[QUOTE="onearmedman, post: 1695537, member: 454"] [url]http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S2217458.shtml[/url] Albuquerque police are trying to find whoever shot and killed a cat using a gun with a sniper scope. There are other cats missing in the neighborhood, and neighbors are outraged. Now, several rewards are being offered to capture the cat killer. Prissy was a friendly feral cat who frequently visited her loving neighbors near Eubank and Indian School. The cat was gunned down this week, and city officials are worried that the person who pulled the trigger is capable of doing worse. Carin Harman was looking over her flowerbed Tuesday morning when she found Prissy, shot dead. X-ray images show a single bullet wound right through the ribs. Harman called police and animal control. "I'm upset, I cried and cried, even though it's not my cat, I'm worried about the neighborhood," said Harman. A neighbor reported hearing a gunshot the night before at 11p.m. in the middle of a rainstorm. "For a night shot, that's pretty good shootin'," said neighbor Carl Schulte. "I just think it's terrible, I don't understand why someone would shoot an innocent animal." Shulte and his wife Margart regularly fed Prissy and her feral friends. Other cats are missing, and posters are up in the neighborhood offering rewards for catching the killer. The neighbors are blaming another neighbor who hates feral cats and traps them. City officials are working on extracting the bullet to match it to the gun in hopes of tracking down the cat-hating sniper. The state veterinarian lab is working on extracting the bullet from the cat; then they will pass on the results to Albuquerque police. The cat sniper could face felony charges that include extreme cruelty to animals.:scratch: [/QUOTE]
