A woman in the Cariboo urges people who cannot care for pets to contact her for help instead of abandoning them.
Lacey May Ranger of Horsefly said there have been multiple cats and dogs left to die the last few weeks.
“It is disgusting,” she told the Tribune.
Ranger shared a photograph of a tiny baby kitten that was dropped off at a ranch near 150 Mile House recently.
“She should have still been drinking warm milk from her momma,” she said. “The people at the ranch didn’t even know she was there and by the time they found her, she was suffering from malnutrition, and frost bite from the freezing cold.”
Even the best efforts of everyone around could not save the kitten’s life, she added.
“Please stop dumping animals,” Ranger insisted, noting she will come and gather them. “Can you imagine starving and freezing to death?
Ranger said there were two other boxes of kittens and a dog left at near 150 Mile House and another at the transfer station in Williams Lake.
