This is sick, stupid, and disgusting:
EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Two Wal-Mart employees who police say followed a manager's orders to shoot and kill a stray cat have been charged with federal animal cruelty.They used a pellet gun.[Christopher Anderson, 29, and Jeffrey Hardin, 21], both assistant managers at the Supercenter, were arrested and released after a court appearance Wednesday.
All managers potentially involved in the incident have been suspended without pay...
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.
UPDATE: Maybe prosecutors jumped the gun, as it's not against the law to kill stray animals on private property in Indiana...
