Dallas police are looking for several teenagers who they said fed kittens to a pit bull at a northeast Dallas complex Monday night.

A witness said she saw a group kids, some as young as 5-years-old, watching as teenagers kicked and beat four kittens, about 2 to 3-weeks-old, and then threw them to a dog.

When a neighbor tried to stop the teenagers, one of their mothers allegedly punched her.

"He was kicking the animals; and when they tried to run off, he would grab them and throw them to the pit bull so it could destroy the kittens," said Ella Brown, a witness. "It was awful. I never saw anything like that in my whole life."

Witnesses said it appeared the teens were killing the kittens just for fun. Under state law, torturing or killing an animal is a state jail felony.
