I just get almost physically ill when I hear of this kind of stuff. I can't imagine what kind of sub human would do this to a 7 week old kitten..makes you wonder if they'd do it to an infant as well.
Nine years ago, the previous owner of our home in the country left 26 cats behind. We used a live animal trap, caught them, put them in a wire cage and took them to the humane society. Bad part was they got scared when we put them in the vehicle and pooped everywhere, it was disgusting!
I could never hurt an animal...hubby shoots squirrels because they have been stripping the bark off of his trees, which kills the branches. He has to do it when I am not there and not tell me about it.
