Reward posted to find cat torturer
By BERT LOZANO / WFAA ABC 8
DALLAS, Texas - Wayne McAdams made a horrible discovery on his driveway Wednesday morning.
He found his 3-year-old cat Fiona dead.
Her legs had been bound with a nylon cord.
"Back there where the cord was wrapped around her feet, the skin was starting to peel back. It looks like they picked her up and swung her around."
And likely slammed the cat against the pavement.
Michelle McAdams says her 12-year-old daughter had a special attachment to the cat and named her Princess Fiona after a character on Shrek.
"She loved that cat more than the world - it's going to break her heart," she says.
The McAdams don't believe this was a random attack. They feel their family was targeted and that killing Fiona was meant to be a cruel message.
The McAdams are members of the neighborhood crime watch and had recently reported a group of teens to police.
"Trying to enforce the curfew and stuff like that the park has you know, they are looking to get even with us."
The SPCA is offering a $1,000 reward for the arrest and indictment of those involved in the cat's death.
The type of person that would be involved in this violent crime has problems that could escalate to more animals being harmed or killed or even people.
The McAdams say they won't be intimidated by those who killed Fiona and will continue to serve on the neighborhood crime program.
