Anger after tabby cat found dumped in the snow outside Kinson vets (From Bournemouth Echo)

Look at the bigger picture, it seems to me that the owner was possibly in dire straights and maybe unable to cope, treat or care for the animal. Due to the changing attitude of our critical society maybe the owner could not face or was afraid to declare their situation in person but felt that the best course of action was detection by well qualified caring people by allowing them to trip over the box on their doorstep. The other course of action which thankfully wasn't taken would have been to put the box in a skip or something!!

we live in Moordown, Malvern Road and had a flyer for a missing cat through our door this week, a tabby that looks a lot like that but I can't find the flyer anywhere now, could it be the much loved, wanted missing cat?

Totally agree and without exception *all* the local rescue centres are full to bursting and have such long waiting lists to take animals in, that some owners simply cannot wait that long.

I don't agree that dumping animals is acceptable, but at least she was put where someone would find her. Not nice for the cat, but at least she will now be given a loving home - we hope :(

Yes I agree. I realise it was there for 3 hours poor thing, which wasnt really well thought about, but isn't it better to leave it outside a vets or pet shop rather than dumped somewhere with no hope of being found? I hope she gets rehomed though she looks lovely.

Enough of all this pampering cruel and cowardly owners. There are many cat shelters and rescue centres someone could take this poor animal to without dumping it in the cold, covered in fleas and with no warmth or food. Imagine how frightened the poor thing must have been. It is people like this that shows just how a sick this world has become if they can do that to an innocent pet.
It is time that deterrents were introduced for cruelty to animals and wilful abuse and abandonment. A prison sentence and a £5000 fine would sort these cowards out.
Perhaps when these cowards are old and unloved we should chuck them into a box with no warm clothes and no food and left to die in the cold. There is no difference whatever spin you put on it.

its sick i know where that cat lived and was going to take it and keep it and give it a good life well im reporting them its sick and people like that need to be prosecuted the cat did no wrong it was loveing and loved affection well i hope they are reading this as i am going to report them straight away people like that are the scum of the earth

Guys, I know this was cruel and please take a look at your comments. You say that anyone that does this to an animal is the scum of the earth, the lowest of the lowest. There are worse crimes out there then leaving a cat outside a vets. However some of you think it would be ok to do this to a human but not to an animal?!? ermmmm. get a grip.

I so hope you do report them as its disgusting to treat any living animal or person in this way. That poor cat must have been frightened out of her life. Granted the cat was left outside a vets, but would it have been so bad to have at least waited until they were open and then taken the cat in. People are cowards and need to take more responsibility for their actions....

No you need to get a grip. Letting cowards get away proves how we all live amongst scum. They need to be a taught a harsh lesson in how to act in a civilised world and not going around abusing innocent animals where young children of the next generation will think it is acceptable behaviour. If children see harsh punishments dealt out they will think twice before committing cruelty.
It is called a deterrent and something we need in the sick country

This cat was not only dumped but had been denied basic veterinary care by its so called owners.There is NO excuses for what happened to this cat. If you are in receipt of benefits, then the PDSA will help or on a low income various animal charities will help but you do have to ask. Yes, to some, it is only a cat but it is a criminal offence to neglect an animal and as such the owners deserve to be prosecuted. If you can't afford to look after a pet then don't get one.

Well said

The person(s) who dumped this cat probably have a house/flat that looks like Bobby Sands cell.
They clearly can't look after anything including their own lives.
RETARDS.

My point is proved.
