To the Editor,
The cat population in Amherst and Springhill is out of control. Recently I found three small kittens under a pile of construction debris. They were clearly hungry and there was no sign of a mother cat.
So, as a logical person I brought them to the animal shelter and and was told by the woman there that they were full and could not take them. Then, she gave me a phone number for a veterinarian in Sackville who would euthanize them and that was the only other option.
On my way out the door in total disbelief as to what this woman was saying, she then tells me the veterinarian's prices are reasonable. I found these poor things and it becomes my responsibility to then pay to kill them? No wonder so many people just leave found animals right where they are when the people who are supposed to be a shelter tells you tough luck.
I am totally disgusted with the way these animals are taken care of by their "advocates."
