LAFAYETTE, Colo. – A 19-year-old man was ticketed Wednesday for allegedly leaving his cat tied to a rock at a Lafayette Park.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, Seth Franco took his cat to Waneka Lake Park to join him for a jog.
“Apparently, the individual was trying to jog with the animal on a leash and the animal was either unwilling or unable to keep up,” Lafayette police Sgt. Fred Palmer told the Daily Camera.
Franco allegedly secured his cat to a rock in order to finish his run around the park. A passerby spotted the cat being attacked by birds and called police.
Animal control responded and Franco was ticketed for animal cruelty.

If you torture your animals and you live anywhere near me i ‘d want to know about it. You’d be a prime candidate for a serial murderer and damn sure on my list of people to watch and possibly take out in a shtf scenario.
I’ll assume that you are using “you” not in reference to me, old3030, personally but in the sense of “a person”; otherwise, I would have to assume you can’t read.
Thread hijack much? :)
It works for both you personally and anyone in general, since you would be included in the “anyone in general”.
I understand where you are coming from as I feel the same way about my animals. No one is above the law however when it comes to animal cruelty, and it doesn’t matter two craps if they are your property or mine.
“Thread hijack much? :)”
No, My point was to highlight how badly misplaced liberal outrage is. There are much more serious world events than a bird pecking a cat on the head.
