It's O K If You're Not A Footballer Then ?

[Canary42]

4 policemen to "arrest" a cat and remove him from caring home to God knows what traumatic experience.

But they're not rich footballers so get they away with it without a media storm.

I don’t know why you are comparing a domestic cat to Finlay, a Scottish wildcat that is the world’s rarest cat breed. I don’t know why the police have taken Finlay but I believe it is illegal to keep them as pets.
I know the organisation was rehabilitating him and intended to release him

[dannyk13]

A year seems a long time to keep an animal intended to be released back into the wild.

[calmck]

I think they were waiting for warmer weather before releasing him

4 policemen...that's about 4 more policemen than you get attending a reported a burglary.

The story apparently revolves around this

Not sure what country this is concerning.
Vattenfall is a Swedish energy company, don’t think they operate in the UK.

^ I stand corrected. Thanks Roy.

The wind farm in question is in Aberdeenshire.

I'm afraid plod have lost the plot, no doubt enboldened by the powers they gotwith the excuse of Covid.

Far too heavy handed.

[lankeela]

Vattenfall is currently planning an offshore windfarm off the coast of Norfolk.

[barry1010]

Not sure if enough background information, and all one sided. Had there been previous attempts to remove the animal?

I don't see how this story is comparable to a footballer kicking a cat around the room. Then again when did canary ever make sense?
