Who is killing cats in Mid-city? The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals wants to know. It follows a number of cat killings.
In the most recent case, the cat was apparently beating to death.
"During the necropsy it was determined the cat died from blunt force trauma. This was the 10th cat to be found in this area," said Communications Director Katherine LeBlanc.
The LA/SPCA is asking for anyone within the area bounded by Orleans, Tulane, Murat and Jeff Davis for help. Their phone number is (504) 368-5191.

"Animal cruelty is a pre-cursor to violence against humans," group CEO Ana Zorrilla said in the news release. "This case is not only disturbing because of the trauma that this cat endured, but also because there is a member of our community who thinks it is ok to torture living creatures. It is only a matter of time before this escalates."
LeBlanc says that the LA/SPCA is expecting more bodies to turn up as they investigate.
