A 14 year old from Greenwich is charged in juvenile court after allegedly breaking all four legs of a live cat and tearing off the limbs while a younger boy watched. Humane Society executive director Mrs Norman Ward said the cat was taken from an 8 year old and the youth also crushed its head against a meter and twisted its neck. The society is also probing two shooting incidents involving a dog and a Great Blue Heron. A gray poodle found unconscious tied to a tree near Grand Avenue on Nov 15 was shot in the head and is recovering under Dr James G Ryder care. A $100 reward is offered for information leading to the dog’s arrest and conviction. The heron, shot in the left wing near Fayette Road, is under treatment and expected to recover with care from a zoo or conservation authorities to follow.
