Constable Rosen's Office were assisted by the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

What they're saying:

"There is a right way and a wrong way to treat animals and this way was not only wrong, but criminal," Constable Alan Rosen said. "We know that for many people, pets are family and this should have never happened. If she did not want the kitten, there were plenty of ways to put it up for adoption."
