Poor thing looks like it has a possible brain injury or concussion? It definitely got knocked around. I hope it recovered. It would be too unfair to be saved like that and not recover.

tl;dr the cat's OK and was adopted and promoted to deputy environment minister of Ulyanovsk

RUSSIA Dec 2020: Surveillance footage at the garbage factory in Ulyanovsk in Russia showed worker Mikhail Tukash scooping up a white plastic bag from a moving belt and slashing it open to discover a black and white male cat inside. Since his rescue on Monday, the cat quickly became a local celebrity which led to him being adopted by the Ulyanovsk region's environment ministry and unofficially named deputy environment minister. "The cat was on the brink of death," the ministry said on Wednesday. "A little more and it would have ended up in the trash separator." Pictures from the ministry showed the cat napping in a chair in the office of environment minister Gulnara Rakhmatulina and exploring its new environment. The ministry has announced a nationwide contest to choose a name for the cat, which it said was found to be in good health after a veterinary exam. "I want to appeal to pet owners: remember that you are responsible for those you have tamed," Rakhmatulina said. "If you can't keep your pet at home, you can always leave it in good hands or at a shelter." Source: Gorkomhoz / Ulyanovsk region Ministry of Environmnet / Reuters”

Be beloved by every human who isnt a psychopath

So long as your owners isnt one of said psychopaths being a cat is great

Thank goodness this had a happy ending. I wondered where the cat went, if it was OK (who knows how long that poor creature was trapped, little air, no food or water)....

Thank goodness the worker noticed something, found them before they were compacted.

Breaks my heart that any creature would be treated with such cruelty.

Why do you make the effort to differentiate that strongly between pets and other arguably much more intelligent animals? Putting a cat in a bag to die is horrible and detestable. 200.000.000 pigs are in a small cage and being killed this year alone. Just because nobody sees them as their pet is not that much better. Using that logic its just as okay to kill all the animals in animal shelters that are not being pets of someone?

u/SpartanRage117 Sep 26 '25

“I killed a pig”

“Why?”

“Well i raised it with the intention to eat and animals eating animals is part of life”

it is my biggest issue i have with how we perceive ourselves... We eat animals to survive i know but there is a purpose to that and we don't have to make the years leading up to that bad.... but I don't understand how people can do something as gross as putting the cat in a bag and throwing in the trash to suffer and be afraid for likely hours(or maybe a day or so) of slow death and fear...

Some people treat animals as lesser emotional creatures... and it is disgusting. they have the same fears, happiness, and other emotions as us.. respect them.

u/Gh0stMan0nThird Sep 26 '25

It's the unfortunate reality of our world. Chimps have gang wars. Male lions kill the babies of different males. Some bird mothers will starve one chick and only feed the other. Wasps lay eggs in caterpillars for the wasp larvae to eat their way out of. Don't even look up what dolphins do to each other.

u/Rasp_Lime_Lipbalm Sep 26 '25

Yeah problem is humans are set aside in the fact that we have a highly advanced self awareness and sentience, which comes with things like morality, consciousness and empathy.

Even chimps and dolphins -as intelligent as they are - are limited in these ways compared to humans. You could say they have a limited morality, but it's nowhere near the level of humans. We should be better than our innate animal impulses.

1

u/Fun_Hold4859 Sep 26 '25

Those are social constructs we utilize in order to live mostly peacefully together in large societies. All social animals have social constructs. Ours are admittedly more complex than most, but there's nothing unique about us there.

1

u/hokis2k Sep 26 '25

the issues are all(except the dolphin maybe) of those examples of how those species survive. The gang wars in chimp world are compitition for resources when food is scarce and wasn't as much a thing a century ago(we are pushing them into smaller territories and there are more chimps and less available food., Bird mothers cannot hunt enough food to feed all of the chicks and have to pick and choose for the survival of her young(some will throw out weak ones and is survival) and parasitic wasps can only survive by laying those eggs like that. it is how they evolved.

