BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Kern County Sheriff’s deputies accused of using a cat as target practice have been disciplined and they’re back at work.
The incident happened at the Hart Park training facility back in March.
A woman walking in the park said she saw the deputies shoot a cat and kill it.
This case is completed. The allegations were sustained. The officers involved were appropriately disciplined. I met with animal rights groups; they’re content with what we’re doing,” Youngblood said on 17 News at Sunrise. “They’re back to work, but they’ve been disciplined and that’s about all I can tell you without violating the peace officer bill of rights.”
i was being facetious while hopefully also making a salient point about the hands-off progress we find in abattoirical technology. i am hard pressed to imagine a person making those arguments being “pleased” about autoslaughter.
