    Sad story

    A friend brought this short story to my attention, and I thought some of you might be interested, too.

    How Could You?
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)



    Thank you, Popcornbird for creating this tribute to Summer starring Livvy and Cassy

    Warning.
    That story is so sad. I just started crying.
    People should have a license to adopt pets.

    I can't stop crying!! As soon as I read the word "hypodermic" I burst into tears! Such a sad story and SO true. A license should be required for adopting animals AND having children. Some people shouldn't have either!

    It happens all the time, unfortunately.

    I've read this before, but I still read it again knowing full well I'd be down right bawling by the time I got to the end. I just wished that the people who really NEED to read this, WOULD.

    I agree but those who need to, don't have compassion. How else could they abandon the pets in the first place.

    I have read this before too, but each time I read it I cry all over again. I agree with everyone else - too bad the people who need to see this probably never will, or worse yet won't even care, although I simply cannot imagine someone not being tremendously moved by this.

    I havent read it and I dont want to.

    I am still trying to recover from seeing a cat with 3 kittens at my local shelter yesterday - a group of young boys caught her and poked out one eye - they were busy with the second one when a kind sould put themslef in danger to rescue her. Thankfully she has retained the use of her one good eye, and has given birth to three of the sweetest kittens I have ever seen. And, unbeleivably, she still purrs and snuggles humans. How animals show such power of forginvess is beyond me. All i know is that one day those boys will have to acount for their actions...and they will get what they deserve.

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    Ally Cat's mommy- I agree with you, I don't have any clue how an animal could still trust humans after being abused like that.
    I hope that those boys get what they deserve, doing that to a poor innocent animal
