A happy ending to a cruel act. Empty Cages Worldwide Cat Cruelly Set On Fire Adopted By Local Fireman A cat in recovery after being cruelly set ablaze in Philadelphia earlier this month has been adopted by a local firefighter. Lieutenant Stephen Paslawski said Campbell chose him by climbing onto his shoulder almost immediately when he visited the local PSPCA shelter. PSPCA officials said Paslawski was one of the first people to get in touch about adopting Campbell after news of the horrific attack broke. I was disgusted that anyone could do this to any animal, said Paslawski. I had recently put another cat I had down due to a large tumor, and with me being a firefighter, Campbell being burned, and the loss of my other cat, it just seemed like a perfect fit, he said. Two suspects have been charged in this case. Tyrique Hall and Jose Sanchez were charged with Conspiracy, Possession of an Instrument of Crime, and Cruelty to Animals. They face up to ten years each in jail, reports 6ABC. An eyewitness told the PSPCA that she saw a cat in flames running down a street in the Olney neighborhood on Sunday, November 10 and heard one of the men saying, I put a lot of fluid on it. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2514808/Cat-cruelly-set-ablaze-finds-new-home-firefighter-time-holidays.html
