I just don't get some people

Apparently my next door neighbors are adopting a kitten... There's a little
tortie girl in a carrier, been there since early this morning.

When I went out to pick greens for bunny's breakfast I heard the kitten
crying. No one around next door, so I had a look. A cooked chicken wing, a
dish of pork and beans with some potatos, half a bowl of muddy water, no
litterbox and the kitten is soaked in her own excrement with dozens of flies
biting her.

First thing I did was put an open umbrella over the carrier because it's
sitting in the full sun. Then I took over some real cat food (both wet and
dry) and a damp rag to clean up. "Washed" the kitten and the floor of the
carrier as best I could. Changed the water in the bowl. Added a small
shallow cardboard box lined with newspaper and pine litter.

Poor thing was starved more for attention than food. She quit crying for a
while after my ministrations. I've been back over there several times
through the day. What a sweet little thing she is! But judging from past
experience these neighbors do not know the word "spay", nor do they have the
first clue what "humane" means.

As for me, I walk around with an aching heart and feeling nauseated that I
cannot do more to help that poor baby. The people at that house hate me, of
course, because I once suggested that perhaps the reason their dog barks
non-stop is he does not enjoy living at the end of a short chain 24 x 7 x
365 without ever going for a walk, playing, or getting the slightest
attention paid to it.

So now they have a kitten. I bet they got it so their two-year-old twin boys
will have a helpless creature to maul.

Why in the world are they leaving it in the carrier? You know, that
kitten
*could* disappear. Seriously.

Yes.

Save the kitten, before it's too late.

Call the police or animal control or the Humane Society about the dog.

Some people just shouldn't have pets....or children, for that matter.

Well, especially children. But it's hard to do anything about that, now.

Have you thought of calling the humane society?

That kitten would have been at the vet and after in my pack the moment I saw
that scene. I would have never left it behind

Report them to the humane society. BTW, two year old children don't need
pets, they need parents. Doesn't sound to me like your neighbors are
qualified to have either one.

We don't have a humane society within an hour's drive. Animal Control will
only pick up pets that are running at large, and they make very little
effort to find owners.

They've got more than just the two-year-old boys, they have a baby, and two
older boys (under 10).

==================

No, it can't get out of the carrier. And they would instantly know who got
her. The umbrella has Dave's name and address on it, and it's been seen by
several people going in and out of that house today.

Not inciting anyone to break the law, of course.

But speaking from experience, there aren't likely to be repercussions
even if
the neighbors suspect who the guilty party is (or if the guilty party
just
gets caught red-handed).
Law enforcement/district attorneys aren't going to expend too much
effort on
such a case. And lawyers cost big money. In my case, the owners did
some
red-faced screaming and threatened litigation, but nothing ever came
of it.
That's one thing I can look back on and to this day be sure I did the
right thing,
even if it was the illegal thing.
