I am shocked and appalled...they put down a tiny kitten? They could have given it a bit of time to get used to people. It was probably so frightened it was just reacting the only way it knew how.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that there is so much intolerance for ferals and strays. I just read about a town here in MO called Iberia, where the local police routinely shoot stray dogs in the head to get rid of them. The town is small and they don't have enough money for a shelter so they just take them to a vacant lot and shoot them. They don't even have to be viscious or aggresive to get picked up. A good deal of the towns people are all for this...and the others are fighting it. That is how it made it to the news. I just made me sick to think of it.
