NRA CEO Doug Hamlin's Past Involvement in Gruesome Fraternity Cat Killing Resurfaces

Hamlin, appointed amid NRA's leadership turmoil, pleaded no contest to animal cruelty charges in 1980.

Hamlin, along with four fraternity brothers, was charged with animal cruelty after torturing and killing a cat at the University of Michigan.
The 1980 incident involved mutilating the cat and setting it on fire, reportedly due to frustration over the cat's litterbox habits.
Hamlin completed 200 hours of community service, after which the charges were expunged from his record.
The revelation has reignited criticism of the NRA's leadership, following previous scandals involving former CEO Wayne LaPierre.
Hamlin has not commented on the resurfaced allegations, which have drawn condemnation from animal rights activists and gun control advocates.
