There’s a saying that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It’s hard to comprehend how sometimes even the cutest of pets can be considered trash, but unfortunately, it is a reality. There are hundreds of furry fluffers being thrown out into the garbage across the globe, and many people find this unacceptable and outrageous. And it shouldn’t be accepted. The person who did this is the trash that needs to be disposed of.
Two NYC Department of Sanitation workers, William Montero and John Kase, initially thought that Monday was going to be just another day’s work as they started their daily routine in Queens. While they were tossing garbage bags into the back of the truck, they heard a meow. Montero hoped it was just a toy, but it wasn’t. There was a kitten crying for help.
If it wasn’t for a pair of quick-thinking sanitation workers who heard the trashed tabby’s desperate cries at the last minute, the cute kitten would have certainly been demolished.
