Like everyone else posting on this thread, I'm sitting here surrounded by cats that have led hard lives due to people just like this woman, and I find myself choked with tears of rage because I know she will not understand her cruelty.

Experiencing life and death is easy for anyone to see. She can take the children to a kill shelter. Or she can take them to the back of a mall in the early hours of the morning to see the cats trying to survive on their own, and those who are obviously sick and dying. Or she can take them to a children's hospice, or any hospice. Living and dying is all around us and doesn't need a home experiment to be seen and experienced.
