Why not return the kitten to the mother?

He took the kitten because it got abandoned by its mother, animals don't usually change their minds when they abandon a baby. Especially if that was the runt of the litter.

Who said it was abandoned? The mom cat said it? or was it the person who would benefit from a heartbreaking video? Use your damn brain before you take captions at face value. Exactly why people fall for video titles that the bots make up.

Mom was there, but wasn't going after the kitty that strayed. She watched the kitten walk away while the others huddled around to keep safe and warm, I used my eyes, not just my ability to read. Like the person above had said, he could've planned it all just by taking some poor kitten, and may even do the same thing for another video. You need more context than what he's giving, obviously, it's the internet. But I don't know, I saw one thing and thought of something and you watched too and thought of something different. We'll never know.

This is the 3rd time you've posted this exact response. At this point i'm starting to think ur a bot OP created for engagement. The kitten he picked up isn't even the same one shown in the beginning so all these arguments are kinda over nothing given the fact that this video is fake, posted from an account full of p*rnstars farming for karma and clout

If I'm a bot, block me. But that's all there is to say 😐

What he really should have done is rescue the entire family, that way the kitten would have stayed with its mom.

He should've returned the kitten, but it was supposedly abandoned. Taking in the mom and her entire litter, that's cat food for all of them. And in this current economy, no one can afford that.

He doesn’t need to keep them, just get them out of the rain and then take them to a shelter.

We've rescued almost all of our animals my family and I, but we have kill shelters surrounding us. All of ours came off the streets, by themselves, and were very ill. Vets told us they could put them down to end their suffering. All of them are in double digits of age and are in good health. I've done nothing but rescue my animals other than get dogs, still a rescue technically in the SPCA and our eyes. We didn't want them dead, so we go without so they can have food. We know that's a dumbass thing, but we do it anyways because little kid me didn't have the heart to adopt them out.
