VIDEO: Humane Society Looking For Cold Hearted Cat Burglar

44. Again, While it certainly is not a good model of parenting.

Do you envision this bounty on her head to have a good outcome for the child?

I couldn't care less about the thievery from a kill shelter that in the end puts down any animal it deems past its usefulness date. My sole concern is that the bounty doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever other than in the end punishing a child who is likely not in a great situation to begin with. That IS cold hearted.

Do explain to me how this bounty is somehow helpful and not cold hearted. What good comes from it?

Obviously stealing from a shelter is not desirable behavior but that does not make the woman cold hearted. The shelter will survive without the $75 for the kitten. The child having a mother possibly arrested or unable to find work because of this could face a ton of negative impacts from this. Sure her mom should not be doing it in the first place but I am not in her shoes and don't know what drove her to do it. I do know that over a $75 adoption fee the shelter is more than willing to cause possible irreparable harm to the child and mother.

I don't find a kitten in a shelter worth that. Worse I find the shelters willingness to publicly shame a mother and child over it appalling. Spend the $500 on better security if stealing kittens is that large of a problem.

And once again for those in the audience who cant separate the theft from the shelters actions. Obviously stealing kittens from a shelter is not acceptable behavior I am in no way advocating stealing kittens from shelters I am simply disgusted by the shelters reaction to it.

But then people are much more important to me than kittens. YMMV
