In the early morning hours of October 4, a dark sedan pulled up outside of Zeus' Place, an animal rescue located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Sitting on the curb out front were two community cats. The sedan slowed to a stop and the driver raised what appeared to be a rifle and shot at the closest one, killing Blackie, a beloved community cat cared for by Zeus’ Place employees. The killer has been found and charged. For the sake of Blackie and animals who are mercilessly persecuted, we must ensure justice is served!

The whole incident was captured on surveillance video and suspect Kyre West was arrested later that same morning following a tip made to local police. Once in custody, West admitted shooting Blackie.

New Orleans District Attorney’s Office is doing the right thing and charging West with felony animal cruelty. We need to make sure that felony charge sticks.
