Coquille Police are asking for assistance in a case of animal abuse involving two 5-week-old kittens.

According to the Coos Bay Police log, at about 9:29 a.m. on May 16, a cardboard box with kittens was reported by a customer at Joe’s Place, 750 W. Central Blvd. The kittens had been tied together by their necks and their legs were bound. One died as a result of this treatment, which police are considering to be a case of first-degree animal abuse.

The surviving gray kitten was given to a Coos County animal control officer, taken to the Coos County Shelter and placed in a foster home.  

 Coquille police ask that if residents have any information about the incident, they call the department at 396-2114.  A reward is offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in this crime.

Why are the police doing an investigation? You can starve horses for months until their DEAD but 1 kitten dies and the FBI is called. What is going on with our system. I know for a Fact that the woman that killed her horses (in Lakeside) NEVER spent a day in Jail!!!

People who abuse animals often proceed to harm other people. The correlation between animal abuse and crimes against humans is real and cannot be ignored. The perpetrators must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
