SUGAR LAND, Texas (AP) — A Texas man accused of torturing and killing four kittens had worked as a geometry teacher at a Houston-area high school before his arrest, the school district said.

Graham Reid, 29, of Sugar Land, faces four counts of felony cruelty to non-livestock animals. He was arrested in late April, and the Fort Bend Independent School District said this week that Reid is “no longer employed with the district.”

An arrest warrant says Reid told investigators he “felt powerful” when he tortured his four cats, ranging in age from 4 months to 1 year. The cats were all beaten to death, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Reid was arrested April 28 and is next due in court June 14. His attorney, David Hunter, declined to comment on the case.

3. Non-livestock animals?

Are there different (or no) penalties for torturing "livestock" animals?

Turn this psychopath into hamburger. Tear him apart slowly,force his guts down his throat,disfigure him torture him, crush him utterly and painfully .

Strangle his breath. ,Erase the vile spirit he has. Make his name be as shit.Ruin his future days ,Feed his disgusting heart to Ammit . Deny him peace in the afterlife, Give him eternal suffering ,humiliation
and pain. May prides of lions hunt him and feast on his broken body and he feels every moment of it over and over eternally.

The death penalty is too kind for this psychopath motherfucker.

Make him beg for his own death and death never comes,in agony for all eternity.

I would love to be alone in a soundproof room with this monster with a baseball bat with big nails driven in it.

I know I would feel better once he was done. I'd do it for the kittens.

Psychopaths are a threat to all living things. I wish they'd go extinct.

10. He should have never been allowed to teach in any classroom.

It's difficult to believe that this man could receive any respect from the students with his appearance.
