Blow dart to the chest kills Ames cat in apparent animal cruelty case


            The only thing I can think of is why? Why would anyone be so cruel! On May 17th/2012, a neighbour of Ron Carson witnessed a terrible scene he saw Carson’s cat 10 year-old cat ‘Star’ limping back to his home the collapsing just across the driveway. The neighbour rushed to the injured cat, taking it in to a small- animal hospital with the hopes of it surviving, though when Carson got there his poor cat passed away. Animal cruelty cases like this question the humanity in people, someone did this perhaps out of pure boredom and didn’t think of the consequences of their actions, someone’s cat passed away and it’s their own fault. I presume that the culprit could have been a teenager thinking they would impress someone or multiple people, never the less it is extremely irresponsible and sick! 
              In the article it states that ̎ Star was more of an explorer ̎, so in a way Star could have been injured in another way such as getting hit by a car, though it doesn’t justify the fact that some heartless person injured a defenceless animal. My hopes and prayers go out to the family that have lost their beloved pet, I know what it is like to feel the loss of your cat, and although my circumstances were different the feeling is mutual. In addition, I hope the person responsible is found and given whatever punishment is appropriate to what has happened and there will be some form of closure for the family knowing who is responsible for killing their cat.
