Earlier today I had to google my name (longer story) Anyhow there has been some new google additions. One was unfamiliar to me so I clicked on the link.
Turns out it some redneck/dumba$$ hunting website that someone had posted about Sheba's shooting back in 2004. Why it never came up before on google I don't know. I was reading some of the postings and someone had made a comment about outside cats as vermin in the non liberal parts of WI and that a wounded cat makes a good bait for coyotes.
I was and still am P.O.'d.
And apalled and lots of other emotions. The nerve of this person to do this!!!
Everyone is entitled to their own opionion but this was cruel and mean.

That is disgusting that someone would write that...you should find out who runs the site so that you can complain and I'm sure that there are many of us who would like to write them a letter as well!

What can I say? Nobody here doesn't share your anger with those kind of people Gail.
I wish it wasn't so easy for them to have a voice on the internet.

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Idiots! Thats so nasty. I don't know the story about Sheba but I think I can gather...
Some people are missing something called compassion so don't worry. What goes around comes around, even for saying something like that.

Neil said not to think about it so much-it doesn't deserve any attention.
I settled down after a couple of glasses of wine and looking at old photo albums.

The saying goes, what goes around comes around.
So that person will have something crappy coming long for doing that!

Gail, I am so sorry you had to read that. I know it makes you relive Sheba's horrible fate all over again. I hope your healing restarts soon

That's appalling. I can imagine how upset you are.
Take comfort in knowing how many wonderful, caring people there are here on TCS who all empathize with you and who do have compassion.

Some people are just ignorant, and say crude things for the reaction. Every cat is a beautiful living creature, and whether they live inside, or outside; whether they are beloved or an unknown feral, they deserve to live their lives unharmed by the violence of humans.

I'm sorry you read that awful post. Please wipe it from your mind with your good memories of Sheba!

the land of nowhere. deal with it.
Oh, that's horrable! how could anyone say something like that! something simaler happened to me over PM on a board with a now ex-friend (for many reasons). I told him about my aun't cat dieing and the idiot said that she should have given it to *I've forgoten the place* because they eat them...I chewed them out.

Still, you should jut ignore those comments. like fwan said, what go's around, come's around!
