Biltmore Forest Police officers reported a cat was shot Monday around noon on Arboretum and Vanderbilt roads. Reports have come into them concerning slow moving vehicles in the area around the time of the shooting.

Asheville-based Brother Wolf Animal Rescue announced Monday they are asking for information on the “Biltmore Forest Serial Cat Killer.” The rescue is concerned since this isn’t the first cat shooting in the Biltmore Forest area. Another cat made a full recovery after being shot in January.

Eric Phelps, Field Operations Manager for Brother Wolf stated in an interview with Fox Carolina News.

“The cold-bloodedness of these crimes indicates what a danger this person is to all of us. Someone knows who did this, and will be doing a service to everyone by stepping forward.”

Phelps cited studies from the FBI and other law enforcement stating a person who commits cruelty to animals may escalate to violence against humans.

      And people wonder why I’m a hermit. I stay home because the way people act I’d just rather be around animals.
