Target: Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner, Metropolitan Police Service, London, United Kingdom
Goal: Identify whoever was responsible for the severe injuries suffered by a kitten found concealed inside bags on a doorstep and pursue appropriate prosecution.
A homeowner opened the front door to a horrifying discovery. A cat carrier had been abandoned on the doorstep containing the body of a young white-and-tabby kitten. Inside was a heavily knotted black plastic bin bag. The kitten’s body had been concealed within further packaging and wrapped tightly inside discarded women’s shorts.
A preliminary veterinary and forensic examination indicated that the kitten had suffered severe, non-accidental physical injuries before the body was concealed and abandoned. The animal had no microchip or collar, leaving investigators without an immediate way to trace her history.
No suspect has been identified. Investigators should exhaust every reasonable avenue for establishing how this kitten died and who left the carrier. Doorbell cameras, CCTV recordings, dashcam footage and witnesses could provide crucial evidence. Find whoever was responsible and pursue appropriate criminal consequences if deliberate cruelty is established.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner Rowley,
A young kitten was found dead inside a cat carrier abandoned on a residential doorstep. Her body had been concealed within layers of bags and wrapped tightly inside discarded clothing. A preliminary examination indicated that she had suffered severe, non-accidental injuries.
No suspect has been identified. Please ensure that relevant doorbell footage, CCTV recordings, dashcam video and witness information are thoroughly pursued to identify whoever brought the carrier to the property and establish what happened before the kitten’s death.
This kitten cannot identify the person who harmed her or explain how she ended up concealed on a stranger’s doorstep. Find whoever was responsible and ensure that any deliberate animal cruelty established by the evidence results in appropriate prosecution and meaningful penalties.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
