Who would do this?

I can't understand the mentality of someone who would build up a collection, 'care' for them for some period of time, then just dump them to die. Shocking.

There were so many easy alternatives to doing this.

Might not have been the owner who did it. If the owner died or became homeless or something the guy cleaning out his stuff may not have liked spiders.

This isn't the 1st I've seen this sure a quick Google search will bring it up but I've seen a few stories like this over the years, all a think to myself when I read it is I wish I was the one who found them.

I would like to think it was an act of desperation. There were other places the Ts could have been dumped (like a garbage can) but someone brought them there.

Or just plain cruelty...my mom did this to me/my cats when I was about 13. Jokes on her, after destroying me all it did was make me love cats harder. And humans much, much less.
