Cops need target practice? Just give them a cat to shoot

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Kern County Sheriff’s deputies accused of using a cat as target practice have been disciplined and they’re back at work.

The incident happened at the Hart Park training facility back in March.

A woman walking in the park said she saw the deputies shoot a cat and kill it.

 

The woman didn’t capture the shooting on camera, but she did record her confrontation with the deputies in a video that went viral, sparking rage from animal rights groups.

This week on KGET 17 News at Sunrise, Sheriff Donny Youngblood said the case is now closed.

“This case is completed. The allegations were sustained. The officers involved were appropriately disciplined. I met with animal rights groups; they’re content with what we’re doing,” Youngblood said on 17 News at Sunrise. “They’re back to work, but they’ve been disciplined and that’s about all I can tell you without violating the peace officer bill of rights.”
