Mrs. Yang spotted two kittens and their mother one day and gave them their own box, which she placed in a roadside garden near her home.

She left them in the box at around 7am but when she returned five hours later she discovered the heartbreaking scene with the mama cat pacing back and forth, meowing incessantly near her two dead kittens.

Mrs. Yang explained she was shocked to find that one kitten had had its head cut off, while the other had been stabbed it in the stomach.
