Kitty peppered, prodded, tasered, shot & dumped

The cat had lost an eye and was badly mangled, Mull told police.

Police said the officers attempted to use pepper spray to get the cat down, and when that failed, they called animal control officer Jessica Spangler and told her to bring her harness pole.

The officers attempted to net the cat with the harness pole, and when that failed, used a Taser gun on the animal.

"Once the animal was brought down, Jessica told the officers that the cat was so severely injured that she ordered the officers to shoot the cat. For safety reasons, the officers took the cat outside the city limits and shot it," Chief Hearn said.

Senior also tasered-

Police say when the two officers arrived, the agitated man was brandishing a broken table leg.

The officers tried to negotiate with the man for about five minutes. But they say that when they tried to approach him, he came at them, raising the wooden club.

At that point, one of the officers fired her Taser at him, but it didn't make proper contact and the man kept coming at them.

The other officer then fired a second Taser, and the man started to fall. The two officers say they were able to catch him before he hit the ground.

1. Read the comments on the cat story from the slimeball who
calls himself "MS"

Frickin' lunatic needs to have the crap beat out of him.

Yet another innocent situation spirals totally out of hand thanks to those dashing boys in blue! Nice one guys! And here I thought that the cops got their kicks out of stomping young people, most often black or brown skinned. Looks like those odds aren't stacked quite enough in the poilce' favor. What's next? Mauling lemurs and tarsiers? Waterfowl perhaps? Fuck all, how dumb can you get? Sheesh!

3. You have to wonder how much of the public's money was spent
to torture this cat (more than it already was) in this way?
:puke:

4. Holy Moly - They tasered a cat? What a bunch of weenies. And what kind
of animal control officer euthanizes a stray cat by shooting it?

5. Go watch a hockey game canuckleheads...
Man picking on a helpless cat. As pro-dog as I am, I need a tranquilizer about now.

Too bad neither the cat nor the elder could bite off a wiener in time!
