Thanks for the links!! I needed something to read this afternoon! I will have to check some of those out!

Just changed the last article. Please avoid the new one if you don't want to read about animal abuse. It does however contain a plea for adoption of a very special cat.

I just read that last article, and it brought me to tears. That poor, poor cat! I can't imagine the suffering she has indured!! Especially in the 9 days after the incident, before her owner took her to the vet!!!

I wish someone would shove a huge firecracker up their butts!!!!

I really hope someone adopts Peaches.

Great links, Anne. But that last one was just horrid! People are such frieking *ssholes.

It mad me so mad to read that, and to think she didn't bring the cat in for 9 days!!!!!! What the????

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if the owner knew who did it. I would charge him with abuse regardless of whether he knew or not. How can anyone let a living creature go through such terrible pains for nine day and do nothing about it is beyond me.
