Why can this act be considered cruelty, Edward? Was the cat actually lost? Taping the animal inside a box with no water, no food, no air and no way of escape and putting the box in a parking lot is not a guarantee of safe return or of being found. Lots of people assume its a piece of trash and ignore it. What was the purpose of this unknown person's action in the first place?
