Foot Model Who Married Doorman Sues Co-op Over Harsh Treatment
The ASPCA arrested a 17-year-old girl for killing her ex-roommate's kitten by putting the feline into an oven and leaving it to die. The Post described it as Cheyenne Cherry's "heartless attempt to get revenge on her lesbian lover." Cherry and a friend broke into the Mott Haven apartment of Valerie Hernandez, planning to trash the place. And the Daily News reports that Cherry allegedly told investigators, "I hate cats." Neighbors called the fire department, because a fire started and smoke was coming from the apartment. ASPCA Assistant Director Joseph Pentangelo said, "The kitten was burned alive, and it did not happen quickly. It was an agonizing death," adding that Cherry and the other person left soon after also slashing Hernandez's couch and stealing items, "She didn't want to hear the cat crying and scratching at the oven door... It's a shame that this kitten had to suffer like this. For the kitten to get caught up in whatever was going on with them is a tragedy." Cherry was charged with arson, burglary, criminal trespass and felony aggravated animal cruelty.

Utterly despicable.

do unto her as she did to that innocent kitten.
Hell hath no fury like a ghetto dyke scorned...
Would you be calling her a "white trash dyke" had she been caucasian?
Just curious.
YES.
RC Fuck you. race matters not in this story
Fucking Racist
evil bitch.
I'm just as pissed off as everyone else, but I wonder what makes people more pissed off about a murdered Kitten then that of a murdered person?
How are measuring the relative levels of pissed-off-ness? Some kind of modified e-meter?
If you measure by number of Gothamist comments, murdered people win. So to speak.
Because it was a small and defenseless kitten who had no idea what was being done to it(her).
It's just fucking cruel.
werd
Because the potential for murder is there.
It is all about logic, you see...
There isn't anything that says that caring for the life of any living creature diminishes respect for human life.
To say expressions of disgust to animal cruelty acts are giving "preference" to animals over humans... is to say that you have a limited amount of respect that can be allocated only to "humans" because your respect is not plenty enough to give others.
That is not only false but totally obtuse, if not palinly unethical.
You can decide not to respect life because is not human life. But it is a choice: you deciding that only humans are deserving of your perceived limited amount of respect for life.
The human on this story has decided that she "hates" cats therefore she decided to act on that belief. Perhaps she also thinks she has a very limited amount of respect for life...
That show how many beliefs built on faulty logic are are WRONG.
for the same reason we get upset when someone kills a child, they are considered innocent and helpless.

