In December 2010 Grant Hurlbert, who at the time was living in Strood, Kent, killed a 14-week old kitten named Jar Jar by slamming him onto the floor three times.

The kitten had been given to Hurlbert as a gift by his then girlfriend (who went on to have two children with him).

On the evening in question Hurlbert had turned up at her family home while high on drink and drugs. The court heard that he displayed some strange behaviour and at one point rolled around naked on the floor.

A family member heard loud noises coming from the kitchen and went to investigate. He saw Hurlbert “hold the kitten above his head with both hands and throw it hard on the floor”

Jar Jar was seen twitching on the floor and died later from his injuries.

Hurlbert assaulted his girlfriend’s father, as he tried to throw him out. He was arrested some time later.

Hurlbert, who owns scaffolding company Quick Fix Scaffolding Ltd, told police he could not remember the incident.

During Hurlbert’s court appearance in January 2011, the judge told him that drunkenness was no excuse for what was an act of “wanton cruelty”.

Sentencing: 16 weeks in prison for causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal and banned from keeping or owning any animal for life. He was also given a total of eight weeks for the two assault charges and a further four weeks for possessing cannabis and causing criminal damage.
