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.”
For sure, all very emotive arguments morally I agree with the sentiment.
My rebuttal was to you ascribing psychopathy to the general public because they eat meat, I expect you'll see a much lower than average score for empathy across slaughterhouse workers ( and probably more psychopathy as well )
Tbh, it would be interesting to see what happened to meat consumption if we introduced laws mandating abattoir imagery on meat packaging.
