After Red’s owners posted on Facebook about their cat getting shot in the head with the dart, they found that this wasn’t the only occurrence.
“This is very scary because we’re right next to an elementary school,” Red’s owner Katelyn Halpin told CBS News. “There’s someone going around shooting these specialty-ordered blowgun darts and it needs to stop and i really would like to know who is doing this.”
Local pet owners in North Idaho are taking more precautions with their pets as there is no suspect yet.
