ETHEL, LA (WAFB) -
A reward is
being offered for information related to the shooting deaths of several cats.
The Humane
Society of the United States said it is offering a $2,500 reward for
information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Nearly two
dozen cats that had been shot with a .22 caliber rifle were found on Nov. 12 in
Ethel. Most of them were dead two days later.
"This
is an inexcusable crime that deserves the serious attention of law enforcement
and the community," said Julia Breaux, Louisiana state director for The
Humane Society of the United States. "It is well documented that those who
abuse animals can move on to abuse people, too. We hope our reward helps bring
forward information that will help find the heartless person who hurt these
innocent creatures."
The 20 or
so cats were left at a home by the former renter.
Animal
lovers in the community had cared for them.
