Cat passing away on Swanson Rd 2/10/20
I'm writing this with a heavy heart in regards to a cat that has been put to sleep, on Swanson road, in the area between Knox Road and Church street. It happened late this afternoon (around 5:45pm)
I was driving towards Henderson on this road when I saw a long haired, black cat in a crucial state. It had been hit moments before by a passing vehicle, I can't pass blame as I didn't see the accident happen, I only saw the cat afterwards. I pulled over as soon as possible and 3 other people came to help. We made sure to do our best to help the cat remain calm and we put him to sleep in what was the most humane way we could with what we had. I must reiterate, without going into detail, this beautiful and cared for animal was in crucial condition and it was all that could be done.
If you know whose cat this is, please pass on this message. If it's your cat, please send me a personal message. Reach out to those in the area whose cat it may be.
I am very sorry for your loss and will not soon come to grips with what happened this afternoon. This was somebody's beloved animal and I would just like to let whoever the owner is know, this wasn't done heartlessly, we tried to do everything we could.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
