Originally Bleated By Quannel X:
"The cat died from a loss of blood, because the paw was taken off from the cat,".... "These children did not pull the arm off that cat. The cat's arm was in the back yard at the neighbor's home. And the neighbor agrees that anything that came in that back yard, the dogs will kill."

As Told By The Father:
'The father said that they don't deny that their sons threw stones, but not to harm the cat.

'"They were trying to figure out if it was dead because it was hanging there limp," the father said.

'"[i]As any curious children would do, they see an animal, make noises toward the animal, the animal does not respond, so they throw some stones at the animal to see if it would respond[/i]," Quannel X said. "But they never killed this cat."'
