Waterloo Regional Police Service initiated an investigation after five kittens were found abandoned, four tied in a trash bag and one visibly injured beside the bag. The kittens, who appeared to be from the same eight-week-old litter, were taken to the Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth, where they were given medical care. Following the investigation, a thirty-seven-year-old woman and a forty-one-year-old man were both charged with causing and permitting distress to an animal. While the two accused individuals face provincial charges, the Humane Society reminds the public not to abandon animals for any reason. Read more here.
