Morgan’s Trusted Tails

Yesterday, June 2, at approximately 6:00 PM, a truly heartless act of animal cruelty occurred at the corner of Wadsworth Road and Blake Road.

According to a witness, a red truck (possibly a Chevy) threw a trash bag from their moving vehicle while quickly rounding the corner. Thankfully, a resident at the property where the bag landed saw it happen. Something didn’t feel right, so she went to investigate.

What she found was horrifying.

Inside the trash bag were six live kittens, estimated to be just 3-4 weeks old. They were covered in f***s and had been discarded like garbage. Also found in the bag was a small Tupperware container containing milk.

Had this Good Samaritan not trusted her instincts and checked that bag, these kittens almost certainly would not have survived. At their age, they were far too young to fend for themselves, find food, escape danger, or even safely free themselves from the bag. They also endured being thrown from a moving vehicle before being left on the side of the road.

Thankfully, she immediately brought the kittens to safety, cleaned them up, fed them, and contacted us for assistance. Because of her actions, these kittens are alive today.

We are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the person responsible.

If you witnessed anything suspicious in the area of Wadsworth Road and Blake Road around 6:00 PM on June 2, or if you know of someone who had 6 kittens they were looking to “get rid of” and might own a red truck, please contact us. Any information, no matter how small it may seem, could help.

There are situations where animal abandonment stems from lack of resources, or difficult circumstances and others try to extend sympathy towards their actions. This is not one of those situations that calls for sympathy. Placing six helpless kittens into a trash bag and throwing them from a moving vehicle is not a misunderstanding, a mistake, or an act of desperation, it is animal cruelty. Plain and simple.

We are appalled beyond measure and are committed to pursuing every lead available. The person responsible needs to be held accountable.

Please share this post. Someone knows who did this.

Most pet parents focus on what’s in their pet’s bowl🥣, but this conversation shows that what the food is stored in matters just as much!

Materials like glass, food grade ceramic, and stainless steel sit at the top because they’re inert and don’t interact with food, while plastics fall into a spectrum depending on their type, quality, and condition. More stable plastics like #2, #4, and #5 can be reasonable options, but they’re still not completely inert, especially over time with exposure to fats, heat, and wear. Lower-quality or unknown plastics ( #3, #6, 7) raise more concern due to additives and higher potential for chemical migration, particularly when containers become scratched, cloudy, or degraded. Silicone is stable for short term use, but capable of absorbing oils and odours with long-term use.

One of the most practical takeaways is that storage habits matter: keeping kibble in its original bag and placing the whole bag inside a container helps reduce direct contact and preserves freshness. It’s nearly impossible to eliminate plastic entirely, but reducing long-term exposure from everyday storage is possible.