I want her face to be hamburger.
She must be a fan of Stephen Lynch's "Kill a Kitten" and took the lyrics seriously!
If the one you love isn't quite as smitten...
Seriously though, this girl is a monster
Well this ruined my day. I'm actually tearing up right now...
One less cat in this city to be spayed/neutered means there is one more veterinary slot available to spay this sad bitch. Pack her in a kitty carrying crate and send her off to Bide-a-Wee for some snip-snip action before she makes more of herself.
It would be one thing if she just left the gas on. Cooking the cat alive just makes me want to vomit.
I honestly feel nauseous.
Oh Cm'on! I came here explicitly to read the hysterics of FelixtheCat2. Where is he? Maybe he's so distraught that he can't get himself to write.
Re. the event itself. That is one scary lesbian psycho! Next step is Jeffrey Dahmer territory.
I hope Gothamist follows this story. I want to know what happens to this c*nt. Whatever it is, I hope it's horrible.
I hope I get to be on the jury.
I hope I get to be on the jury.
A double.
i hope i get to pee on her
A potential 4 bagger
I hope this ghetto fugly throwback is burn alive and I will spit on her to help put out the fire. I feel so sick and so angry about the suffering and pain of that innocent kitten. I wish I had a gun so I can shoot her fucking face off so I don't ever have to look at it,
Relax Felix. Let's get all the facts before passing judgement. There are always two sides to every story.
2 stories?, what the hell did the poor innocent kitten do to anyone to deserve to be burned alive? She belongs in the trash, she is worthless and a WASTE of Skin. I wish she was burned alive or broil alive.
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!
EXACTLY !!!
Most serial killers start by killing Animals
So we have a future serial killer
I say lock her up and throw away the key
As I said above, I missed you and was waiting to see how Hysterical you would get. I'm happy to say that you have outdone yourself. Really spastic in your hate and desire for sadistic retribution rather than justice. Way to go!
Why not burn her alive?
Cheyenne Cherry....is that the new flavor at Rikers?
FTW
Ah jesus. A psychopath.
I hope there are cat lovers in prison.
This is a terrible story because of the needless suffering. If you need to kill the animal fine. But to put it through pointless agony is just wrong.
Christ man, nice story to end the goddamn week.
I'd pay good money for the chance to give the ghetto dyke a Drano douche.
WTF she's 17 years old and she already has an ex room mate. Shouldn't the bitch be living at home with her parent/s and attending school? Never mind. I'd be called a racist if I followed that line of reasoning.
How can someone do that to a little defenseless animal?
But one bright spot in this story is the bitch wasn't into guys which would only make things worse for the future generation that would have to live with her offal springs.
"Shouldn't the bitch be living at home with her parent/s and attending school? Never mind. I'd be called a racist if I followed that line of reasoning."
Huh? You'd be called a racist for suggesting a child be in school? Huh?
Thought you all might like to know she's on MySpace.
http://www.myspace.com/shortypopoff11
Her name's Cheyenne Cherry, in the Bronx.
I'm sure she'd love to hear from you. You know, let her know what you thought of her throwing a kitten in an oven.
thanks for that link.
thanks for that link.
Doubling.
JHere's another important link, a link to a petition to have this skank tried as an adult
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/332/petition-to-have-cheyenne-cherry-tried-as-adult
Why isn't the death penalty legal in NY? Maybe she'll get hit by a bus.
Would remove someone's personal info from the site. NY Daily news is reporting some old woman getting 75 calls after someone posted erroneous info on a blog. May be this one?
Mods please note.
Interesting that people are attacking her for being a "ghetto dyke."
Of course if she'd been a white straight male, everyone would just be calling him a "sociopath" or "troubled young man" or "person with issues", not calling attention to his ethnicity, orientation, or making assumptions about his socio-economic background.
gothamist race police on patrol. but officer, what race is "ghetto"?
do explain.
also, i'm pretty sure that gothamist commenters could come up with a whole slew of offensive names, if it had indeed been a white straight male who burned a fucking kitten alive.
remember? the kitten? that's what this story is about. get off your high horse officer.
"Of course if she'd been a white straight male, everyone would just be calling him a "sociopath" or "troubled young man" or "person with issues""
You've got to be kidding.
RC Fuck you. race matters not in this story
Fucking Racist
The Daily News is reporting that she was released without bail. This is also not her first offense involving an animal. What a worthless piece of shit.
R.C.: is it ok to call her a worthless piece of shit, or is that racially insensitive?
Why not just set the cat free? Why kill it?
if you set it free, its natural instincts will kick in, or someone will rescue it. and the person you are mad at still mourns the loss of a kitten.
angry lovers are never in the right state of mind. especially 17 year old ones.
for shame.
I don't think a kitten would fare very well on the streets, natural instincts or not. But it would be better than what happened.
This story has certainly inflamed a lot of emotions, and justifiably so. That girl should be shipped off to prison for the rest of her life. She has no remorse and will never find any kind of redemption. It's just a matter of time before her next "joke" involves a defenseless two-legged creature.
But it looks like some commenters went way over the line. Some notable gaps in the comment numbers. Maybe "GoToHell" has been finally banned after this. Aside from some violent rants, he even posted a one-sentence post that was nothing but a profane attack on Jen for deleting said rants. Not smart to insult the editor of a blog if you want to keep commenting there.
In Korea this would only be regarded as cooking dinner.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA OMG YOU'RE SOOO FUNNY
Is that what you wanted? Seriously though, you're a racist, unfunny piece of shit. At least get your stereotypes right. Koreans don't eat cats, and even if they did, they would NEVER be so inhumane as to cook a cat alive. Next time, why don't you try a little harder to be funny, instead of relying on racist, untrue stereotypes to get the job done. Oh, and you look like a douchebag for making stupid jokes on this horrible, horrible story.
hahahaah. Oh my. that was quick
I'd happily shove this bitch in front of a bus without the slightest bit of remorse.
for those cynics that insist in giving a break to the criminals involved in animal cruelty, here is the profile of antisocial behavior:

This is just sickening. I am not a "cat lover" myself I am a dog lover. HOWEVER this version of a female dog deserves the same. AN EYE FOR AN EYE. That innocent kitten had every right to live. It did no harm to no one and by no means deserved to die a horific death as it did. I HOPE THE BITCH BURNS IN HELL!!!!!!
The real sin is that she didn't soak the kitty in teryaki sauce for 24 hrs. before hand. They're delicious that way. Kitty Teryaki. Google the recipe.
Cheyenne, I wish mercy on your soul when you arrive in prison. There are cat lovers in prison and there are ovens. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!! What comes around goes around biatch !!!!!!!!!!
Yes, wait till all the criminals who assault humans find out that someone harmed a cat!
If she had the comfort of a real living penis this could have all been avoided.
Thread winner!
Thread winner!
i hope she someone throws her in an oven
What a sick and twisted fucking bitch
You need to rot in fucking hell
I am a cat lover and you need to get a new fucking brain love
You are fucking sick
There are no words to fucking describe this kind of fucking act of cruelty
