Dead Cat Found--- Injuries Caused By Wild Predators
Somerville Police received a call today, Thursday, September 17, regarding a deceased cat that was substantially mutilated.

It appears that the two predators may have been fighting over the cat leading to the extreme injuries.

We stand with and are proud of the peaceful protesters for voicing their calls for change and for demanding that what happened to Mr. Floyd, never happens again.
