Seven cats tragically died after a man literally trapped them in an airtight container, then threw them in an area of dumpsters. Against all odds, one sweet cat named Helena survived. She is only 1 year old and is now, thankfully, in the care of a local shelter. But the trauma of having those other cats die around and on top of her will take a long time to heal. Those cats' lives were tragically cut short, and it's time that the perpetrator is held fully accountable.
The man told authorities that he couldn't afford to feed the cats, so that's why he killed them. Certainly, many of us have felt the burden of high costs of pet care, but there is absolutely no excuse to kill cats because you can't afford their food. Animal shelters exist for exactly this reason, to take in animals whose owners can no longer care for them. Sign the petition to protect more animals from future harm!
