People really are disgusting. I wonder why so many people fail to realize that animals have feelings too. To me, they are a living thing, same as me. They may not be as smart, may not have opposable thumbs, and may not value money as a means to get what they want, but they have their own little souls, personalities, thoughts, and lives. How can other people not see this? Have they never seen an animal play or how it begs for its food? Do they not realize that humans are completely responsible for all of their needs and that they will grow to love and respect us for it if we give them our attention and a caring heart? I have always wondered. I guess some people see animals as some sort of novelty for their entertainment that is easily disposable. Just like an old TV set, only it seems the TV set always stays around a lot longer than the animal. That should say something about these sort of people. We live in such a disposable society, it's despicable.
I just read the other day in some information the ASPCA sent me about donations about someone who buried puppies alive and someone who grilled a kitten on a bbq and someone who baked a cat like a Thanksgiving turkey because of a jealous lover. Can you believe it? I couldn't stop thinking about it and going over and over in my head how much those animals suffered, how awful it was. My husband had to actually take the information away from me, I couldn't stop asking who could go to that extreme. It absolutely boggles me. It made me cry. I still tear up thinking about those poor souls. And these are just examples about of millions.
I don't know about you, but I feel really uncomfortable with people like this in this world. The literature also said that animal abuse is directly related to child abuse and as a mother, that frightens me. These are people that prey directly on children and animals that are smaller than them and helpless to defend themselves. They get some sort of satisfaction from it. To me, that is the sickest of all humans and they should be put away. Absolutely disgusting.
Here's another article on read on the connection of animal and child abuse:
