Live Cat Found Dumped In Bin Bag
A dustman found a live cat dumped in a bin bag in Plymouth. Unfortunately the animal was so badly injured it had to be put down.
According to the BBC News:
Vet Duncan MacWhirter, of Woolwell Vets in Plymouth, said: “Someone could have done something. Owning an animal is not a right. It is a privilege.” ‘Sad and unpleasant’
He said that as a vet he had seen some horrific incidents, but he was still shocked at the discovery.
The small female black cat had its two rear left legs broken.
“It was very sad and unpleasant to see it in that state,” said Mr MacWhirter.
“But for people to put it in the bin is unbelievably cruel and thoughtless.
“A lot of people don’t think about the responsibilities that come with having a pet.
“There is no reason for something like this to happen.
“It could have been taken to a vet, the RSPCA or the PDSA and if you don’t have any money they will help you.”
Mr Foley, 29, of Coxside, said: “We tipped the bin up and the rubbish fell into the back of the lorry. We heard the cat and it sounded distressed.
“It had obviously been buried quite deep in the bin but it had managed, even with broken legs, to get itself to the top.”
