Just wondered if anyone had either lost them or had them stolen or dumped them...around the Clackmannanshire area but of course they could have come from somewhere else?

Stolen maybe - they're only just off heat at that age.

School teachers wouldn't just dump them, would they? - if found out they could lose their jobs for cruelty to animals.

I suppose it could be someones partner throwing them out after a row.....or then again maybe not but who ever did it is a bit thick, I suppose they thought they may get a chance in the wild rather than kill them :'(

Not much chance if they're shut in a box. ::)
