Man Reportedly Strikes Kitten With Tree Limb, Says It Was Antagonizing His Pit Bull

A Buford man reportedly justified striking a kitten with a tree limb by saying the cat had been "acting like he was going to antagonize my pit bull."

Michael Paul Labron Glover, 40, of 1846 Sturgeon Road in Buford, called 911 on April 2 to report his neighbor's cat had been antagonizing his pit bull, which was chained in his mother's back yard. According to the police report, Glover said the cat had been tearing up his mother's garden as well and he was "sick of it." Glover claimed to have personally witnessed the cat tease his pit bull and that the cat had "no business being on [Glover's] property."

When asked what he did to resolve the issue, Glover reportedly replied, "I saw that little cat outside of my fence acting like he was going to antagonize my pit bull, so I grabbed a little stick and hit him with it."

The little stick, Glover later admitted, was a three-and-a-half foot long tree limb approximately an inch-and-a-half in diameter.

"The tree limb was large enough that I felt that it caused an officer safety issue by him holding it as he could cause serious to life [threatening] damage to a grown adult, much less a small kitten," the officer wrote in the report.
