Brown County authorities say they have a suspect in the dumping of at least 16 cats into a ditch outside of Aberdeen and are considering charges.

Chief Sheriff's Deputy Tom Schmitt says a witness saw the person stop on the rural road Monday night and throw the cats from a vehicle.

Schmitt says the cats that deputies and others managed to catch are diseased and malnourished, and some likely will die.

The cats were taken to the city pound.

The guilty party needs to do some jail time! Cruelty to animals is distasteful, especially in the 21st century. Shelters will take unwanted animals.
