I will expand more later but have to make this brief as we have to leave soon to meet with the captain of the sheriff department whose Animal Control Officer killed our daughter's and son n laws cat. A feral cat they had rescued and who had become a wonderful loving member of th e family. The ACO allowed a friend / acquaintance to manipulate her into killing kitty.
So you'll understand here's a brief background:
The neighbor in the name of helping took kitty to a local vet not our vet. Planning on convincing the vet to endorse her effort to have kitty killed...this neighbor had been convicted of stealing from our kid's friends and suspected of stealing from our kid's house and others. So they all quit inviting her to parties/cookouts---couldn't afford the extra security if she had been there so this was her twisted revenge
The vet told the girl emphatically to take kitty back to kitty’s owner's house and leave her instead she called her ACO friend and convinced her the vet had said there was nothing that could be done for kitty... Complete and blatant lie.
But it works...the ACO found her a facility that allows her to kill at will and without making any effort what so ever to contact the owners, she kills the cat. Within one hour of a vet examine her and finding her ok to go home the laws require the cat to be taken to a shelter and held 3 days even in situations where animal is in critical condition. The ACO must attempt a min of 2 hours to contact owner. We were not contacted until 4 days after she killed kitty; over those 4 days the neighbor made up 4 completely false stories of what happened to kitty
We are looking for advice from anyone who has experienced anything like this. We meet with the capt. this morning. Are we justified in demanding the ACO’s removal from animal services and the prosecution of the neighbor?
