Background

A disturbing photo has been released on social media showing  a cat trapped in a cage and chained to the doors of Vinny’s Takeaway in Georgetown Newcastle. It has sparked a wide range of reactions from users on several social media sites. While the cat was rescued and is reportedly unharmed, the event has ignited heated discussions across social media on animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, and wildlife protection.

Some residents expressed anger and concern over the treatment of the cat, calling for humane handling and proper care. Others emphasised the need to keep cats indoors to protect local wildlife, pointing out the environmental impact of free-roaming cats. The debate reflects broader societal concerns and highlights the complexities of balancing animal welfare with ecological conservation.
