As some of you may or may not know I looked after a sick cat named Snuffles a few years ago who I have no doubt was dumped by someone who did not want to pay for her medical bills. Unfortunately by the time she built up enough trust to let me pick her up she was in full septic shock and had to be put to sleep.
I was watching something on tv today about the number of dumped unwanted litters and sick animals in rural areas and it got me thinking, why isn't there a bigger punishment for this behaviour? It's like abandoning a baby really. People who do that end up in prison but people who abandon animals don't get more than a slap on the wrist if that even.
