Target: Bruce Bartlett, State Attorney for Sixth Judicial Circuit of Florida
Goal: Prosecute animal cruelty case involving cat shot with arrow to fullest extent.
A popular feline fixture in a Florida neighborhood was almost killed with an arrow. The cat, described as a gray shorthair, arrived at a veterinary clinic with an arrow in the back. This resilient animal then underwent a successful surgery.
The Cat Trap Fever Inc. nonprofit rescued the cat and plans adoption when the feline has fully recuperated. Authorities have now turned their attention to identifying the person or persons who committed this disturbing act. They have asked for leads from residents of the neighborhood where the incident occurred.
Sign the petition below to call for appropriate charges after a suspect is apprehended.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear State Attorney Bartlett,
Pinellas County was recently the site of a horrific act of possibly random animal cruelty. A beloved neighborhood cat was shot with an arrow and rescued, with the weapon still protruding from the animal’s back. Skilled veterinary surgeons were able to save this cat, but the sheriff’s office is still investigating the case.
Please pursue maximum charges when and if a person of interest is identified. An individual who could commit this type of callous act will likely strike again.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
