Thanks to the hunch of a savvy Pennsylvania veterinarian, a kitten on the brink of death will live. What almost killed him will stun you.
During a routine patrol around 4:40 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3, West Whiteland Township police officer Marc Meshurle reportedly found a man named James Paul Myers just sitting in a car on a remote road. Beneath one of the car doors, Meshurle noticed a small black kitten.
He was hanging there by a rope bound tightly around his neck. The officer at first thought he was dead. The poor kitten was bleeding, appeared to have been beaten, and had broken teeth. Investigators believe the kitten was either dragged behind Myers car, slammed repeatedly to the ground or both.
When Officer Meshurle cut off the rope from the kittens neck, it became clear he was still alive but just barely. See a news report about this outrageous crime here:
