When a woman in Prineville, OR, went searching for her missing cat, Pumpkin, she never imagined she would find him bloodied and clinging to life in a dumpster. The person accused of shooting him three times in the head – a local pastor – admitted to the act, claiming he thought the cat was "threatening his chicken coop."
Pumpkin survived, but he is now permanently blind. The horror of what he endured is unimaginable. While the man responsible was charged, he still holds a gun license and remains in a position of public trust.
Sign the petition to demand that authorities thoroughly investigate this case, revoke the shooter's gun license, and ensure accountability for this horrific act of cruelty.
A man who can shoot a small, defenseless animal multiple times and discard it like trash should not be permitted to own or use firearms, nor should he hold any leadership role that demands moral responsibility. This act wasn't just reckless; it was inhumane, cruel, and deeply disturbing.
Pumpkin's story has already sparked outrage and protests across the community, and rightfully so. Animal cruelty is a serious crime, and it must be met with serious consequences.
Sign now to demand a full investigation, mandatory mental health evaluation, and the immediate revocation of this individual's gun license.
