The kitten, now named “Dumpster,” is one of more than 70 animals Bingham's new ACO has helped relocate in just two weeks.

To the individual or individuals who thought it was acceptable to tie a cat inside a plastic bag and throw it into a dumpster at the Bingham Transfer Station:

Human decency and basic compassion should have guided you to a completely different choice.

We are incredibly fortunate that our vigilant transfer station staff heard something and found the cat before any tragedy or injury occurred. Our Animal Control Officer (ACO) is currently caring for the cat, and we are happy to report that it seems to be doing well despite the horrific ordeal.

There is absolutely no excuse for animal cruelty. We understand that sometimes people have have hard choices and may be struggling financially. If you find yourself unable or unwilling to care for an animal, there are safe, legal, and humane resources available right here in our community. You can reach out to:

🐾 Your local animal shelter
🐾 The local Animal Control Officer
🐾 Your local Town Office

You can even call the Somerset Dispatch non-emergency number at 207-474-6465, and they will gladly connect you with someone who can help.

Please do the right thing next time. Our community is better than this, and we will continue to look out for those who cannot speak for themselves.
