On June 10 in Lorain County, Ohio, North
Ridgeville "Humane" Officer Barry Accorti responded to a call
regarding a feral mother cat and her five kittens living in a woodpile in
a homeowner's backyard. He told the homeowner that shelters were full and
that the cats would be going to kitty heaven. He then pulled out his gun
and shot to death the five 8 to 10 week-old kittens.
We are told that he discharged his gun
approximately 15 feet from the backyard patio. Never did Officer Accorti
let the woman know that he would be killing the kittens on site or that
he would be firing a gun in her backyard. The woman ran into the house to
shield her children who were screaming and crying. The mother cat is
still alive.
Not only are there more humane ways to
put down feral kittens, the poor judgement Accorti showed by firing a
weapon in a backyard surrounded by other homes put people in danger.
Allegedly Accorti told the woman that he isn't suppose to do this, but it
was justifiable.
I live in Lorain County and this is not
the type of behavior or poor judgement we expect from our police
officers. Our citizens are outraged that this happened yet Police Chief
Mike Freeman has already cleared Accorti of any wrongdoing. We find that
unacceptable. Officer Accorti should not continue his position as a
humane officer with the North Ridgeville Police Department.
