A tiny kitten was carried into an ATM vestibule in San Francisco in the middle of the night. It never walked back out. Inside that small, locked space, the kitten was tortured and killed by the man who brought it there. This kitten deserved a life. Instead, it suffered a violent death at the hands of someone who should never be trusted around a vulnerable animal again.
Sign the petition now to demand a lifetime ban on animal ownership and mandatory mental health counseling for the man responsible.
After killing the kitten, the man fled the scene, taking the animal's body with him. It took a two-week investigation by San Francisco Animal Care and Control and the police department before he was tracked down and arrested. He now faces charges of animal abuse and neglect.
A lifetime ownership ban isn't about punishing the past. It's about making sure no other kitten, puppy, or animal ever ends up alone with this man again. Mandatory mental health counseling matters just as much.
Cruelty like this doesn't happen in a vacuum, and locking someone up without addressing what drove them to do this only raises the risk that another animal gets hurt down the road. Real accountability means dealing with the root of the problem, not just the aftermath.
Sign now to demand a lifetime ban on animal ownership and mandatory mental health counseling, so the next vulnerable animal this man encounters is safe.
