Congratulations to beautiful Memo's kind purrents! Thank you so much for your intervention in the rescue of these poor creatures if only there were more people like you on this planet. We here in Australia have quite strict laws governing how we treat our animals, however there are always those who will treat them badly no matter how strict our laws are. And until your authorities implement some laws governing the treatment and rescue of animals this cruelty will continue. Perhaps you could talk to your local councillor about starting an ASPCA in your local city with kind volunteers like yourself who are interested in rescuring and caring for our dear voiceless friends, they just might be interested, especially if they have animals themselves!
