Animal abuse
Yesterday we went to the clinic for our cat’s surgery. We saw this poor cat in the cage & she has been deserted by her owner. This cat has fits every now & then; she is in a pretty bad shape. It won’t be incorrect to say that: she looks something like a cat. Her eyes only show pain & she’s extremely thin. She has lost a lot of hair. According to the vet, her condition won’t improve & sooner or later, she ought to be put down. The vet has not yet euthanized the cat, cause she’s eating on her own now, which she wasn’t when she was left at the clinic for good.
Many a time, people get attracted by cute kittens & puppies, & keep them for a while. Since there is no sense of responsibility, these pets are being abandoned later on. Cats & dogs are being killed on the road every day. It doesn’t seem to prick anybody’s conscience. And if you talk about it, you’re mad.
Anyway, it reminds me of another terrible story of a Persian cat & her breed conscious owners. Both these guys adopted her so that they can sell her kittens. She used to have kids almost every 5 months. They did earn a lot while she could produce. A time came when she started staying ill most of the time. The cat was also having problems in her delivery. During her last pregnancy, the vet forewarned these guys that it is serious & they should think about aborting the kids or the cat might die. Obviously they didn’t show any interest whatsoever. She had a surgery & all her kittens were dead. The vet asked the guys if he should remove the uterus, which was deteriorated beyond repair, as it might kill the cat in the long run & now she cannot have babies. The guys said that it would be no use to remove the uterus as the cat is useless for them, cause she can’t produce babies anymore. After 2 days, the cat died.
I think it’s a gruesome case of abuse, beyond any reasonable doubt. Although she was a pet, but she was being used like anything. Or should I say she was some sort of business? As long as these guys could earn the profit, everything was fine. Isn’t it strange you are earning & yet you don’t care for the life that’s providing the money?
Those who care about animals would care about them no matter what. And those who abuse animals & take them for granted won’t change either. Anyhow, the act of hurting animals speaks volumes about the ugly nature of humans.
