A Ware County woman faces animal cruelty charges for kicking her neighbor's six-week-old kitten during a dispute, captured on video by the kitten's owner, Christian Lee, and shared on social media, gaining significant attention.
The video depicts Kate Murphy entering her neighbor's yard, visibly upset and shouting about Lee's animals trespassing into her yard. A heated verbal exchange ensues, with Murphy challenging Lee to come down for a confrontation. Despite the dispute, Lee remains on her porch, while Murphy is in the yard. Shockingly, Murphy is seen kicking a kitten a few feet away, causing the small creature to fly into the air. Fortunately, the kitten sustained no internal damage but suffered bruising.
Officials from the Ware County Sheriff's Office have charged Murphy with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, and cruelty to animals.
This woman needs to be punished as harshly as possible for this act of cruelty. There was no reason or justification for kicking that innocent kitten.
