Man Pleads Not Guilty To Killing Cats

A man accused of throwing cats into San Francisco Bay has denied the charges.

A 33-year-old San Francisco man pleaded not guilty to two felony counts for throwing a homeless woman's two cats into the San Francisco Bay, according to the San Francisco Examiner.

The cats died when a man threw a homeless woman's belongings -- including the container that held the animals -- into the Bay on Nov. 25.

He's being held on $130,000 bail and will return to court in January.
