Target: Placer County Sheriff Wayne Woo
Goal: 13 kittens, cats and a hawk found dead and mutilated deserve justice.
Thirteen dead kittens, cats and a hawk were found in a trash bag. The animals were clearly mutilated. No suspects have been identified.
A utility worker found the poor creatures when he was working on a power line in the woods. He came across a suspicious trash bag that had indications of rotting bodies. When he investigated more closely, the worker discovered thirteen dead kittens, cats and a hawk. The bodies of the animals had been mutilated, apparently by a human.
“It is a horrific incident and not the type of incident we see on a regular basis in Placer County,” said Katie Ingram, director of animal services in Placer County.
The mutilated cats included kittens and cats of all ages, sizes, and colors.
“Just the number of animals and the circumstances of how they were found lead us to believe it was an intentional act,” Ingram said. “There was no predator involvement, no scavenger involvement.”
It is suspected that the cats and hawk were killed and mutilated at about the same time and had been rotting in the trash bag for the past week.
