We had a case where a trio of guys made a video of
themselves grabbing a neighbour's cat and skinning it alive. They said
it was an art project and also a political statement condemning the
eating of meat.

Various Toronto artists actually DEFENDED this! This guy was one of
them:

Apparently, if you fancy yourself an intellectual, you can do whatever
the fuck you want....

As I recall from the news coverage, the judge who tried this trio of cat
killers said it was the most heinous thing he'd ever heard of so he
"threw the book at them". He sentenced them to three months in jail and
since they'd been held in jail for that long awaiting trial, they had
already served the sentence and were free immediately. 

I just did a search and can't find anything on Jesse Powell, the leader
of the trio, from after the trial. (There are lots of hits for Jesse
Powell but I don't think any of them are him.) Maybe he learned his
lesson. Or simply changed his name. What a despicable excuse for a
human being!
