A man from the Bronx has been charged with animal cruelty after allegedly posting graphic images of a dead cat online. David Mosley, 26, is accused of sharing two disturbing photos on Instagram, including one showing himself with a live cat and another depicting the same cat in a pool of blood.
According to authorities, the images sparked a search of Mosley's apartment, where detectives found dried feline blood on the floor. The investigation revealed that surveillance footage showed Mosley carrying the cat into his home on October 9, before later claiming he had found it after it died.
The Bronx District Attorney's office says Mosley "bragged about what he had allegedly done" in posting the images online, which is a shocking display of cruelty towards animals. Animal advocates gathered outside Bronx Supreme Criminal Court for Mosley's arraignment, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges and will appear in court again on March 17.
The prosecution has yet to release details about Mosley's defense team or any potential motives behind his actions, but it is clear that his behavior has caused significant concern among animal welfare advocates.

i mean, sharing graphic images of dead cats online is just disgusting. and now he's in trouble? good riddance to bad rubbish! 
the fact that he bragged about it online makes me even more sickened. animal cruelty has no place in our society and people like this should be held accountable. i hope justice is served and those who care about animals are safe 
like, what even is wrong with this dude? i'm not saying he's innocent or anything, but come on, sharing that stuff online without being super clear about the context is just cruel. and now he's denying doing it and claiming he found the poor cat in a pool of blood? no way. authorities have already said they have evidence to back up the charges so i'm guessing his defense team will have to come up with some real solid arguments if they wanna try to get him off. btw, can we talk about how easily this guy got caught? like, what was he thinking sharing that stuff online in the first place? 
. I also saw this new coffee shop downtown that serves the best iced caramel macchiatos - has anyone tried it?
. And to make matters worse, he's bragging about it? That's some messed up stuff 
. I mean, I get that people can be weird, but animal cruelty is never okay 
. The fact that he lied about finding the cat after it died just adds insult to injury 
. This whole thing is a harsh reminder of how we need to treat all living beings with kindness and respect 
.
. Can't believe some people have no empathy whatsoever. Sharing those graphic images online was just cruel and unnecessary 
. I mean, who needs to see a dead cat for entertainment? It's just sickening.
. It's heartbreaking to think about what that poor cat went through. 
I'm seriously disturbed by this guy's actions... can't believe he thought sharing those graphic images online was a good idea 
. It's just so cruel and inhumane, not to mention disturbing for anyone who sees them. I mean, imagine being that cat! 
. It just goes to show that we need to be more vigilant when it comes to online behavior – those graphic images could've gone viral and caused so much more harm 
.
.
just saw this news and I'm really disappointed 
. someone so young doing something like this is just disturbing 
. animal cruelty is a big deal and it's not funny or impressive to brag about it online 
. i feel bad for the poor cat that died 
. anyway, i hope justice is served for that poor cat and its family 
] Animal cruelty is NO Joke 
] Poor kitty! 
. I'm all for free speech and all, but when it comes to stuff like this, I think there should be consequences
