NORTH KANSAS CITY POLICE NAB PETA AWARD FOR RESCUING KITTEN FROM HIGHWAY
Bella the Highway Kitty Now Lives With the Officer Who Saved Her
North Kansas City, Mo. — A Compassionate Police Department Award is on its way from PETA to the North Kansas City Police Department, which sprang into action on December 20 after callers reported that a kitten was stranded on a highway barrier at the junction of I-35 and I-29. Officer Jason Smith found the kitten, enlisted other officers to control traffic, and—as his bodycam footage shows—retrieved the kitten and brought her back to his patrol car. He and his family adopted the cat and named her Bella, and she even has her own Instagram page.
"Thanks to Officer Smith and the other compassionate officers of the North Kansas City Police Department, this tiny kitten was spared a terrifying death on the highway," says PETA Vice President Colleen O'Brien. "She's now safe and sound at home with her new family, and PETA hopes her story will inspire everyone to come to the aid of animals in need."
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to abuse in any way"—notes that cats should never be let outdoors unattended. Those who are allowed to roam outside may contract diseases such as feline AIDS, be hit by cars, be harmed by cruel humans, or end up in dangerous predicaments like Bella's.
The North Kansas City Police Department will receive a framed certificate, a letter of congratulations, and a box of vegan cookies—with some extra ones for Smith, who is vegan.

Now THAT'S high praise.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you DEVELOPING, exactly? A brain?
ReplyDelete^^^^^no spyware to block fools like you.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Smith rocks! The world needs more people like him in it.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, the "alleged" kitten kicker has a court date tomorrow, a pretrial hearing after two continuances. He's also had a judge change. Gregory Gillis, a criminal judge, will not be presiding. It was moved to Richard Standridge, a Civil & Family Court judge.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think...a fine & a promise not to kick defenseless kittens for a year?
Bastard. I hope I'm wrong.
Hey cmon. It’s a good story. PETA does a lot of good things for the welfare of animals, but they have a special taint about them as well. Vegan communists basically.
ReplyDeleteThere is such a think as feline AIDS? So there are also homosexual cats? Who knew?
ReplyDeleteGood thing the cop wasn’t Asian. That cat would have been dinner.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you call a vegetarian with the schitt's? A Salad Shooter.
ReplyDeleteFuck Peta, they're scammers who kill more animals than they've ever saved and funnel all those bleeding heart donations to domestic terror groups like Animal Liberation Front and others.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Tackleberry in Police Academy knew how to get a stuck cat down from a tree. He did it with the only kind of gun control that makes sense.
