In Ozark, Alabama, a veterinarian was charged with two counts of animal cruelty on Thursday. Dr. Richard Timothy Logan, 65, is alleged to have abused a cat he was treating.
According to the Sacramento Bee, an investigation began in November 2020, and authorities were also made aware of a video posted on social media released in April of the alleged animal abuse. Dr. Logan is a veterinarian at Andrews Avenue Animal Hospital.
In the viral video, Logan could be seen slamming the cat by its head into the exam table, punching the cat and then picking the cat up by its collar and dropping it. Ozark police reported the cat has recovered and is doing well with his owner.
The Alabama State Board of Veterinary Medicine will also be conducting an investigation.
