An innocent cat suffered a violent death because a grown man "didn't get along" with it. When questioned, Michael Mule claimed that the cat was fatally injured because it had repeatedly run into a sliding glass door, but a veterinarian determined (via x-ray) that the cat's neck broke because it had been twisted. And the police reviewed video footage from a camera which recorded what was happening inside of a room of the home - the video showed Mule with his hands around the cat's neck, carrying the "agitated and hissing" feline away.
The Port Orange veterinarian also informed the authorities that the couple had brought in other pets to be cremated - it is unknown if those pets suffered a violent death as well.
Mule must receive the maximum sentence for the felony animal cruelty charge, and he MUST be forbidden from being in possession of any pets in the future. Please add your named (and comments) to the petition today. We hope to convince court officials that Michael Mule should not receive a plea deal - he deserves jail time.