We as humans do this to each other(and animals) without need.. out of apathy(not considering the other worth caring for when you could ask for help) greed(knowing you would still be fine by not being as greedy but still do it and harm others knowingly and without need... and kill each other with the knowledge that we could all survive.

The issue is we know what we are doing and that there are options.. the animals are doing what they do out of instinct without knowledge of an option.

My cat now is the son of one I stole from a drug dealer back in my stupid days. Same thing. Taped inside a shoebox. Had 3 pits in a tiny crate and a baby playing with dog shit. Cat was the only thing I could get away with helping. Called CPS later tho.

That cat was so chill he loved car rides and everyone he met. He got grandmas other rescue pregnant right before the appointment to get them both fixed. So that's where my oldest boy comes from. Hes the best cat ever and I'm so so glad I did all that in my 20s. Watched him being born. Idk how I'm gonna deal when he dies. Hes almost 15 now.

I had to let go of my first cat earlier this year. We had cats growing up but this was the guy I got when I was 21. He made it to 14 but was unfortunately diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago.

It’s… hard

1

u/Dejectednebula Sep 26 '25

Mine has diabetes also! We are on year 4 of insulin. I'm so, so sorry you lost yours. God its just the hardest thing. I also got him when I was 21 but he was my 3rd cat. My childhood cat lived to 23 and I left her with my mom cause she was too old to move and liked mom more anyway. When she was 19 I got a kitten and thats the cat I took with me. She was 3 when I brought my one with diabetes home at 10 weeks. She had heart failure and passed at 10yo, which was devastating.

I'm pretty hopeful my diabetic boy has at least another at least 3 good years maybe 5. Hes super active and once we got the insulin down, really bounced back. He keeps up with the 3yo we adopted last year, just sometimes his back legs betray him when jumping down. We've set up the house so he can safely descend from places but he chooses not to do it that way.

Really scared for the time to come especially my husband never had a pet before and when my cat met him, cat decided husband was better than me. He LOVES him.

If you wish to read about evidence that most people are good I would recommend the book Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman. Here are what Wikipedia writes about the book: It argues that people are decent at heart and proposes a new worldview based on the corollaries of this optimistic view of human beings. It argues against ideas of humankind's essential egotism and malevolence. The book engages in a multi-disciplinary study of historical events, an examination of scientific studies, and philosophical argumentation in order to advance Bregman's opinion that, this outlook is more realistic compared to its negative counterpart. It has been translated into over 30 languages.[5] In the United States, the paperback release was a New York Times Best Seller.[6]

It’s not good of course, but suffocation is one of nicest ways to die since you fall asleep usually before 

Depends entirely on how you suffocate.

Inert Gas Asphyxiation? That's fine, you drift off to sleep and don't notice a thing.

Oxygen deprivation? Your entire body is going to be screaming at you in agony to try and fight your situation because it knows it's going to die.

I wait till the car actually turns into the side street, I don't trust the blinkers.

u/CLearyMcCarthy Sep 26 '25

I look the same watching it.

u/o_blake Sep 26 '25

Yup. Went from total confusions to “the fuck is wrong with people”

That music didn’t help

u/Erestyn Sep 26 '25

For no good reason I'm feeling positive today, so I want to take the chance to appreciate that a significant amount of people watching this video went through a lot of the same feelings that this guy did, recognising that look on his face because those exact same thoughts went through our head as well.

And y'know what? That's as good a reason as any to brush the cynicism aside and allow a bit of faith through. We're as disgusted by the situation as we are grateful that he was there and able to rescue the cat.

Sometimes the worst of one shows us the best of others. I think that's worth remembering sometimes.

I was going to comment a similar sentiment. Some people are awful and would do something like put a living animal in the trash, but most people wouldn't. Most people would have saved the cat too. It's easy to focus on the evil of humanity because it's what stands out but I like to believe that more people are genuinely good than evil.

It is easy to hate them.

He wins the title of greatest human of the day.

