Target: Cincinnati, Ohio Animal Care Humane Society Chief Dog Warden Troy Taylor
Goal: Find and arrest person who nearly killed cat by tying him to tree with retractable dog leash.
A two-year-old cat, named Dagger, was barely breathing after he was found with a retractable leash around his neck and tied to a tree. It is important that an investigation be conducted to find the individual who committed this senseless act of animal cruelty, to keep other animals in the surrounding areas safe.
Dagger was discovered by his owners after escaping from his home. Although he was still breathing when he was found, he may not survive. He is on several medications for head trauma because his brain function was severely damaged from being strangled by the leash. Dagger’s legs also need to be rotated every four hours so they will hopefully once again be able to function on their own. His family is now relying on donations to help with the cat’s medical care.
Although the incident was reported, it is not clear whether officials have started searching for the guilty party. Sign this petition to demand a full investigation take place and that whoever did this be arrested if they are found.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Warden Taylor,
A cat, known as Dagger, was recently found nearly dead after he was tied to a tree with a retractable dog leash around his neck. Whoever committed this crime needs to be found and immediately arrested to better ensure other animals in the vicinity will not also be targeted.
Dagger was discovered by his owners hours after he escaped out the door. He was able to receive medical treatment through the help of a local animal rescue called the Tri-State Noah Project. However, Dagger’s injuries are so traumatic that he is now being fed through a syringe, as well as taking pain medication and steroids. Additionally, Dagger’s legs are being manually rotated every four hours as a means of physical therapy. Dagger’s prognosis currently looks dim, and he may die if his brain function and mobility do not soon improve.
For these reasons, I demand you search for the person who is responsible for committing this heartless act and that they be immediately apprehended so other animals will not be subject to similar abuse.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Thanks for asking that question. I was curious myself. It’s horrendous what happened to this defenseless kitty. Evil, disgusting monsters.
Open season on the sorry ass mf that did this 🎯🎯
Absolutely I totally AGREE 💯💯💯%. Matter of fact they should do this to all Abusers
AGREE!!!
Hell yeah 💥
In the first instance I hope that Dagger survives and makes a full recovery, sending best wishes to Dagger and to his owners. I also hope the perpetrator is caught – preferably by people who will kick the shit out of them until they fall unconscious or perhaps die. No pint in saying I hope the police find him or her or them because we know that nothing will happen to them!
So terrible..please find the dehumanized monster that did this and lock it up in prison for life.. it is a dangerous entity that does not deserve to live much less be able to roam free where it can hurt and kill others.. this monster should be punished and confined the same way as it would be if the victim was human!The present penalty for murder of animals is obviously not harsh enough which is why this keeps happening!!It is appalling!
Animal abusers should be hung to death and I don’t mean a long drop hanging.
Why? I don’t understand why sick bastards would do this to an animal? What the hell is wrong with them? To see a poor defenseless little animal the tortured while a gasp for air? I hope whoever did this suffers like that cat. That’s just sick and I hate people that do this

I called the telephone number you gave out and they didn’t know what I was talking about and why I’d call them. Maybe, a different number?? Thanks
OMG!! Who does this sick sick sh**!!!! That person sucks and should be charged, fined, put in jail and never allowed animals!! Pls catch this horrible icky person, if you can even call them that?!
I am horrified by this senseless act of cruely. I pray Dagger survives and the deranged maniac is caught and charged. I would love to choke him and walk away
Find this cruel idiot then STRANGLE HIM AND TIE THIS CRUEL IDIOT TO A TREE WITH A RETRACTABLE DOG LEASH as he did this innocent cat. Put a sign which says “Do NOT take him down!!!!” Another sign says “PLEASE HIT ME!”
HANG THAT MONSTER ALSO VERY TIED ON A TREE AND LEAVE HIM THERE TILLHE DIED. NO MERCY.
Please start killing the animal abusers!!!! No more jail time what a waste when those monsters won’t change
I hope Dagger pulls through and I hope they find this evil piece of shit and do the same to him. He doesn’t deserve to be alive!! How I would love to get my hands on him his life wouldn’t be worth living. I hate animal abusers and they need taking of the streets.
FIND THIS SICK AND EVIL MONSTER AND PROSECUTE THEM WITH SEVERE ANIMAL CRUELTY!!! THIS POOR KITTY DESERVES JUSTICE FOR THIS HORRIFIC TORTURE AND ABUSE!!!
THIS SICK MONSTER WILL NOT STOP UNTIL LOCKED UP AND KEPT AWAY FROM ANIMALS!!!!!
This demented POS needs to be found and punished!! This is horrific!!
So might the fact that a retractable leash was used mean the perp has a dog?? Could be a clue to finding this monster!
The evil punk killer/abuser MUST BE FOUND and FORCED TO SUFFER THE SAME ABUSE = BUT…..he needs to die…animals and humans alike are not sale from someone who enjoys hurting/killing. IN MY OPINION
I hope the low-down piece of slime that strangled Dagger is found and severely punished. I hope that Dagger gets well soon and gets justice.
This vile human needs the same….someone like this does not understand anything else but violence. Such scum are out of control and they feel in control by abusing the most vunerable. Judges/lawyers if this twisted human is caught are you going to charge them with felony counts and make certain they get the harshest sentence!!!?? And no one even knows if a search is on??!!?
How disgusting…That poor darling.
I agree with all the above comments. Animal abusers should not have the privilege of living. There are some very sick humans running around and they need to be punished. Hoping that Dagger survives and thrives.
