Cat shelter worker has to be too firm with kittens as they try and escape their small glass-fronted cage. Screenshot.

Watch this cat shelter worker’s behavior and tell me what you think. I believe that the video was made in China or perhaps another Asian country and that this is an animal or cat shelter. The kittens want to get out of their little, glass-fronted cage. Of course. He opens the door and guess what happened? All of the kittens lunge for the exit which results in what we see in the video: the man pushing them back rapidly and I have to say with little or no delicacy. I understand why he did it. If the kittens escaped into the room, it might be hard to capture them. And perhaps he’d be in trouble with his supervisor but this is mad. And it was all videoed on what must be a security camera.
