We have a cat who was saved from the drink. My wife worked for a bank in Kirkland Lake, and it was the last kitten. The husband of a co-worker came in to see if anyone knew anyone who wanted a cat, if not, he was going to drown it. I was disgusted by this, and my wife was telling me it happens all the time up there, because there is no OSPCA to take care of strays. I don't agree with it, but I think the reason that this isn't seen as a crime is because it is an "alternative" to having them put down. I would think that in order to be charged with cruelty, you'd have to prove intent, and some people honestly believe it is better to drown them that let them live in possible poor conditions. I, by the way, am not one of those people.
