Some people should be SHOT!

Thanx Lamby, AFTER the second try. Sweetie, this is what we do. We tie his hand and feet and hang him upside down for a week, without any water or food. That ought to bring him to his senses. TATA.

ElixBxn- The lack of humanity in our society at times overwhelms me with a deep sorrow. I sometimes wonder how people have become so brutal, even if we are animals. We supposedly have something animals do not possess, but when I read such cases I wonder if that is an absolute or a hit or miss. It was a miracle that someone found this poor kitten and was able to get it the help it needed. The poor dear! I would hope that Artemis would serve justice to the person responsible for such cruelty. Namaste-Anora

A few years ago some jerk in Florida left his dog in the car and he was given a choice of suffering what his dog did or 3 days in jail. He chose the car and spent 3 days in the hospital. Unfortunately, they were able to pull him through. Thank God the dog was alright, too, after days in the vet hospital. People who do things like that should be locked away from society and sterilized.

pEOPLE CAN BE SO CRUEL TO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. i HAVE SAID FOR A LONG TIME if when people do cruel things they were punished the same way alot of that meaness would stop. This is a good example of that.

The sad thing is tis thing happens all the time.

it's really a sad news, sometimes there are some sick people who do nasty deeds and very inhuman, but come to think of it, there are lots of news everyday about bombing, massacre, rape, and other heinous crimes and all these perpetrators should be shoved in a hot dry box, as you said

Sad thing is that some of the pounds actually have a night deposit similar to that. It's horrible any way you look at it.

Your assumption about the person who did this being a 'he' would be statistically correct. The age of the person would be anywhere from early teens to late 30's. The motive for this? Don't know, but the fact the kitten was left in a place where it was guaranteed to be found would suggest that the person wanted it to receive veterinary care but couldn't afford the cost. The person knew that the kitten would be found relatively quickly and that the appropriate medical care would be given, so can we say it was a 'heartless' act? Not really. The kitten could easily have been killed and dumped in the rubbish, which would have been a 'heartless' act.

Don't get me started. About 2 weeks ago, a woman brought two kittens back to the adoption center. She had been calling for over a month, b*tching that her husband had adopted these two kittens even though she hates cats. She told us they had an eye infection. And then she left the two kittens shoved into a small room or garage or something, no affection, just food and water, no treatment for the eye infections for over a month before she brought them back. Their eyes were really awful by the time we got them. She had done nothing whatsoever to treat them, and apparently her stupid husband didn't either. And as soon as one of our volunteers picked them up, instant purr. Poor babies. If only there were a fool proof idiot test that we could do when deciding whether or not it's OK to allow somebody to adopt a pet.

I hate it. I just can nit understand what makes a person so cruel and cold. I never want to know anyone like that and it breaks my heart.

A member of the human race did that?! A libary book drop. what will they think of next?! I hope the poor kitten has done allright for itself since you first posted this. but do you wonder if that person put the kitten there knowing that it would be found? well it is a thought.

I don't understand how anyone can be so cruel to a cute harmless kitten. With this type of person, I guess they could have done something worse to him, but it is hard to imagine what. At least he is getting good care now, hopefully he will be alright!

I'm sure the cat is fine. I'm unsure of the fact this article is true. It could be, or it could not be. However, one thing is true, some people are cruel to animals. I used to fall for articles like that too, but i wised up. However, you have to remember, people are considered animals too, and survival of the fittest comes true when you see another human doing a deplorable act.

Words fail me at just how cruel some people can be, I just do not know how anybody could be so vile...horrendous!! And to call them a slug is an insult to slugs!!

Any one that treats an animal or a child or anyone with an form of mistreatment or cruelty should be bound by the same type of cruelty that they dished out or something equally as bad as they gave! I truly believe this to be a law waiting to be written! Poor animals and children are so trusting and so innocent this allows people to mistreat them horribly as well as the fact that they just can not defend themselves. The people that will or do hurt them are nothing but cowards of the worst kind!!!

Stories like this make me do darn angry and I would dearly love to grab the individual that placed the kitten in the book drop box and shove him or her in a confined space for a day or so! Grrrr!!! I hope the little kitty pulls through; I’m sure he won’t have any problems finding a home, he is so sweet...Why not take him straight to the rescue centre? Heartless idiot, who ever did this...

There are alot of nasty people out there that cause alot of distress to all animals.I think that if there were stronger sentences on treating animals wrong then there would be alot less of it going on.There seems alot more people dumping cats nowadays for some reason,aswell as taking kittens away from their mothers too early.

Hi Elic, Ohhh, poor baby. I hope he'll be ok. Sometimes I say I like animals better than people. It's things like this that make me say that. :::sighs:::

What can I do if somebody left a kitten in a book drop ???? I have seen enough to be out of empathy for a while .....
