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]

This piece of SH.T needs to pay dearly. My heart absolutely breaks for this precious blue eye angle. This truly a stunning precious and beautiful baby kitten. I as a pet owner and love these babies makes me so sick to my stomach, that it makes me want to vomit. I DEMAND JUCTICE FOR THIS INNOCENT BABY NOW!!!!!
Kelly – I agree with your comment. I also demand Justice for this precious and innocent Baby!!!! I would kill the evil bastard if I could get to this lowlife pos!!!!
CRIMES AGAINST ANIMALS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY — Throw the PSYCHOS into rubber rooms — they are a DANGER to society — moreover, they’re depraved, hateful sadists who belong off the streets — just think of the suffering inflicted on Kitty Dagger — I pray for full recovery (c’mon, Dagger) — we MUST PROTECT our Animals — get some STIFF LAWS on the books & ENFORCE them — these ABUSER-KILLER-MONSTERS will repeat their horror if NOT STOPPED — everyone MUST BE ALERT — we do NOT want repeats of such crimes against Cats.
So damn true
When you find this SOB, just hang him. Nothing else is justice. That is after he pays for all the medical care for this cat. What the hell is wrong with people
What the fuck is wrong with people? Somebody needs to hang this peice of shit from a tree!! These animals deserve justice!! Things like this will continue to happen until assholes like that are held accountable for their actions.
You need to get the BASTAR and do eye for an eye.
What the hell has happened to the human race? This sadistic, demonic idiot should be permanently incarcerated, prohibited from all contact with animals or other decent human beings and prohibited from breeding. Get this trash off the Earth.
Animal cruelty is a Federal FELONY! The perpetrators of this heinous crime must be found and prosecuted. It’s not that hard. I’m sure these poor excuses for human beings have done this before and brag about it to their also depraved friends. Find them and bring them to justice. They’re the future serial killers of human beings. They’re practicing their craft on innocent and defenseless creatures.
Heartbreaking. My heart goes out the the family of this poor innocent kitty. What kind of people do this? They need to be exposed and never be let close to any breathing being.
Find him and give him same treatment.dispicable piece of crap
Marilyn – this monster is not a him, It is a lowlife psychoppathic depraved pea size brain monster who must be caught and put to death. An eye for an eye. Kill the monster pos slowly.

An eye for an eye

ANIMAL VIOLENCE shall be treated as any human violence. Animals SHALL NOT BE VICTIMS — and they deserve JUSTICE just like YOU and ME!
MAX JAIL OR DEATH PENALTY for this SCUMBAG(S)!
Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern about this story. This particular case was initially a police investigation and Hamilton County Dog Wardens have since opened our own investigation in collaboration with Cincinnati PD. Leads are extremely scarce and we urge the community to reach out to the Hamilton County Dog Warden with any information.