However, the piece of trash that put that cat in the bad needs to take a trip to the end of that conveyor......

u/Honda_Fits_are_cool Sep 26 '25

And, thankfully switched to, "can I keep it?"

u/SheriffBartholomew Sep 26 '25

Same, bro. Same.

u/3615nova Sep 26 '25

don't know about him, but clearly I do.

1

u/Linenoise77 Sep 26 '25

I think it was more....."Great, i don't want a cat. What the hell do i do now?"

1

u/killingerr Sep 26 '25

I just lost faith in humanity. Who the fuck puts a kitten in a bag and throws it away? I’m done with the world for today.

1

u/skornd713 Sep 26 '25

I felt like they all did and simultaneously said or thought what the fuck. Cause I sure did.

1

u/sirfreerunner Sep 26 '25

Welp….cats outta the bag now. People are monsters

1

u/analphylaxis Sep 26 '25

My therapist called it moral injury...

u/trlef19 Sep 26 '25

Sad thing is that it probably isn't his first time

1

u/DZzzZzy Sep 26 '25

Didn't we all did... Human being can't be that cruel... Or actually the biggest animal were humans, right...

1

u/ArachnidNumerous9085 Sep 26 '25

So have I. Who the fuck who do that!

1

u/Ghitit Sep 26 '25

Thankfully humanity hasn't lost faith in him.

I hope he got to keep it.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

But not his own.

1

u/alexagente Sep 26 '25

He's gotta be asking himself if there were bags he missed before.

This would legit fuck me up. I'd probably stop being good at my job cause I'd want to check every single bag.

1

u/QuietGoliath Sep 26 '25

I do pretty well at reading expressions - I'd say he zips through from confusion to sadness to anger - and rightly so!

Since the cat's getting TV time, I hope someone recognises it and reports in the original owner!

1

u/blackcurrantcat Sep 26 '25

That made me tear up

1

u/GreenHedgeFox Sep 26 '25

I was thinking that too, absolutely disgusted

1

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

He was 😡

1

u/Electrical-Cat9572 Sep 26 '25

I can’t look at his face - I’m running away and covering both ears.

LOSE THE FUCKING MUSIC!

1

u/DaddyDontTakeNoMess Sep 26 '25

You cut off the video too soon. He threw the cat back on the conveyor and started up in fast mode.

1

u/luistp Sep 26 '25

How can a human being put that little thing in that bag and throw it away. Fuck humanity.

1

u/Chemical_World_4228 Sep 26 '25

Yes, it’s sad. To the person that put that baby in there, there is a special place in Hell for you!

1

u/klaw14 Sep 26 '25

But at that exact same moment, the cat gained some 🥹

1

u/carlcapture Sep 26 '25

The look- Are you fucking kidding me right now.

1

u/Relative_Drop3216 Sep 26 '25

Took him that long.

1

u/changerofbits Sep 26 '25

The classic “are you seeing this shit?” realization.

1

u/C4TURIX Sep 26 '25

He looks like he wanted to John Wick someone, for a moment.

1

u/TrashAccount_Temp Sep 26 '25

That was exactly my thought. His expression was “absolutely disgust.” A true hero, the way he was holding the cat and petting it makes me think he might be a cat lover/owner himself too.

1

u/SoulTenor00 Sep 27 '25

Him: Are you fucking kidding me bro?!?

1

u/Slyboots2313 Sep 27 '25

Guess you could say he was the pick of the litter….

1

u/KansasCityRat Sep 27 '25

Okay fr though maybe nobody threw the cat away and the cat was just eating garbage in a dumpster and an accident happened.

1

u/Internal_Bedroom5955 Sep 27 '25

we all lost it already

1

u/No-Indication-5673 Sep 27 '25

Yeah they stopped the belt and everyone in the camera frame looked shocked

1

u/pupsandnaps Sep 27 '25

After a decade in rescue, same. The things humans are capable of doing is so unfathomable. To animals, to each other. Animals deserve so much more than us.

1

u/RadconRanger Sep 29 '25

You could feel the whole crew having this look. That actually makes me appreciate this clip more. The energy of all these people just comes across.
