He slammed a cat to the ground and killed it, then claimed he did nothing wrong

Footage from a security camera in Cleveland, Ohio recently revealed an alarming case of animal cruelty. In it, a man can be seen catching a defenseless cat in his arms and then raising it above his head and smashing it down onto the ground, "spiking it like a football." 

This physical trauma was so horrific that the poor cat died, but this man has yet to answer for the cruelty. Sign the petition asking that the Cleveland Animal Protective League, which is investigating, bring charges against this man!

The video was so gut wrenching that reporters interviewed the man in question, wanting to know what could have brought on such violence. He willingly talked to them, and it soon became apparent that he thought he did nothing wrong. The man claimed that the cat had been tossed out of a moving car and that it was already hurt when he murdered it. 

Even if that was true, it was neither his job nor his right to kill that poor animal in such a brutal way. Shelters, vets, and other organizations that help injured animals every day would have done everything in their power to nurse this cat back to health. It probably had a good chance of surviving considering it was well enough to run across a road before this man plucked it up and took its life. Or, they could have given it a painless and merciful death if absolutely necessary.

"I didn't do anything." That's exactly what this man said when reporters suggested he may face charges for animal cruelty. If he is allowed to get away with this act, that terrifying sentiment will be affirmed, and he very well could go on to hurt more animals. The Cleveland Animal Protective League must live up to its name and not allow that to happen.

Let's encourage them to use the very clear video evidence they have, conduct a thorough investigation, and prosecute this man with animal cruelty! Sign the petition today.
