The largest animal liberation organization in the world plans to bring its new video series after a cat was shot by a pellet gun and lost his leg in Franklin Township.

People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals is bringing its new video series targeting people who let their cats wander outside in Franklin Township.

In the spot, a man appears to be relaxing on his porch until he reveals his sinister intentions by slowly pulling out a firearm and taking aim at a meowing cat off-screen.

The video ends with a message urging people to keep cats safe by keeping them indoors.

“The great outdoors is simply not great for cats, who can be perceived as a nuisance and harmed in heartbreaking and horrific ways,” said PETA Senior Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch. “PETA encourages all guardians to provide their cats with a happy and interesting indoor life safe from predators, speeding cars and the many other dangers of the outdoor world.”

In addition to enduring violence and abuse at the hands of cruel and intolerant people, cats allowed to roam outdoors — as well as homeless ones fed regularly by people who somehow believe that the animals don’t need other care — are at risk of contracting parasites or potentially fatal diseases, being attacked by predators or run over by cars and encountering other hazards.

PETA notes that cats kept indoors need to be physically and mentally stimulated with a view of the outdoors, toys, climbing structures, scratching posts, cat TV and other enrichment. PETA offers a catio-building guide as well as a “cat guardian’s bible” written by PETA President Ingrid Newkirk that’s full of tips.

PETA’s video series, which features “Y2K” actor Jaeden Martell, depicts other examples of cat-killing cases around the country.

Franklin Township police are investigating the shooting of the cat, Noodles with a pellet gun that resulted in it losing its leg.

Township police Chief Jason Doll said earlier this month that a report was made at 10:19 p.m. April 3 by Stacey Silliman, who lives in the 500 block of Rock Street.

Silliman told police her cat Noodles had left the home on April 2 and returned at 5 p.m. on April 3.

When the cat returned, Silliman noticed its paw was dragging and its leg was limp, so she took it to the emergency veterinarian.

It was discovered that the cat had two pellets lodged in it, one in its paw, the other in the chest.

Silliman made the choice to amputate Noodles’ leg, a procedure that cost $7,500.

Judy Henry of Franklin Township set up a GoFundMe account on behalf of Silliman to pay for medical bills for Noodles.

As of Tuesday morning, $400 of the $2,000 goal has been raised.
