A story aired on the news here in Houston last night of a local police officer who killed a cat by beating it in the head with a shovel
. The cat was found in the dumpster of the police station. Here is the link to the story.

If ya'll are upset at me sharing this I am sorry, I am just so tired of things like this happening!!!!! Every time an animal foams at the mouth, unknowing people feel the animal has to be killed. There are various reasons an animal may be foaming at the mouth (medical conditions/environmental factors) and as the link indicates this reason is most likely due to the heat (we have been having 100 degree days here). I really wish there were more things out there to educate people on what to do when they happen upon a situation such as this!!!! Murder is not the answer!!!
Unfortunately the police officer won't get anything more than a slap on the wrist!!!
