So Sad

[Medusa]

OMG - poor little Peeka. I just get so infuriated when I see the cruel acts that people inflict on poor innocent creatures of all kinds. I just don't understand - and I suppose I never will - what drives people to do these things. And unfortunately the law does not do enough to protect these critters, or prosecute the offenders if they happen to be caught. It's just like when I hear someone say "It's only a cat" or It's only a dog" - I could just slap them! It's a living, breathing creature that is capable of all the feelings that their own kids feel. I don't think you'd ever hear anyone say "It's only a kid".

Yes, I agree w/you, Ellie. When I first rescued Creamsicle, a CH baby, I was working at a church rectory and one of the priests, a woman, said to me "You should just put her down. It's only a cat; you'd be doing her a favor". I really had to bite my tongue and I said "How so?" She said "Why would you keep her alive like that?" and I said "Because God breathed into her the breath of life just as He did for you, that's why!" One of the other priests there rescued animals, too, and he later pulled me aside and said "I'm saying a special mass for your cat today", so the "it's only a cat" comment was cancelled out.

How horrible that a "priest" would say that....that kitten is one of God's creatures and if God did not want her on earth, then God would have taken her instead of letting her remain on earth. I am sorry you are not able to get Polly...I hope somebody great adopted her. I know she would have flurished in your care!!!
