My name is Eric, and I run I Love Every Dog, and I'm asking you to help me get answers for eight cats who were poisoned to death near Westfield Drive in Archbold, Ohio.
Two adult cats and four kittens were found dead in a ditch. A fifth kitten died later despite emergency treatment. An eighth cat also died. Investigators found a green, glowing substance near the scene consistent with antifreeze, one of the cruelest and most painful ways an animal can die. This wasn't an accident involving one unlucky cat. Eight cats, including kittens, dying in the same small area points to something deliberate.
PETA has already sounded the alarm and is urging residents to keep their cats indoors for safety. That's good advice for prevention, but it does nothing to hold whoever did this accountable. Right now, no suspect has been named and no one has been charged.
I'm asking Sheriff Roy Miller and the Fulton County Sheriff's Office to treat this as the serious criminal case it is: to actively investigate the deliberate poisoning of eight cats, canvass the Westfield Drive neighborhood for witnesses and security footage, and pursue felony animal cruelty charges against whoever is responsible under Ohio law.
Cats are too often treated as if their deaths don't matter, especially when they're neighborhood or community cats rather than someone's registered pet. These eight cats mattered. Please sign this petition and help me push Sheriff Miller to find whoever poisoned them before more animals in Fulton County die the same way.
