The Calgary Humane Society is investigating after a dead kitten was found in the southwest community of Kingsland on Monday.

Peace officers found the feline zip-tied to a fence.

A necropsy determined the animal suffered blunt force trauma to its head and abdomen.

Officials say seven kittens in total, all in the range of six to eight weeks old, have been found in public spaces in "various states of distress" since May 30. Of those, two are dead.

"In several of these cases, kittens’ paws have been bound and they have been covered in a tar-like substance," said the humane society.

I wish I had never read that

Then you should never watch Dominion because it will show you the truth about the consequences of your choices. But if you cannot even stand to look at it, how can you stand to do it. When Dominion came out, I knew I could not watch it, and on that day I stopped abusing animals. Several years later I did watch it as an act of "witnessing" and I will never get it out of my head.

I'm not against reforming our agriculture practices, we should ensure they're as humans as possible (I'm sure you find that a pure contradiction though), but this is fundamentally different.

Our indifference to animal welfare is far from an active maliciousness.

most people don't want to watch an appendectomy or live childbirth either. that doesn't make them immoral or unnecessary. it sounds like you understand that your YouTube video is traumatizing, and spreading it to others is irresponsible.
