9 Registered Animal Abusers In Cattaraugus County

These people in Cattaraugus won't be participating in National Pet week ever again, thankfully. They are registered animal abusers! I think it takes a special kind of evil to hurt a harmless animal.

There are many resources available to rehome an animal if a person realizes they can't care for it.
