Wal-Mart Workers Accused of Shooting Cat
Wal-Mart Workers Accused of Shooting Cat
2 Wal-Mart Employees in Indiana Charged With Felony Animal Cruelty for Shooting Stray Cat The Associated Press Dec. 30, 2004 - Two Wal-Mart employees have been charged with felony animal cruelty after police said they followed a manager's orders to shoot and kill a stray cat. The men, both assistant managers at the Supercenter, were arrested and released after a court appearance Wednesday. Christopher Anderson, 29, and Jeffrey Hardin, 21, told police the store's manager ordered them to get rid of the animal that was living in a storage trailer behind their store. Anderson and Hardin repeatedly shot the cat with a pellet gun from the store until it died the following day, a Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department report said. All managers potentially involved in the incident have been suspended without pay pending an internal investigation and could be fired, said Wal-Mart spokeswoman Sharon Weber. "We were outraged when we learned of this incident. This kind of action is completely inconsistent with the way we do business," she said. A truck driver who reported the incident said he saw store employees placing what he believed to be a dead animal in shrink wrap a day after he heard workers joking about shooting the cat. Store manager Darrel Weitzel told police he had told some of his employees to get a gun and get rid of the cat after attempts to coax it from the trailer failed, according to a police report. Anderson and Hardin were scheduled for a hearing next Tuesday. |
If the courts don't deal with them correctly, someone out there will.

At the very least, they should get exactly what they did to that poor cat done to them! Then again, so should the store manager who told them to do it in the first place. |

Wal-Mart Fires 3 Workers After Cat Killed Police: Two Followed Manager's Orders To Shoot Animal POSTED: 6:52 am EST December 30, 2004 EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Two Wal-Mart employees have been charged with felony animal cruelty after police said they followed a manager's orders to shoot and kill a stray cat. The men, both assistant managers at the store, were arrested and released after a court appearance Wednesday. Christopher Anderson, 29, and Jeffrey Hardin, 21, told police the store's manager ordered them to get rid of the animal that was living in a storage trailer behind their store. Anderson and Hardin repeatedly shot the cat with a pellet gun from the store until it died the following day, a Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department report said. "We were sickened by this cruelty," Kevin D. Miller, regional vice president for the Arkansas-based retailer, said in a news release Thursday. "After an internal investigation, we terminated the three associates we know to be involved," the release said. The company did not name the employees who were fired. The company also plans to donate $10,000 to split between the Vanderburgh County and Warrick County Humane Societies in Indiana, the release said. A truck driver who reported the incident said he saw store employees placing what he believed to be a dead animal in shrink wrap a day after he heard workers joking about shooting the cat. Store manager Darrel Weitzel told police he had told some of his employees to get a gun and get rid of the cat after attempts to coax it from the trailer failed, according to a police report. Anderson and Hardin were scheduled for a hearing next Tuesday. Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

I asked if this " 'manager' had his head up his ass" and wheter or not he had heard of Animal Control, Humane Society, ASPCA, etc., and wished the same treatment to them that they gave the cat.
