Tree surgeon fails to save cat!

[Tom10]

Glad I started this thread, some excellent replies

 

Of course we don't know the circumstances but the facts of the matter seem that fire brigade failed, tree surgeon failed, pre-pubescent boy succeeded...

 

And from the way the article is written it doesn't even seem he had disco legs... ''It's not even the biggest tree I have climbed''

 

Good on him, but have to wonder how safe it was if the arborist declined on unsafe grounds, or whether he was one of them arborists with a pair of trainers, a pole pruner and lots of ladders...

 

Be good to hear from the horses mouth if anyone on here knows more details... if the tree was genuinely unsafe it would be a shame that this kid is being hailed as a hero if he has narrowly escaped injury climbing a very dead leaning tree or something, that any arborist would decline...

 

Lets hope this kid just had a bigger set than everyone else looking at the 'job'

Cat stuck in tree=12 bore=cat removed from tree.

 

Can't stand the vermin and they should all die.

 

He'd the cat protection society at my door the other day, they got a mouthfull of whatnot. The only protection they need is from me......

Any one seen an cat skeletons in trees.....enough said.

Or, standard fire service delivery hose, 10 bar water pressure, 60% of time, it works every time!

 

Haaa haaa ...... Brilliant

Haha brilliant!!!

 

Give that boy a £150 a day.....

 

Thats alot more than you said you'd pay a climber

If anyone dares whine about firemen refusing to rescue a cat then they need a slap!

 

Anyone phoning the fire brigade asking to help rescue a cat also needs a slap, and deserves a fine for wasting time!

 

Besides we were all indestructible at 15 so no credit to the kid.

 

I've been to rescue 2 cats and both of them jumped out of the tree before I managed to get close to them.

 

The 'tree surgeon' should stick to whatever job he was doing at the time when he was asked him if he could rescue a cat.
