How terrible of these "people" to dispose of them in such a way!! They should have let the mother raise them, then find them homes, and for goodness sakes, fix the mother!!!!! Not sure, but the description you give of the tails (corkscrew, short and no tail) suggest that these are from a Manx parent. I was just reading up on the Manx last week. I hope they all grow up well and healthy and find great homes.
