It just doesn't make sense to me. How can somebody love an animal, and then get rid of it, without any remorse or anything. And because of a cold? I think Phillip looks at cats as objects, and certainly not beings with needs, wants and feelings. Look at his first post about Conan and it's quite obvious what a ****head this guy is: ""Ok ... I found a cat. Not the Bengal kitten or like tempered orange tabby kitten I was after but ... that's what happens when you go shopping the Bargain Bin." Lauren |

"Candace" wrote There's so much sadness in the world that, really, anytime one contributes to it, it really harms everyone. I know that sounds hokey and it's the middle of the night but it's true. All the animals that have crappy, unloved lives...we owe it to them and everyone to not compound that pain but to make life better for as many beings as possible. Not hokey. Just true, for anyone with a living heart. Many people become hard-hearted over the years. I guess some are born that way. I have struggled not to. |

There is so much happiness and joy in this world when you choose to see it. ...and ignore the suffering and unhappiness of others. Life must be grand for you- not being inconvenienced or burdened with a conscience or compassion. I bask in the happy things--my own deep satisfaction and happiness with the life I have built, among other things. Part of what makes me happy is trying to alleviate suffering for other creatures when I can. |

If someone can get rid of an animal without remorse, then they never loved it (no matter what kind of posing they did). And because of a cold? Pudge used to get colds two or three times a year. They always ran their course in a few days. I'm not sure what the big deal is. Is it better to speculate and condem or to find out what "the big deal" was? Obviously one is easier than the other. |

It should make you wonder about what you DON'T know. Has it occured to you that a short ownership time makes objective choices less difficult? That didn't occur to me, for one. It still doesn't occur to me. Rhonda |

That's very sad, Meghan. Did he die from complications of his surgery or what happened? How terribly awful but I'm glad he had you for his last days. He seemed to be improving until the last few days and then was vomiting and had diarrhea. He went back to the vet several times, and started to improve with that too. And then he suddenly got worse late at night. We did not do a necropsy, but we suspect that we either missed an internal injury or he was sick previously. He was tested for the standard diseases before we did the surgery. But he did have worms and was severely underweight. So, there could have been something else. It is also quite possible that the stress and oof changes were nough to make him sick, and he just didn't have enough left to fight it. He was longer than Maynard (who weighed 9 1/2lbs, yet he weighed only 6lbs. You could feel more detail in his skull than I knew existed before then. He really was a walking skeleton with fur. -- Meghan & the Zoo Crew Equine and Pet Photography http://www.zoocrewphoto.com |

I guess he just isn't the bonding type. -- Meghan & the Zoo Crew Equine and Pet Photography http://www.zoocrewphoto.com |
