I ask that same question time and time again. I can't fathom some people in this world, there are no words at how much it hurts my heart and soul every time I see or hear of a case of a human deliberately harming and torturing a helpless animal. I am a med transcriptionist and do psychiatric reports too, and some of the things people have gone through in their childhoods are just as shocking. I really think the people who do these kinds of things are often people who went through horribly abusive childhoods themselves and they are full of anger and are mentally disturbed. Of course some may just be cruel and mean without any trigger, I guess alcoholism and drugs can mess people up too.

Well I didn't mean to get so wordy, I just read your reply and it has been on my mind a lot lately, cruelty just seems so widespread. I understand completely how it all makes you feel so protective of her, and again, I'm so very very happy that she got such a loving home.
