Edit: OK I'm a lot more chill now. Yeah she threw away their food, because of her "spiritual beliefs". Where I feed them is not on her property.

I just think it's a vile thing to do.

I'm not stopping, and I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm ready for a confrontation.

The idea that someone's beliefs are more important than innocent creatures lives is repugnant to me.

what? 😕

making animals suffer doesn't sound very spiritual

Think maybe the cat family he’s been looking after has had their food thrown away when he feeds them.

Probably. People do that to my wildlife water :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

yes, I think that's what has happened. It's awful.

I'm out of the loop on this, what happened?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Dumb bitch threw away the strays food because of her "beliefs".

Fuck that.

There’s always some nutbag who can’t mind their own business and has to touch things that aren’t theirs…

Can’t believe I didn’t remember this before. I think Klever Cages might have gone under now but they had enclosures you could snap together out of pipes and there was the option to add a waterproof partial cover.

spoiler


A few of the specialised parts (door hinge etc) could be tricky to find but for a simple open rectangular shelter it can be done with pipes and connectors from Bunnings plus a tarp. There are free plans online. You could even make the waterproofing full length and in an inconspicuous colour.

Perhaps that would hide the food bowl from her and offer the cats protection from the rain.
