INDUS, Minn. (AP) - A school principal has resigned and could face felony firearm charges after he shot and killed two orphaned kittens on school property last month.
Wade Pilloud, who resigned as principal of the K-12 Indus school, 40 miles west of International Falls, said he shot the kittens to spare them from starving to death after their mother was killed in an animal trap.
Pilloud said the shooting, which occurred on school grounds, endangered no one.
``I have bred cats, and I currently own two myself,'' he wrote Friday in an e-mail to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. ``I am not a cat hater. I did not want the animals to suffer.''

Man, am I disappointed.
No shotgun-toting, mad-as-hell, kitties of mass destruction photos from my fellow Freepers.
Must all be watching the Giant's game or at church.

I thought shooting feral cats was legal in Minn.
Having a gun on school property might not be however.

Where the kittens ill?
Probably not, but their mother was dead. I guess a bucket of water wasn't handy, that's the usual method of kitty control.

What? They have no animal shelters in Minnesota? It was cruel and out of line. :O(
To: szweig
Sorry, but if my child's principal fired a gun on school property (and it wasn't in defense of the students) I would not want my child going to that school. It's just poor judgment. There are agencies to take care of 'orphaned' animals. There was no need to fire the gun. For the record, I am NOT anti-gun, and I support the right to ownership. However, gun ownership also has certain responsibilities attached to it, and refraining from using it to fire at kittens on school property is one of them, in my opinion.

Fromt he article:
John Mastin, acting sheriff in Koochiching County, said Pilloud could be charged with felony possession of a firearm on school property and reckless discharge of a firearm, a misdemeanor.
Like you probably guessed, this isn't so much about killing cats as it is about having/discharging a gun on school premises.

Hasn't this idiot ever heard of the Humane Society? If not, than he's too ignorant to be an educator.

Poor precious kitties - would it have been so hard to have tried to find them good homes? Or to call the humane society. This cat-killer had choices and he chose the worst. Yes, make him resign.
