Outrage in North Ridgeville after kittens are killed

NORTH RIDGEVILLE, OH (WOIO) -

There is outrage in North Ridgeville over how a Humane Officer removed feral kittens from a resident's woodpile.

The five kittens were all killed on the spot in a woodpile after the homeowner had contacted North Ridgeville Police for help because the kittens were causing flea problems, a foul odor and were leaving dead animals in the yard.

Humane Officer Barry Accorti told the homeowner the kittens would be euthanized, to which she said she was fine with, but didn't make it clear that he was going to do it on the spot.

According to police, the homeowner said she felt overwhelmed due to the fact that her children were inside the residence and heard the gunshots. She urged better communication in the future.

The Director of Ohio's SPCA calls the shooting a disgrace to the entire community. "It's beyond shameful for the city to tolerate this," said Noah Turner.

Turner says Humane Officer Accorti offered an explanation before pulling the trigger. He said the shelters were full and the kittens were going to kitty heaven.

City leaders stand behind Accorti's actions and no disciplinary action will be taken.

There is a Petition at http://www.change.org to get this "Humane Officer' Fired.

Yes, I signed it (as have over 100,000 others).

I apologise if the Bumper Sticker offended anyone, I just couldn't resist.

That's no excuse to terminate them in such a fashion - in plain view of children, no less.
