Kittens Rescued From Being Used for Bait

Post by DMS »

WTF is wrong with some people????

Kittens Bound With Fishing Line Rescued From Being Used for Bait.

WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- A couple of youngsters rescued two kittens found bound fishing line on a boat in a storage yard in suburban West Palm Beach.

The kittens, some believe, were destined to be used as fish bait.

Rescuers said the kittens front paws were tied together with fishing line so tightly they swelled to three times the normal size.

The kittens were near death.

Inga Hanley of the area's Adopt-A-Cat Foundation said she's seen kittens used as bait for various trapping events and calls it nothing new.

"They use them for gator bait," she said.

"There's a lot of things people do with little kittens, that's why they always tell you 'don't advertise free kittens in the paper' because a lot of horrible things happen to them."

She hopes they will be able to recuperate enough to fight off the infection on their paws.

Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.

Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.
