I WAS pleased to read (LET, August 12) about Pendle Council's scheme, whereby any cat or dog found dead is left for up to a week so that its owners may choose their own method of disposal.
It's brilliant idea and more councils should adopt this scheme, especially when I think of a recent incident.
Travelling home at midnight, we found a badly-hurt cat in the road.
We stopped and stayed with the cat - until it sadly died, within a few minutes.
I know how I would feel if it was one of my precious cats, and would certainly like to be given the opportunity of collecting them.
