10 new born kittens abandoned in plastic bag!

I'm glad this had a happy ending:

If anyone knows anything, then please call 416-222-TIPS. This is just flat out wrong and whoever did this needs to pay for what they did.

At least that story had a happy ending (i'm soooo glad) because my sister's friend lives on a farm, and she said that her uncle found ferrel kittens, didn't want them, and drowned them in his sewage tank! It was heartbreaking!:sad: I asked my sister's friend why didn't she stop him or say something, but she just said 'oh, that is the way it should be'

It's an outrage!

I'm glad these kittens are okay nw.

Anyone who's done this must also have done it before.People are sick. I knew a social worker who refused to have his female dog spayed...Everytime she gave birth he took the babies and putt hem in his freezer. We called the authorities, went to court and we were told that what he did was humane...can you beleive that....HUMANE>>>I'd like to stick him in the freezer.

And I hope you did the right thing and contacted the SPCA/Humane Society. Now I know this is going to come out bad, but I don't mean it like that..but... Knowingly letting people who do this and get away from it is just as bad.

Sick Sick Sick!!!! HOW can people do this? Knowingly let an animal SUFFER? I mean there is euthanasia IF needed! HOW can someone murder poor defenseless animals? There is a place where people like this will end up when their time comes, I am satisfied knowing that their time will come, where they will pay for what they do. I could never know about someone that lets an animal suffer, tortured, and killed and not do anything about it, you would have to hold me back so I don't end up hurting someone! Poor babies, suffering, and not knowing why or what is going on, when they never did anything wrong, they did not ask to be born! And the mother cats didn't have a choice where they ended up!!

These poor animals have NO say in where they go, and who takes care of them! Then some end up in the hands of heartless morons, they do nothing wrong, then suffer and pay the ultimate price, I cannot swallow any of it. I am angry, sad, confused, and numb... Poor things..

What gets me is this is probably a cat owner who refuses to spay his/her cat and lets the cat roam outside. That alone is irresponsible. But throwing the litter of kittens out like garbage and think that all their problems are solved… is unbelievably inhumane! They went from lazy pet owner to criminal.

I’ve been trying to look for any updates, but nothing so far. I fear this story will just fade away and the culprit will get away with it. This is just the beginning of when cats reproduce? What happens in a few weeks when the cat that lost her litter of 10 gets pregnant again? Or how many times has this person done it before?

This is a horrible ongoing cycle. People just don't care. And unfortunately, in our society there are people who see cats as expendable vermin.:sad:

I was told tonight that they had a write up in the Toronto Sun about this. One of the kittens didn't make it. :sad: little one. You sure didn't deserve this.

Seven orange and beige kittens, about 6 weeks old were abandoned in a box in Ste. Anne de Belleview bordering Beaconsfield, Quebec. We were able to place them and they are now safe and sound. They are just gorgeous and will find homes quickly. TO THE PEOPLE THAT DUMPED THEM ON THE EDGE OF THE FOREST, MAY GOD PUNISH YOU ONE DAY.

I would also like to mention that this is the worst time of the year for dumping kittens. :sad:

Please stop and check all bags and boxes you see on your travels.
