Cat death unnecessary

I was saddened and sickened by the news of the cat killing at Sliters. As a volunteer with the Flathead Spay and Neuter Task Force, I'm often called to trap feral cats. Once trapped, cats are neutered and when possible returned to where they were captured. When this is not possible, as with the Sliters cat, every effort is made to relocate the cat to a safe place. It's unfortunate that Sliter's didn't call our organization or Flathead Animal Control for help, a cat wouldn't be beaten to death and I wouldn't be looking for a new place for my hardware purchases.
