Animal Control officer abandons sick kitten in the woods

[Catherine]

It is actually worse than it sounds. The animal control officer was called in when a sick kitten was found on the road. He took the kitten and then drove thirty miles out into the woods and left the kitten there. Rescuers have tried to find it, but no luck.
The kitten almost certainly died.

This officer has received some re-education and nothing else. He should be charged with animal abandonment and he should lose his job. He is hardly suitable as an animal control officer. He showed no concern for the welfare of the kitten.

All we can hope for is that the kitten didn't suffer too much. Alone, frightened and sick in the woods, it is too much to hope its death was peaceful.
