Justice for Cats Crushed Alive in Trash Compactor

On February 27, 2025, three now-former employees at Jayco RV in Elkhart County, Indiana, shoved two live cats into a microwave box, placed that box into a trash compactor, and used the compactor to crush them to death. Despite the profound brutality of these actions, the county prosecutor decided to drop all charges against the perpetrators. She does not plan to refile.

The prosecutor who made this shocking decision claims that the former employees’ actions are not animal cruelty under Indiana law. This is ludicrous and unacceptable.
