Bear with me please as I explain this situation I am in at work. I work at a military installation at the hospital which is close to some of the base housing. From time to time we get cats and kittens. Last batch a couple years ago the kittens trapped and turned into vet services. Of course we are in this situation again and all have been trapped but one, a 5 month old kitten. Myself and others were feeding the cats (3 until momma had 4 kittens) and catching flack for it, mainly me. The intent being that once momma had weaned the kittens then the MPs could trap them. To shorten the story, we have cat haters their at the hospital and one kitten was deliberatley run over, one kitten was bashed in the head and had to be put down and Saturday when I feed the last remaining cat/kitten, I found containers of antifreeze around!!!!! Needless to say I went crazy and have raised CAIN. Oh, and a coworker, whom I was responsible for getting them the job and have know for 34 years, filed a formal complaint against me for creating an unsafe work environment because the kitten hissed at her behind a fence. Because I have raised so much hell about this, I am being threatened with discipline if I continue to feed the kitten. My boss even went to Civilian Personnel to find out what he can do to me. I did report the antifreeze to animal services, but because I moved the containers I tampered with evidence. I told the guy the only fingerprints on the container would be mine and the individual involved. I also offered to help trap the kitten since I am experience in trapping and my understanding was that I could help him since they inhumanely trapped one of the males and left him in the blazing sun. I took care of him but reported animal services to the rescue organization the government has a contract with. Georgia code 16-14-2 makes it a felony if you intend to or maliciously cause death or harm to an animal. Federal instituations are to comply with state laws, but no one cares. We have an employee at our hospital doing this, so what else are they capable of. I really don't get it. Let's discipline me but let the real criminal go. Until animal services sets the traps, I am not abandoning that baby and she will be feed until they do. I do plan on setting my traps this weekend though. Can you guys believe this!! Sorry this is so long and probably confusing........and thanks for letting me vent. I am a firm believer in "WE ARE THEIR VOICE"
