Pick n Pay The Falls are starving their resident feral cats to death

I would like to give a one star rating to the Pick n Pay The Falls, Jhb West Rand. The reason is that the manager, Mr Henry Bord, has decided to withhold food and water from the six feral cats who have lived in the receiving area, and caught rats, for the past few years. These cats were sterilised at the expense of their former carer who is no longer allowed on site. This is animal abuse and is completely unacceptable. Their PR agency, Corporate Image PR, has been sending out misleading replies to emails saying that the cats are now being fed in the surrounding veld. This is untrue. The cats live on site; the veld is located across a busy road, dangerous, and not accessible to them. Most shopping centres allow ferals and understand the important role they play, so why does Mr Henry Bord of Pick n Pay The Falls, choose to starve these cats, who are soon going to die?

PnP please, this is both serious and urgent. There are many of your branches that are kind to ferals and understand their importance. These ferals have lived at the Falls branch for about six years, and now one manager is withholding food and water and trying to make them leave the premises by feeding them in the veld (where they can't go!) - please can your higher management intervene and explain to Mr Bord that what he is doing is inhumane and that working with the cats on site, ensuring that they are fed and looked after in a safe, hygienic way, is the best solution? this is causing a massive storm of adverse PR for your company on social media right now!
