A $1,000 reward is being offered for the conviction of whoever body-wrapped a cat in duct tape and abandoned it in a North Philadelphia yard.
Only its head was uncovered.
"Whoever did this is very sick," said George Bengal, director investigations for the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is headquartered in North Philadelphia.
"I've never seen a cat totally wrapped like a mummy before," he told 6ABC.
A resident of the 2200 block of Edgley Street found the cat yesterday afternoon.
"It's a damn shame," Irissa Torian told CBS3.
The female cat - nicknamed "Sticky" by workers at the PSPCA - was sedated so the tape could be cut away with scissors and saved as evidence.
Afterward, the cat was doing well.
"She's a very friendly little thing," said Gail Luciani, PSCPA spokeswoman. ". . . She was purring while we were preparing to take the tape off, while we were getting her sedated."
"We're lucky that the tape was not on the cat for a long time. It came off easily," she said.
"I don't have an estimate of how old she is. She is an adult," she added.
Anyone with information about this case should call the PSPCA's cruelty hotline at 866-601-7722.
OH PUKE!
BTW, very nice cache.
Well...see that’s where your bitter disconnect is! The next time you see a story about a taped up fetus, post it..
I think the Viking Kitties need to take a little ride and pay a little visit to our new found friend...y’know, just a little “welcome to the neighborhood” gift...one the little puke can’t refuse.
There’s reason I said it.
Wasn’t trying to be mean or anything.
Previously got too many trolls FReepmailing me or people flaming me in FReepmail.
So I don’t bother reading it anymore unless I know the poster.
understood. thanks for the polite reply.
see you on FR
Welcome.
Don't yell at me, its her choice: either the duct tape or the brush.....its a fight either way.
And in your little fantasy scenario, would that sign be attached to the sick animal-abuser or the wacko vigilante?
Oh I vote for the abuser!
I tend to agree, if the cat was able to move and function, IE not duct taped into a ball so it was immobile and would have wound up starving to death, I really don’t see this as a horrific example of animal abuse.
Not exactly nice, but hardly is this an example of horrific cruelty.
Hey, thanks for the advice. I'll certainly check it out........
