In Colorado City, Arizona someone half-buried a kitten alive in concrete (see:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/09/cat-buried-in-concrete-colorado-city-az_n_1660320.html). Despite efforts to free the kitten, it died a few days after being removed from the concrete. The local sheriffs refuse to investigate the crime. We would like to see this crime investigated and the guilty parties punished to the full extent of the law.
