Schoolgirl saves cat in bag weighed down with bricks

Thugs who dumped a cat in a ditch in a sandbag weighed down with bricks are being hunted by animal welfare inspectors.

It was found by a schoolgirl on some playing fields in Haslingden, Rossendale, after she opened up the bag to see what was inside.

Readers of the Rossendale Free Press were outraged, yet cautious:

I can't believe something like this would happen in Haslingden!! This was right near my house.....

Poor cat: but: It was found by a schoolgirl on some playing fields in Haslingden, Rossendale, after she opened up the bag to see what was inside. This would have been a different story if there was a bomb inside the bag! I would urge people not to go looking in bags. especially if they have been left in public places.
