Hunt on in Britain for cat killers

LONDON - A hunt is on in Britain for the people who filmed two videos - one of a man feeding a live kitten to his python and another of a woman drowning a cat.
The first video, titled "Python Christmas", has already been pulled from YouTube. It showed the pet owner placing the kitten called Jasmine into a Santa hat and then laying it on a bed where the snake was lurking under a pillow.
The yellow Burmese python can grow up to 6m long and is one of the largest snakes in the world.
The man distracted the kitten before the serpent pounced, crushing it in a death grip. Once the kitten's tail stopped moving the snake devoured it whole, head first.
Its cries of agony were drowned out by the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy playing in the background of the video, reported Daily Mail.
At the end of the seven-minute footage there was a threat of more "feeding videos". The video was first posted on a website called Flix from an account registered in Islington, north London.
In the second video, a cat taped to a broom handle was lowered into the water by a woman. Bubbles were seen rising as it struggled before losing its fight for life.
The RSPCA animal welfare charity has appealed to the public to help identify the man in the first video. If caught, he faces six months' jail and a £20,000 (S$40,000) fine for causing unnecessary suffering. A spokeswoman said: "There is no excuse for feeding a live cat to a python".
"The kitten is probably no older than four months. It has no hiding place and can't get away. These are the actions of a sadistic human being," veterinarian Pete Wedderburn told The Sun newspaper.
Among the few clues to the man's identity are that he is a fan of the Disney film, Aladdin, with images and songs from the movie posted on his YouTube site.
Welfare group PETA offered a reward of £2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Agencies
