We were able to get him the help he needed and bring him to our sanctuary in waiting for a loving family. Sadly this isn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last case of severe cruelty we receive. A while ago one of our loyal volunteers was brought a box of 10 kittens by two young men. They told her how they had seen a man behead an adult female they could only assume was their Mother. He was keeping the kittens in the back of his car. While one of the two men was busy beating the Son of a B*tch into a bloody pulp the other, who was so severely allergic to Cats that he could hardly breathe, broke his way into the car and stole the kittens and brought them to the helper's safe hands.

I find it increasingly difficult to like people when I'm hearing day in and day out the atrocities they're committing against those they deem weaker than them.

Oh my god.
That is horrific.
At the moment my cat Daisy is sleeping on my feet s happy as larry. To just think of anyone hurting a defenseless animal in any way makes me sick to my stomach.
It seems strange to think that, as humans, some of us are destined to live a life of semi-luxury with food and a roof over our heads and yet some people live with nothing and worry about where there next meal is coming from rather than the money to buy a meal in an expensive restaurant.
And in the same vein some animals are born into a life where they will be loved and fed in a warm home with people who truly care about them. And some animals are destined to live life wherein they suffer cruelty beyond which I can imagine.
I think we should all be incredibly grateful to people, like Bee and her colleagues, who do an incredible job every day in rehabilitating and re-homing abandoned animals.
I, for one, am.
Like bullying, poverty and countless other atrocities there seems to be little we can do to help beings in these situations but if we all do tiny bit it can help a lot.

*preach over*

THANKYOU BEE! xoxo
