Three suspects have been identified and criminal charges are pending after multiple stray cats were shot with a heavy-duty dart gun at a Tennessee gas station, exposing what authorities say may be part of a much longer pattern of animal cruelty.
According to the National Enquirer, what started as a rescue mission over the weekend has turned into a criminal investigation involving multiple law enforcement agencies. The case has also sparked outrage over the treatment of a feral cat colony that had lived near the gas station for years.
