This just in from PETA :

On December 26, 2003, two Menominee police officers came to the assistance of a citizen who no longer wanted her potentially aggressive cat. Upon consulting with their sergeant, and rather than exploring humane options available to them, the officers threw the animal—now helplessly confined to her carrier—into a nearby river to drown.

The alleged attack not only flies in the face of American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) guidelines, which unconditionally condemn drowning as a method of killing, but was an explicit violation of Michigan’s anti-cruelty statute.
