A woman has been arrested on suspicion of cruelty to animals after allegedly punishing a kitten by wrapping it in cling film. Police acted after a photograph of the six-week-old female Scottish Fold cat bound in transparent plastic went viral on social media on Tuesday. Inspector So Wing-shun said the kitten, which had been bought online, had no apparent injuries and would be taken care of by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The woman posted the picture of the cat on Tuesday morning, prompting the administrator to alert the media and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. – South China Morning Post
