Photo: SuppliedA Canterbury high school student is disgusted by his teachers, claiming they told him to put an abandoned kitten back in a drain where it would likely have died. But school teachers say they tried to work with the student to care for the young cat. Fifteen-year-old student Nathan Gunn earlier pulled the shivering, muddy feline out of the drain at Darfield High School after hearing it meowing for help. Darfield principal James Morris and a deputy principal instead simply told Gunn to put the kitten back in the drain, he claimed. They took the kitten to school's teachers to ask what could be done, but were told to put the young cat back in the drain, Gunn claimed.
