An astonishing moment when 11 abandoned cats were cut out of large cardboard boxes heavily sealed with tape. There are several women cutting the cats out. The cats look a bit dazed from being so dangerously confined for an unknown time. A spokesperson for the Celia Hammond Animal Trust, a London-based animal advocacy group said: “We can only assume the intention was for them to die, as surely everybody knows animals need to be able to breathe to survive,” the Facebook post read. “The boxes cannot have been there very long as without oxygen, our vets estimate they probably wouldn’t have lived more than an hour or two.”
Note: there is a 30 second advert before the video – sorry but you’ll have to plough through it! It’s worth it.
Abandoning cats in boxes or crates outside animal rescue centers is not that uncommon but this is the first time I have seen the moment that the cats were released from sealed boxes.
Tears…Thankfully these precious kitties were rescued. 😥🙏🙏💜💜💜🐾
I agree with you Albert. They could have been murdered or tortured. Even though dumping in a sealed box is bad enough though. I curse that person(s) who did to suffer a fate worse than death.
Oh I just saw they were abandoned in an alleyway! I thought they were dropped at the trust or where they’d be found.
At least they weren’t brutally killed and just thrown in a dumpster, but this is still very cruel. They do look dazed for sure and very friendly, calm and adoptable. I feel for every one of them. Why, why, why do people do this?…
