A Cat Fight in Kalamazoo: Owner Faces Criminal Charge Over Feline Fight

Sarah Hill allegedly has been harboring and feeding a dangerous criminal: her eight-year-old cat Cameron. She has been criminally charged under a Kalamazoo city ordinance after a neighbor reported that Cameron had attacked her cat.

She could face 90 days in jail and a $500 fine for the cat fight.

The neighbor Elizabeth Eisenbach reported to Kalamazoo County Animal Services and Enforcement that Hill’s cat had attacked her cat, William. Her witness account say that she saw Cameron chasing William down the street “attacking William’s rear end.” She eventually chased Cameron away and took William to the vet for scratches.

Hill is an associate professor of anthropology and environmental studies at Western Michigan University and has retained counsel.

It seems another example of the criminalization of America where civil disputes are turned into criminal matters, here.
