I too can never believe how heartless certain people can be when it comes to pets ... completely indifferent as to their life or death ... or the fact that pet animals are not toys.
Many years ago, I was told of a 'friend of a friend' who had decided she wanted to practice witchcraft - so did she study? mingle with others of a like mind? Anything even semi-rational?
Nope! She bought some black dresses and adopted a black kitten. When the witchcraft thing didn't work out, she decided to leave town and abandon the cat on the beach to fend for itself. When I heard this plan, I jumped in the car and drove from Raleigh to Myrtle Beach during peak tourist season -- which meant 4 hours of bumper to bumper crawling traffic. Fortunately I was in time to rescue the cat (she was hiding behind the suitcases - that's how close it was) and we drove back the same day. Guinevere shared my life and heart for 20 years - and shared the house with Buster cat. They were my first 'cat family' members.
