Sarah Reveley was disturbed by the sight of Cedric with a dart through its neck when she was feeding neighborhood squirrels in her backyard. “It freaked me out, I couldn’t believe it,” Sarah Reveley told KSAT last month. “It just kills me. I feel it. I feel it in me. It’s just horrible.” Reveley said she saw Cedric the squirrel, who she named, with a dart lodged in its neck on Aug. 25 and on Sept. 1.After failed attempts to catch and help the squirrel, Reveley feared Cedric had died. “Sure, it’s just a squirrel. But what if it was your dog? What if it was your grandchild? What if it was you?” Reveley told KSAT last month. Reveley previously offered a $500 reward to assist the Alamo Heights Police Department and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. “What squares me is whoever did that lives around here somewhere. It could be one of my neighbors,” Reveley said.“A blow dart is not considered legal means and methods for hunting game animals, which a squirrel like the one pictured is considered,” the statement said. “The penalty for this is a class C misdemeanor.
