On September 22, 2024, in Georgetown, Kentucky, Christopher Jones shot Kristin Bradenburg's cat, Gray Baby, after claiming it was trespassing on his property. The cat suffered severe injuries from the bullet, which entered its chest and through its arm. Despite Bradenburg's efforts to save the animal by taking it to the vet, Gray Baby had to be euthanized due to the extent of the injuries. This incident raised concerns for Bradenburg about the safety of her other pets, as the attack was viewed as violent and unnecessary by her lawyer, Jaqueline Mayer. Jones was charged with the torture of a cat under Kentucky's recent legislation, Ethan's Law, which classifies such acts as a Class D felony. This was one of the first applications of the law, highlighting its significance in the fight against animal cruelty.
