“On Monday in Ohio, animal control Officer Barry Accorti shot and killed a litter of kittens in front of freaked-out children nearby. ‘He informed [a witness] that shelters were full and that these cats would be going to kitty heaven,’ Ohio SPCA Executive Director Teresa Landon told the Sun News. Landon said the home owner, who had called for help, assumed the officer ‘would be trapping them or something and taking them to a shelter and they would be humanely euthanized if they were not adopted.’ The stunned observer alerted the Ohio SPCA to the officer’s actions, and the animal rights group responded with a Facebook campaign to ‘expose’ the behavior.”
