I have no idea what you're talking about specifically, but I have had the same emotional connection to certain animals that I had never met. Animals that i felt so bad for, and that I tried helping with but the owners were unwilling. I tried so hard to adopt this dove that a lady was going to have PTS because she didn't want to rehome it into a bad home. One evening (and mind you, I was only 16 years old at the time and she was between 55 and 60 years old) I talked to her for almost 5 hours on the telephone trying to convince her that I was a very responsible person. That I loved my animals and took wonderful care of them. I offered her to come to my moms house and see the condition of my animals, and see how much I loved them and how well taken care of they were. I told her the first thing I will do is get a huge cage for the bird and it will love it. I exhausted myself trying to get on her good side so she wouldn't needlessly euthanize this bird just because she didn't want it going into a bad home. I was a good kid. A very sensitive, responsible kid. In the end, I wasted nearly 5 hours on the phone with this woman, and she ultimately put the bird to sleep because she was too stuborn and stupid to at least try, for the animals' sake. I still think about this bird and that was around 16 years ago.

You had better keep posting here, you're a wonderful person and I completely enjoy every single post you make!
