Re: Animal Cruelty
Such cruelty is beyond understanding and makes me so angry and sick whenever I hear of it. Children often mirror what they see in the home. It is a safe bet that their parents probably have the same abusive attitudes towards animals and possibly their children. As children we were taught better, as our parents were always gentle and kind towards animals. We adopted so many stray cats here that we lost count.
One kitten in particular had been choked and painted with green paint by the children in a household in Dover. Being aware of the situation, a neighbor who was a bread truck driver picked it up early one morning when he left to make his deliveries out of town. He knew a kind restaurant worker in Laconia and was sure she would see that it got a good home. He related the story to her and she immediately agreed to take part in the rescue. It ended up at our house, as it was pretty easy to convince our parents that we “needed” to take in this kitten after all it had gone through. Even after all the cruelty it had endured at the hands of those kids, it still was able to trust us and became a beloved pet in our household. We named it Dusty – a sweet little guy with a great personality and gentle nature.
May that poor kitten in Conway make a good recovery and find a loving home. It certainly deserves a break.
