Say A Little Prayer, Abused animals Options

[Phinny1]

If you upset easily then you may not want to read this:

A few days ago a neighbor of mine who owns a self use car wash was cleaning up the place. She was dumping out the trash cans when she noticed a trash bag moving. She opened up the bag and there was an emaciated cat in it, shockingly still alive. She raced it to the local county shelter (non-kill) to try and save it. We don't know if it has survived.
After hearing this I was so upset. I just don't understand this kind of cruelty (or any for that matter). So I ask when you play with your companion or lay together, or spend time, say just a little prayer for those who aren't as lucky. For those who are abused and tortured every day. For those who will know never know the love of a family or feel the safety of a home.

Bless you all,

Chris

I don't think I will ever understand how people can do this to animals. My best friends husband was driving one day, and the truck in front of him rolled down the window and threw out a tiny little kitten (didn't even appear to be old enough to be away from her mother). He stopped, picked up the kitten, and she is now a spoiled sweet little girl named Angel. She sheds a ton, talks a lot, thinks she owns the place, and is just the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Angel has a lot of health problems, collitus (spelling?) being one major issue, but with a little extra $ being spent on some powder for her food she is much better and generally a great cat.

We don't throw out our family because they are ill, we don't throw away a child when it's born with a disease or disability... I don't get what makes people think it is ok to throw away an animal. When you take an animal in you are not only responsible for them, but for any offspring that you ALLOW to be born into this world (and I say you allow it because there is a wonderful thing called spaying and neuturing, if you don't get it done and your animal gets pregnant, it is YOUR fault, case closed). It makes me so sick to my stomach to hear of stories such as this... I would do anything for just one more day with Freeway... And yet thousands of people throw animals away like last weeks garbage. I can only hope that karma will one day soon come to bite them in the butt and they'll get what they rightfully deserve.
