Police are seeking two men who they say burned a cat by pouring hot liquid on the animal while in a cage.
Moss Point Police have issued arrest warrants for 43-year-old Larry Rostchild Jr. and 24-year-old Laderrick Rostchild, charging them with aggravated cruelty to an animal.
Cmdr. Stacey Deans tells the Sun Herald that police believe the Rostchilds burned the cat, later found dead. The act drew wide attention after a video was posted online earlier this month.
The men could face fines of up to $2,500 and up to six months in jail.
Karmen Coleman, 23, removed the video after learning she faced charges of rendering criminal assistance. She turned herself in Friday.

Animals do not deserve such horrific treatment from sick minded scumbags .. lock em up and throw away the key
I will never understand the mind of a monster. These men are revolting and must be demons. What did that sweet cat do to deserve that? $2,500 and 6 months in jail is way to lenient for them. I would put them away for good. Vile snakes like that don’t deserve to be on this earth. I hope that kitty is in Heaven with Jesus.
I have one better. No. Jail time…Do the same thing to them as they did to the cat. Then we do not have to house or feed them.”.
Right on Ekrinsky, they deserve it.
Ekrinsky, Thanks, you said what I was thinking, good to hear you say this
Better yet, shoot ’em.
Disgusting news. Helpless animals depend on our love. These 2 monsters should be put away for a very long time.
If they would do this to a helpless animal, they are only one step away from doing it to a helpless human being. It’s beyond horrible that they did it to a helpless animal, but it shows that they simply cannot be trusted not to do it to any helpless life, human or otherwise.
I happen to love animals. We have to respect everything that GOD has created. These two, for this mean act should spend the rest of their lives in Jail. They are without knowledge and education. There is no telling how these people were brought up. Six months in Jail is not a hard enough penalty to pay for what they have done to this little kitty. I hope this little kitty went to heaven
What do you expect from those things. They deserve to have worse done to them. They aren’t even close to the class that poor cat had. DIE SCUM
These people are disgusting!
with no respect and feel, love for an animal, for me it is possible people could do worse up evil, should be stricter punished!!!!!!!
These cats will these in heaven
These idiots to hell hell hell !!!!! @hell
These filthy bastards need to be exterminated!
This is typical of devil mind. I wish those people like this two monster will suffer & die the same way like they did to this angel cat. If they treat sweet animal this way they will treat human the same.
A lot of animals and human will die like this or another demon ways if this kind of devils will release back in the street after 6 months free food in jail paid by tax payers.
They should be put in a cage and everyday pour hot grease on them keep doing it everyday until they die… let them feel the pain….
They should be put to do hard labor, like a chain gang.
Working on the roads etc. would surely embarrass them.
No more slap on the wrist.Bring back the good ole days.
These are two monsters.
IF THESE TWO FILTHY MONSTERS ARE EVER RETURNED TO THE STREETS,
NO ANIMAL OR HUMAN BEING IN THEIR AURA WOULD EVER BE SAFE.
THROW AWAY THE KEY!!
skin these filthy scum bags
Lay most of the blame for the action of these two demons on todays liberal minded society on the politions who refuses to punish idiots like this!!!
An idle mind is the Devils workshop.
