[quote=BND]GENESEO, Ill. -- Sheriff's deputies are looking for the person who nailed an injured cat to a utility pole in rural Henry County.
Geneseo resident Andrea Bristol found the gray cat hanging from the pole late Monday afternoon. She says that when she stopped to investigate, she saw that the cat was hanging from a nail through one of its hind paws.
She thought the cat was dead until she heard a faint wheezing noise and then called the Henry County Sheriff's Department. An animal control officer took the cat to Miller Veterinary Service in Atkinson.
Bristol said her neighbor recognized the cat as a stray another neighbor, who recently passed away, used to feed on a regular basis. The cat is microchipped, but efforts to reach the listed owner were unsuccessful.[/quote]

Basically this woman found a cat nailed to a utility pole on the side of the road. She thought it was dead until she heard it wheezing. It was taken to a vet by an animal control officer and died later today.
The cat was known as a stray that hung out around a guy who just recently died. The guy's neighbor has since taken up the cat and fed it. It disappeared a short time ago and was seen again today, nailed to the utility pole.
No one knows who did it, but PETA is offering a $2,500 reward to anyone who can find the person who killed the cat.

Looks like they are offering an reward for CATching the culprit.
Might want to put a [I]Nail[/I] on that coffin.
Reminds me of when I was year 12 at high school 2007 someone nailed a bird to a tree by our hangout spot. It was random as.
What a catastrophe.
Doing something like this to a defenceless animal... some people really are low.

How was the pole?
I'm sure polish people feel as much pain from nails as we do
PETA are very probably going to kill the person.
