The dumping of rubbish, and possibly contaminated soil is one thing, but the dumping of newborn animals is seriously another.
\nOver a week ago at Gordon six kittens were found dumped on the side of the road in a box, abandoned by their owner.
\nA council spokesperson said a member of the public found them.
\n\u201cThey then brought them to Council\u2019s Community Safety team at Darley.\u201d
\nAnd at just an estimated age of 10-14 days, they would still be fully reliant on their mother\u2019s milk and warmth.
\nMoorabool Mayor David Edwards said there is a growing problem in the shire of unwanted litters of kittens.
\n\u201cThe right thing to do is have your cats and dogs de-sexed, and not abandon animals.
\n\u201cThese little fellas have been put in our kitten recovery program, as they are too young to go to the pound to be adopted,\u201d he said.
\nThe kittens are now in the care of a reputable rescue.
\nIf you find a lost pet in the area, please contact Council on 5366 7100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
