Kitten abused at Craven Country Jamboree
For at least one man, the party out at the Craven Country Jamboree ended up going too far on Saturday night when a kitten was abused in the campground.
RCMP said they were called out in the evening for a report of animal cruelty. The kitten was rescued to taken to TM’z Veterinary Clinic in Lumsden. In a Facebook post about the incident, the clinic said someone had drenched the kitten in alcohol and was lighting it on fire. In an update on Sunday morning, the clinic said the kitten was doing alright.
The man accused in the abuse was ejected from the campground, according to the festival, and though RCMP haven’t laid any charges officers said they’re investigating.
“I just think it’s just some idiot that made a bad decision, a really bad decision, and hopefully they’ll pay for it,” said Kim Blevins, director of marketing for the festival.
