Target: Brad Nichols, Vice Executive Director and Director of Enforcement, Calgary Humane Society, Alberta, Canada
Goal: Identify and prosecute whoever sealed a young cat inside an unventilated cardboard box without food or water, leaving her severely dehydrated and wasted.
A young female cat was discovered sealed inside a taped cardboard box in a commercial storage locker. The box had no ventilation holes, food, or water. By the time workers heard her muffled cries and scratching, the animal had already suffered advanced dehydration, severe muscle wasting, and acute psychological shock.
Veterinary findings indicate that the cat had remained trapped inside the unventilated unit for several days. The storage locker had reportedly been leased using a falsified commercial registration name and a prepaid digital account, making the person who placed the animal there difficult to identify. Investigators are now examining fingerprints, access records, and surveillance footage.
No suspect has been identified. Every available physical and digital lead should be pursued, including fingerprints on the packaging tape, gate-entry records, payment information, CCTV footage, vehicle images, and records connected to the storage account. Find whoever sealed this cat inside the box and abandoned her, and pursue meaningful penalties if the evidence establishes animal cruelty or abandonment.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Director Nichols,
A young cat was found sealed inside a taped cardboard box hidden in a storage unit. She had no ventilation, food, or water and was suffering from advanced dehydration, severe muscle wasting, and acute psychological shock when rescuers reached her.
No suspect has been identified. Please ensure investigators exhaust every available lead, including fingerprints recovered from the tape and box, storage-facility access logs, account information, surveillance footage, vehicle records, and any other evidence capable of identifying the person who placed the cat inside the unit.
Find whoever trapped this defenseless animal inside an airless box and left her without the basic necessities of survival. If the evidence establishes abandonment, cruelty, or related offenses under Alberta law, lay appropriate charges and seek meaningful penalties. This cat survived because someone heard her cries; the person responsible should not remain unidentified.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
