Baby Kittens found.
This makes me sick. I cannot fathom the mind of the *******s that did this.
A question though... I wonder about the mother of the kittens. Wouldn't she NEED to nurse? Wouldn't she fret over the loss of kittens so young their eyes were not even open? I would love to pass sentence on the people that dumped the kittens. http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Stor...2-012/page.asp It's the kind of incident that makes people stop and ask 'how could anybody do that'? Animal advocates in Barrie are wondering just that, after a disturbing discovery on Monday. A woman out for a jog heard a strange sound emanating from a trash can as she ran along her regular route. When she went to investigate, she was stunned by what she found - five newborn kittens wrapped in a blanket and discarded like garbage along the road. Some were a few weeks old, others only a matter of days. The woman did a different kind of running after that, speeding the litter to the police, who turned them over to a local vet. The tiny creatures are now in the care of two loving foster parents, Julie and Jack Robson. They've been up at all hours ensuring the survival of the felines. "This is a process that you go through feeding kittens, and it could be every two to three hours, 24 hours a day," admits Julie, who agrees it's worth it. "I think they'll be fine. God willing, we're going to have some healthy kittens to show to people." Barrie Police may never know who tossed the animals away, but it's expected they'll wind up much better in life than they started. All five of the adorable animals will be put up for adoption at the local Humane Society in six or seven weeks. And given their history, it's not likely they'll stay there long.

What's even weirder about that story is the kittens were different ages. The article said some were several weeks old, and some just days. I hope it wasn't some idiot amateur breeder. Two years ago, my sister's brother-in-law found a tiny kitten in a garbage can in the basement of his apartment building. When I was maybe 10 years old, I found a kitten in a garbage can outside a house down the block from my apartment. It really does boggle the mind. I guess the only good thing you can say is at least the morons didn't kill them before throwing them out. -- Liz |

They said the kittens ranged in age meaning they were likely from two
different litters. -- ..oO rach Oo. "Hodge" wrote in message et... In article , ".oO rach Oo." wrote: five newborn kittens wrapped in a blanket and discarded like garbage along the road. Some were a few weeks old, others only a matter of days. The writer lost me. Either they were newborns OR they were a few days or a few weeks old. Not exactly stellar writing there. Or even clear. -- http://www.slywy.com/pages/hodge.html |

Either they were newborns OR they were a few days or a few weeks old. Not exactly stellar writing there. Or even clear. I took it to mean that some demented soul dumped two litters. Very possible if they had two females. When I was in my teens, our two females (mother and daughter) had kittens a few weeks apart. Mary ( older cat) was a good mother. Lady (her daughter) was not very interested in her kittens, Mary would yell and bat at her to make her getinthe box with the babies. |

It's stuff like this that would drive me to hunt this person(s) down and
put them into a hospital. This person better PRAY I never find out who they are. If it isn't bad enough to run down ones pet in the street, it's another to callously discard these innocent beings into the trash. Now, to the ASSHOLE who did this, you better turn yourself in, if not, I hope your conscious eats you alive. That is if I don't get to you first... Craig ..oO rach Oo. wrote: This makes me sick.
