From Alley Cats: North Ridgeville, Ohio. It is inexplicable how a humane officer who shot and killed five kittens in front of children in June 2013 was able to keep his job, and has again—one year later—shot and killed a trapped, defenseless baby raccoon. And he had no regard for killing again in front of children. When the five kittens were shot and killed last year, the city eventually responded—only after ongoing pressure from distressed residents and advocates—by deciding to not handle calls involving cats anymore. Calls about cats are now directed to a local organization instead of being handled by city officers—but the culture of killing remains. We need a new way of thinking. We need elected officials to adopt best practices to truly protect animals. Policies that are compassionate and—frankly—common sense.
