Yes, the only thing worse is the shitbag who will not spay or neuter their animals making this behavior inevitable.

Ya know this was stander practice back in the day! I can remember my great grandpa killing kittens with a hammer cause momma cat didnt have enough milk for all of them.. And nobody cared back then.. He thought he was doing a good thing so all wound not starve. Things have sure changed. Not condoning

I remember kittens being dropped off at our dairy barn. We gladly feed our cats kibble and fresh milk. We also spay and neuter them. We would gladly take more unwanted kitties and other dairy families would to. Wonderful rodent control…

My heart breaks for those poor kitties and it shouldn’t have been standard practice back in the day either!

Killing kittens? It takes a special kind of psycho to do that.

I kinda feel the same way about these guys in Ferndale butchering these baby dairy cows cause they are male. I Find them in the field knowing whats in store for them! Thought about taking one home one time to save but you know people frown on rustling.

There is a great deal bad to say about someone who tries to drown kittens in such a way that two are left clinging to life long enough to be taken to the vet 6 hours later. A lot.

But I would not be surprised to hear that you eat meat.
We all justify various behaviors and condem others based on what is currently acceptable or not.
I do not kill kittens, but I do accept that it is normal practice in some places and is probably less cruel than letting them starve, die of disease, or live a life killing songbirds.
Getting law enforcement involved seems extreme….someone torturing animals, another story.
As for the job Kym does….AWESOME even with her occasional errors. We ALL make ’em😊
