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.
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.”
Fucked up but still less bad than what happens nationwide in factory farms to millions of animals per year
This has the same energy as “Oh that cop beat that black man? Well that’s not as bad as all those Palestine kids being murdered by Israel.”
It’s not a game of what sucks worse.
If over 90% of people recognize the smaller injustice for what it is (extremely fucked up) but don’t care about the larger one, then I think it’s relevant to bring up, so people can see their hypocrisy
Agreed. Getting shot would almost certainly beat getting gassed or lobotomized before having your throat slit.
