""At least three cats were found shot by a pellet gun in South L.A. over the last two months, prompting PETA to offer a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the shooter.""
""One cat died; another, named Albert, has developed a limp after a bullet was lodged in his spine. Albert was found in an alley near the corner of W. 94th Street and Vermont Avenue.""
""It's past time that local animal control do their jobs and investigate these shootings before more cats end up injured or dead," said PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange in a news release."
""Estimates say there are nearly a million stray cats in L.A. To help control the population, the city launched the Citywide Cat Program in 2022, which provides funding to help organizations humanely catch cats, spay or neuter them, and release them back into the wild.""
Three cats have been shot with a pellet gun in South L.A. over the past two months, leading to a $5,000 reward from PETA for information. One cat died, while another named Albert has a bullet lodged in his spine and is in foster care. PETA urges local animal control to investigate these incidents to prevent further harm to cats. The city has a program to manage the stray cat population, initiated in 2022, focusing on humane capture and spaying or neutering.
