Publics Help Needed in Kitten Abandonment Investigation

Snohomish County Animal Services is actively investigating a distressing animal cruelty case involving four newborn kittens found abandoned in a garbage bag beneath the US Highway 2 Trestle on February 21. Responding to a 911 call, Animal Control Officers quickly transported the surviving kittens to the Everett Animal Shelter for urgent medical care and evaluation. The location of the incident, which features a pedestrian walkway but no road, raises concerns about community awareness of such acts of cruelty. Despite their efforts, Snohomish County Animal Services currently has no leads and is reaching out to the public for assistance in gathering information regarding the abandonment. Anyone who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area is encouraged to contact the authorities.

In a related note, the Everett Police Department recently arrested a suspect in an unrelated murder case, further emphasizing the need for community vigilance. The public's role in reporting animal cruelty cannot be overstated, as it aids in holding offenders accountable. For those with information, contacting Snohomish County Animal Services or local law enforcement can make a difference.
