Department of Environmental Management issues warning as convicted cat killer gets out

[TexasTowelie]

PROVIDENCE – Officials from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management have issued a warning after a convicted cat killer was released from the Adult Correctional Institute. They say Anthony Stravato, 25, of East Providence, could be looking for more animals to kill.

In an Aug. 5 letter to licensed animal care facilities, the DEM said that Stravato was released from the ACI that same day.

"Authorities are concerned that Stravato will continue this behavior, possibly seeking to harm larger animals," stated the letter.

Stravato was previously convicted of malicious injury to animals after killing and torturing animals, including a family cat and a rat. He kicked the cat to death before burning it and gouging out an eye. He was sentenced to prison last year after also sending threatening messages to a teenage girl online.

Stravato, who goes by the Facebook name Anthony "Homiecidez" Stravato, posted on the social network last year that he would probably be the next serial killer "since I have a serial killer trait."
