In a heartbreaking Facebook post, the Beadle County Humane Society is demanding justice for this abused kitty. A bystander was fishing when he witnessed this poor cat getting thrown off the bridge near 403rd and 205th streets in Huron. Suddenly, the witness saw the heartless owner shoot the cat. The fisherman couldn't stand by and watch this cat suffer. He was this young cat's Guardian Angel...a hero.

This courageous man called animal control and then proceeded to go into the water after the cat. The cat had found a log to get on while waiting for rescue. During the rescue both human and cat struggled to stay above water. The cat of course was terrified and so his rescuer did suffer some bite wounds that required a trip to the emergency room.
