I realized he could not move his back two legs and was trying to walk but basically just dragging his backend. I was horrified, picked him up carefully and drove him to the hospital. He was Xrayed and the vet felt someone had kicked him and broken his pelvis. I questioned whether he could have been hit by a car and he felt he had not, nor had he fallen from say a tree. He said his lack of other injuries and the one big bruise on his side, along with the broken pelvis led him to believe that he had been kicked. The doc told me he had seen it before, it was not all that uncommon. I WAS MORTIFIED. and heartbroken. Who could kick a sweet, gentle, loving animal? I know he probably walked up to this person , purring and rolling on the sidewalk, wanting to be petted, but instead was used as a soccer ball. UGH. Needless to say, he had to be put to sleep because his bladder was ruptured from the broken pelvis and he would never have had control over it again. Heartbreaking and totally uncalled for. I will never forget having to kiss him, rub his little ears, and tell him goodbye, KNOWING they were going to put him down. Poor thing just looked at me with such trust and it broke my heart. Anyway, mean people do suck.

That is so awful. I think only someone who is abused themselves must do these kinds of things. I remember a few years ago here in Rhode Island a young person set a cat on fire.
yes, on fire. It was all over the news here and the cat ended up being OK. I don't know what happened to the girl that did it but she was a minor so most likely nothing was done to her.
