According to news reports, a pet Siamese cat belonging to the family of a campaign manager for an Arkansas congressional candidate was violently beaten to death by trespassers and left for the family to find.

Our hearts go out to the family, and we demand a full investigation by authorities into this heinous act.

Killing a cat is a crime in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and there is a well established link between violence against animals and other violent behaviors. It is critical that authorities bring the killer or killers in this case to justice as soon as possible, for the safety of the community.
