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.”
“Instead, he went to his truck and got a gun, which she thought was a tranquilizer gun, and walked around to the back of the house and approximately 15 feet from her back door shot and killed the 8- to 10-week-old kittens.”
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 and call for accountability.

someone should take this pos out back and shoot him.
He should have asked also in a loud voice, Are you kids behaving?
Protectin' & Servin', baby. Nothing like blowing away kittens in front of horrified children to make you feel like a real tough man. Its a wonder that sissy didn't call for back-up so he could feel safe, being as he was outnumbered. His commander should probably consider limiting his supply of bullets to ONE. You or I do what HE did and we make get a few years in prison. But the law isn't made for police. Only the serfs.
What a dumb a$$
This happened a little while ago. There is a lawsuit against the police dept and the officer. He may also face cruelty to animal charges.
And, they wonder why their credibility, honor and trust has declined so much in the eyes of the people they're supposed to serve.
Animal control officers are not cops.
