Animals found in storage locker

[Catherine]

This story does have a happy ending. A woman left a cat and a dog in a storage facility. The dog was in a crate and the cat was tapped up. Fortunately staff at the facility heard noises and checked them out. The cat and dog were rescued in time. It gets cold in Calgary and they could have died.

The person who left them has been charged and the cat and dog have found new homes.

Not only has the person been charged, she received a 22 month sentence. The is the longest penalty for animal cruelty ever given in Alberta.  It is not that long, but at least it is enough to make people think about the seriousness of animal abuse.
