The Calgary Humane Society is investigating after a dead kitten was found in the southwest community of Kingsland on Monday.
Peace officers found the feline zip-tied to a fence.
A necropsy determined the animal suffered blunt force trauma to its head and abdomen.
"This offense is the most recent and egregious in a series of similar events in the area of Sandy Beach/Kingsland over the summer," said the Calgary Humane Society in a Wednesday news release,
Officials say six kittens, all in the range of six to eight weeks old, have been found in public spaces in "various states of distress" since May 30.
"In several of these cases, kittens’ paws have been bound and they have been covered in a tar-like substance," said the humane society.
