Man throwing cat against wall
Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started Scene Magazine in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

The RSPCA believes they have found the person responsible for throwing a cat against a wall.


This morning, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals thanked the public and the media for their help in locating the man believed to be responsible for hurling a cat over a fence and into the window of the house next door. The video was originally posted on Snapchat and sparked universal outrage.

The video was originally sent to Channels Seven and Ten who then passed it to the RSPCA.

RSPCA Qld spokesperson Michael Beatty said, “We are finalising the investigation and charges are expected to be laid next week.”

But old mate isn't the first to enjoy infamy for being a dick. A 15-year-old in California was charged for hurling a cat in the air – and likely killing it – late last year. Viewer discretion is advised.
