Sign: Man Stepped On, Punched, And Beat Innocent Cat To Death

Published: February 22, 2024 at 07:14 PM Author: PENNY EIMS

Syracuse, NY – On January 25, 2024, the animal cruelty unit of the Syracuse Police Department arrested 24-year-old Frank Paglia for killing a cat named Milo. According to the authorities, Paglia brutalized the cat so badly that he had to be humanely euthanized.

The authorities detail what led up to Milo’s severe injuries:

It’s alleged that Paglia tried to get a dog to attack Milo, but he was scratched by the cat. Paglia retaliated by stepping on and punching Milo, as well as hitting him with objects.

Describing the devastating injuries that were revealed in Milo’s necropsy:

Milo suffered a right eye orbital fracture, with displacement of the eye, a skull fracture, as well as an open rib fracture which led to breathing difficulty.

This cat suffered HORRIBLY before being euthanized. What type of man brutally attacks a small cat? A person this depraved and violent must be put behind bars, safely away from society. Please add your name to the petition today! Animal Victory needs your support to help ensure Paglia receives the maximum punishment for his felony aggravated cruelty to animals charge.

We the undersigned demand that Frank Paglia face the maximum sentence for his egregious abuse of this innocent cat. This petition acts as our collective endorsement for this individual to be punished to the fullest extent of the law for this depraved crime. 

Individuals are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. Animal Victory relies upon the authorities and the court system to determine guilt or innocence.
