LaGRANGE - Two LaGrange teenagers pleaded guilty to killing a cat by throwing it into a ceiling fan, hanging it with an electric cord and hitting it with a metal bar. <br> <br> Jason Lamar Moore, 18, who was already on probation for auto theft, was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison and three years probation for aggravated cruelty to animals. <br> <br> Earlier this week, Aaron Nicholas Buchanan, 18, was sentenced to two years in a work camp after pleading guilty to the same charges. <br> <br> ``We believe Moore started it when he threw the cat into a fan because it had urinated on the carpet,&#39;&#39; Assistant District Attorney Nigel Lush said. ``It appears Buchanan did most of the other things.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Authorities in LaGrange may also bring animal cruelty charges against whoever killed 11 potbellied pigs and dumped them at a construction site. <br> <br> The pigs were shot in the back of the head with a .22-caliber weapon, said Troup County marshal Tammy Wood. The pigs were found Wednesday, and it appeared they had been there three or four days.
