TEENAGERS slowly tortured an eight-week-old kitten – stoning, jumping on and riding over the petrified animal on a bike before kicking her on to train tracks.
Police and RSPCA officers described the depraved attack, captured on CCTV footage, as "sickening" and vowed to use the full force of the law against the thugs.
"It was sickening in every sense of the word and we need to identify these offenders," Superintendent Les Wales said. "This can't be tolerated."
Recovering after two operations yesterday, Shelly was in the safe hands of rescuer Constable Michelle Moy, who managed to reach the empty platform at Seven Hills.
"The kitten was lying on the tracks and it couldn't appear to walk," Constable Moy said. "It was horrible. We thought she was going to die on the way to the shelter."
Named after Constable Moy, who wants to adopt the kitten, the animal is expected to recover well over the next few months.
The policewoman, along with colleague Constable Carmen Bagust, took the kitten to the nearest RSPCA clinic where she underwent surgery for a broken back leg as well as being treated for injuries to her front legs and one of her eyes.
Three youths were caught on closed circuit TV attacking the animal about 2.30am on Sunday. The alarm was raised by a station master.
One teenage boy was described as having distinctive orange hair and possibly being of Pacific Islander appearance. The other two were of Caucasian appearance, wearing dark T-shirts, jeans and baseball hats.
They had a new blue pushbike. The platform was empty at the time of the attack.
RSPCA Chief Inspector Don Robinson said such cases occurred on a weekly basis across NSW. "We would like to see the full weight of the law brought against these people. We've got to stand up for that kitten," he said.
"Our concern is that these young offenders will not stop with one small kitten and will move on to other animals and people. Perhaps the next time the result could be fatal."
The youths could face up to two years in jail and a $20,000 fine if they are charged with and convicted of aggravated cruelty.
Anyone with information about the attack should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
wtf is this a joke? Do you realise how many men are dying in terrible pain the very second i will be finishing this sentence? I understand your feelings because i love animals also...but this is a little overdoing it.
the proper course of actions would've been for that station master to get out and beat the sh!t out of all of 'em.
they should bear the brunt of the law and be educated inside RSPCAs.
Give them 6 months in animal welfare society; not get beaten up
and contrary to animals, humans have morals. they differ wrong and right. animals act upon instinct. morals is a main responsability of being the most advanced species on this earth.

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with aggravated cruelty after allegedly attacking a kitten at a Sydney railway station.
He joins an 18-year-old man, from Tregear in Sydney's west, who was arrested after showing up at St Marys police station late yesterday.
The man was taken to Blacktown police station where he was interviewed and charged, also with aggravated cruelty.
The 15-year-old was arrested at his Old Toongabbie home last night and questioned by Blacktown police.
A second 15-year-old boy has been questioned and released without charge. He will be subject to youth conferencing, convened by the Department of Juvenile Justice.
The kitten was attacked at Seven Hills railway station around 2.30am (AEDT) on Sunday.
Police have said it was kicked, stoned, run over by a bicycle and booted onto the train tracks.
The animal suffered serious injuries and is recuperating after being rescued by a police officer.
The 18-year-old has been granted bail and will appear in Blacktown Local Court on February 10.
The accused 15-year-old is due to appear at Cobham Children's Court on February 15.

i agree with Dexx.
This is THE most pointless thing ever.
OK the cat got beat up, like it NEVER EVER happens ANYWHERE.
God they even showed this on the news in California, and it happened in Austrailia!
They could be reporting on more important things. This is just stupid. IT shows how the media warps things to avoid talking about bigger issues.
Its the discussion forum, you come here to discuss things dont you, so I found this and posted it, sheesh I agree there are alot more important things and issues occuring, so post them too,its just a poor kitten story
I read the title and decided not to read the content of this thread.
