This guy should definately be reported , what a prick . Also might want to call the local news and bring more attention to this situation.
WTF???? Chicago ASPCA kills non-feral kittens/cats. Dude report them!Alright, I wanted to tell this story and get some opinions on it. This happened a few weeks ago, but I happened to think about it today and it really pissed me off.
Anyway here's the story....
I live in Chicago, so our winters are really really really cold. And we have some homeless cats that roam the neighborhood. So to make it easier on them, my neighbor from a few houses down puts up a few warming houses for them. Nothing big, just some cardboard boxes with blankets and some dishes of water so they survive the winter.
Anyway, a new couple moved into the house next to my neighbor. The husband goes to work and the wife works out of the house. In just a few days, the wife noticed the cats that roam the neighborhood and the fact that they go to the warming houses next door. For some reason this angers her, so she calls the cops. The cops come, tell my neighbor to take away the warming houses. She does. A day or two later she puts them back out. And again, the wife calls the cops. The cops come, tell my neighbor to take away the warming houses. Again, she takes them away. A few days later my neighbor puts them back out. This time, the wife calls Animal Control. Animal Control comes out and goes to my neighbors house. He tells her to take away the warming houses. She says that she's been doing this for the cats for over 20 years and it's bothering nobody, so why should she stop?
The Animal Control guy reaches into the warming house and pulls out a kitten.
He then snaps it's neck with his bare hands and whips it to the ground. He says if she keeps the warming houses out, they're gonna come back and kill all these cats. He leaves.
Now, I'm more of a dog person then a cat person, hell I'm allergic to cats. But this still pisses me off to no end. And to pick up something so innocent and just kill it with your bare hands makes me furious.
What do you guys think of this? What would've you done?
Dude, I would seriously contact the media with this. That's so ****ed up. Kittens are so cute, that stupid bastard. I would have punched him in his damn face if I were there.
Sad thing is that I wasn't there. If I was, I probably would've punched the hell outta him, really wail on his punk ass but then I'd probably would've gotten in some kind of trouble too. I'm not trying to sound "cool" or "badass" either. If I seen ANYONE intentionally trying to harm an animal, then I harm them. I love animals. They're innocent. My dog use to be the only thing at home happy to see me and loved me no matter what.
I came home from school and seen her outside and asked her how she was and she told me the story. I don't know if she's done anything since then. The warming houses are back outside, i could tell you that. I'll ask her if she did anything about the incident.
It's probably a city ordinance, coupled with the initial complaint(s). Even if she doesn't own the cats, as others have said, they were being sheltered on her property.What reasoning did the cops say there was for taking away the cardboard boxes?

Call the ASPCA, animal control, and/or the news, but leave PETA out of it. PETA is full of people that have the wrong ideas of how to do things, PETA needs to die.
