While you are at it: Please make sure lids from cans are completely off and
not just bent back. When I was working I found a little stray who was
trying to lick a can clean and got his head stuck. You have no idea how
hard it is to get a panicked stray/feral's head out of a can. I still don't
know what the cat looked like. Once he was freed he put a cheetah to shame
with his speedy escape.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Subject: Plastic bags
While on this subject, don't forget to cut through the handles of all
plastic & actually ANY bags before trashing them. Stray cats can get their
heads caught in the handles & strangle. So please please cut those
loops!
For the same reason, cut through the loops of the plastic things holding 6
paks together. Those things have been found around the necks of seals,
cutting off their ability to swallow, thus starving them. Closer to inland
home, small aniimals can get their heads caught in those too, or stray
kittens which as they grow these things will tighten around their necks.
