This sickened me. Don't read if you feel it would bother you. Made me want to cry at the ignorance of some people...

That is an awful story Eileen and probably that sort of story will become more frequent as the cash crisis deepens.

I remember being quite shocked when I learned that many people in this country had their animals pts or killed them at the beginning of WW2 - because there was no food to spare for "pets" and because the owners were scared their pets would die horrible deaths from poisonous gas.

Not quite the same reasons I agree - but it does indicate what some people see as priorities and the sort of solutions that they take up.

Oh dear, poor kitty. Ignorance is no excuse for these people, this was a pre-meditated act, it took organising. It's wrong, very wrong.

You're so right! Things weren't as bad here foodwise during WWII, but we did have rationing, and my mom told us very definitely that a part of our meat coupons would go to Scamper, our ginger tom ..... he was family!
