(Contains graphic image) Storified by George Mattingly· Tue, Feb 19 2013 14:36:21DailymailAn Oklahoma teen stirred outrage on social media after he posted a picture of a pit bull he shot with an arrow on Facebook.

According to the Muskogee Phoenix, the picture was allegedly posted by 18-year-old Caisen Green on Friday, which gained the attention of social media users who made threats to Green and called for his arrest.

That kid who shot that pit bull with a bow and arrow deserves to be shot. #SomessedupPrincess Colburn Did anybody else see that sick fucking bastard on Facebook who shot a dog with an arrow? Search Caisen Green #dieaslowhorribledeath #fagDustin NewmanI hope that retard in Ottawa that shot the dog with the arrow gets his ass ripped apart by a dog #dumbfackJosh OstroskieThis is the bastard bragging about shooting a pit bull with an arrow! He will be dealt with!! http://pic.twitter.com/MBaWMma1TaraGroups created Facebook pages dedicated to spreading the picture throughout the internet , and calling for his arrest or prosecution and requesting people to report him to local authorities.
And another disgusting page that praises that piece of trash teenager who posted a pic of a Pit Bull he had killed with an arrow. If you remember, that idiot teen is now on the run because he received death threats from people all over the world, so of course some moron thinks he is a hero and makes a page. Boy, if there were a way to rid this planet of all the idiots out there, the world would be a MUCH better place. CAISEN GREEN IS A MORON, NOT A HERO!http://www.facebook.com/pages/Caisen-Green-Is-An-American-Hero/534570953232790Dogs' Rights SaintsWhen police officials went to speak with Green about the incident, they were told he and his mother had fled the county after the threats.
Green could face a felony charge of cruelty to animals, which according to Oklahoma state law, carries a maximum up to five years in prison, one year in county jail or a fine up to $500.

While it's not clear whether or not Green actually shot the dog, the threats made to him have not gone unnoticed by police.

"I understand people don’t want to see animals hurt,” Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Jason Chennault, said to the Muskogee Phoenix . “But death threats are not going to help the situation.”

District 27 District Attorney Brian Kuester said making threats toward another person, would likely be a misdemeanor, carrying a punishment of up to six months in county jail and up a $500 fine. If a plan were put in place, or there was action taken to hurt Green, the crime would then become a felony, Kuester said.

Do you think Green should be prosecuted if he is found guilty shooting the dog? Were people wrong to make threats against him? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
