PETITION TARGET: Lancashire Constabulary
In what rescuers are calling the worst case of animal abuse they have seen in 16 years of cat rescue, a half-starved kitten had his testicles brutally hacked off with scissors before being left in a box to die, covered in his own urine and feces.
The 13-week-old kitten — named Billy by rescuers — was found dying in a box in a park in Preston, Lancashire, UK, by a dog walker this week. He was taken to Blackpool Cats in Care rescue.
Vets say he has only a 50 percent chance of surviving his shocking wounds. His mutilated testicles are seriously infected and he has a broken pelvis, He needs an operation to repair the damage, but is still too emaciated and weak to undergo surgery.
Whoever did this to him also used scissors to roughly cut the fur from his head and back. It is clear from Billy’s condition that he was neglected for quite some time before being dumped to die. This innocent kitten is still fighting for his life, while no leads have been reported in the investigation of this horrific crime.
Sign this petition urging the Lancashire Constabulary to use all their resources to find the perpetrator of this barbaric crime and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, ensuring justice is served for Billy.
Update 10/8/18: It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news that after a tremendous fight by Billy, his supporters, and the team taking care of him, Billy had to be euthanized after developing severe bowel problems. Billy fought a hard fight, and we will do the same for Billy. We will now work even harder to urge law enforcement to find and prosecute Billy’s killer, so his death is not in vain.
THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE PUT OUT OF THEIR MISERY. THEY DO NOT DESERVE A LIFE. THESE POOR BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT ANIMALS ARE DYING AND TORTURED FOR NO REASON…TO NOT KNOW LOVE HURTS MY HEART RIPS IT RIGHT OUT…MOF POS I WISH DEATH ON THEM ALL.WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE
Please find the perpetrator and prosecute them. The individual needs mental and emotional help, and would benefit from psychiatric help. Something must be done so that this madness cannot be enacted again.
