Salvage Worker Saves Kittens From Crusher
Posted on: Thursday, 5 May 2005, 18:00 CDT
WEST FARGO, N.D. - A salvage yard employee saved five kittens from the crusher or a long road trip when he discovered the felines in a clothes dryer discarded during this city's cleanup week.
"I've found a lot of weird things, but never kittens," said John Sullivan, who has worked the past six years at Hazer's Auto & Truck Salvage.
Sullivan said he was awaiting another dump truck delivery Wednesday when he heard the meows. He followed the cries to a beat-up dryer and made the discovery.
If not for his find, the kittens would have been crushed along with their dryer or trucked for miles.
"These (kittens) could have been in Canada (Thursday) morning," he said.
Sullivan said there is no way to know where the dryer and kittens came from.
"I really don't think anybody stuffed them in there, but you never know," he said.
Sullivan said many people keep cleanup week items in their back yards or garages until collection time rolls around, and it is possible the dryer's owner had no idea the kittens were inside.
