In St. Francis County, two hunters were arrested with a possibility of ten years in prison for shooting three cats while duck hunting. They posted their photo to social media of them holding up two of the dead cats like a prize, and someone later reported it. One of the men has already been arrested and the other will be on December 19. The photographer, however, will face no charge. Later they received information about a woman, one of their neighbors, who had lost three of her cats, most likely the ones depicted. As of today, similar stories are happening. Most of these horrible people know what they’re doing is wrong, and they usually don’t think much of it. These cruelty cases are all examples of how mean people can be to animals and just dismiss it as a nothing.
