Animal cruelty is heartbreaking, and it's even more so when it's acted out by someone you trust with your companion. That was the case for Corina Ealy whose cat Prince was tortured and burned by her then-boyfriend in Ohio. Now, we're calling for justice.

This past June, Eric Rollins was allegedly at Ealy's residence while she was at work. He told her he was giving her cat Prince a bath and he would give him another because he had defecated. Ealy returned home from work at 4:00 a.m., and went directly to sleep. The following morning, she discovered beer cans in the trash with cat hair on them. When she confronted Rollins, an argument ensued and police were called, who waited while Rollins packed and left.

Later, Ealy found Prince's burned remains, and called the police again. Rollins allegedly told Ealy that her dog had killed her cat Prince, but later confessed to an officer after learning a necropsy would be performed on Prince's remains.

He was indicted on a felony and misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty. A no contact order was also issued, but that has been broken and Rollins, who has since moved to Mississippi, is now suspected of having contact with animals.

His next court date is scheduled for the beginning of May, so the time to act is now.
