Man Cited For Drowning Neighbor’s Cat In Grand Junction
A man in an Orchard Mesa Neighborhood in Grand Junction was cited for drowning his neighbor's cat. Here's what he has to say about it.
"I didn't go out to kill somebody’s cat, I didn't go cat hunting," said Ed Haynes.
Ed Haynes of Grand Junction was tired of a cat ruining his lawn. He tried a chemical compound, he tried calling animal services and local shelters. They don't allow feral cats and legally, Mesa County Animal Services can't take cats because there is no leash law.
