Elkhart County Protestors Angry at RV Workers

ELKHART, Ind.–If you’ve been following the story of the three men who worked for Jayco RV in Middlebury, who got rid of some cats by putting them in a trash compactor while they were alive, were arrested and the charges dropped soon after, a group called Meow Mission is fighting to have those charges reinstated.

The group staged a protest in Elkhart Wednesday outside the county prosecutor’s office.

“We just want the prosecutor to know that we want justice and we want charges refiled in this case,” said the narrator of several Facebook videos of the protest, which were streamed while the protest was happening.

The incident happened Feb. 27, but charges weren’t filed until this month. Then, almost immediately, the felony animal cruelty charges were dropped.

It was unclear why.

“We want these three men to be charged and see their day in court,” said one of the protesters.

The men were fired from their jobs once charges were filed. The company disavowed their actions.
