Just had to go out and move George who was sitting in the middle of the path in the woods outside the front gate for a lady who has 2 greyhounds, both these dogs are muzzled as one is an ex racing dog and the other goes ballistic when she sees a cat and she was telling me that years ago when she went to fetch the mail from some kennels in Nottingham (failed racer ) the chap who owned the kennels had a small kitten in his hands, she asked what he was doing with a kitten in kennels, his reply "" i always chuck a kitten in with the pups it keeps them amused "" she said she was very upset by this and if it hadnt been for the fact that she had fallen in love with the dog she would have left, she siad she was going to report him but nothing ever came of it because he just said he would deny it, she said this haunted her for months afterwards even tho shes not a cat person ,she would never hurt one or condone anyone else doing so, evidently this chap is now dead but it makes you wonder who else practises this
