Much worse inhumane treatment getting even far worse ...

Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

Much worse inhumane treatment getting even far worse ...

Post by FrankGSterleJr »

The tens of thousands of stray, homeless and feral cats roaming Surrey (B.C., Canada) parks and streets really have it quite miserable. Incredibly and extremely sadly, many were/are abandoned by their owners, left to fend for themselves against the wilds; and even with the plethora of deforestation due to relatively massive development, Surrey is still filled with much forested hide-outs for very hungry coyotes salivating for such easy prey as aimlessly wandering docile-natured domesticated cat and kittens.
In my sincere opinion, humanity’s overall apathetic, if not callous, inhumane streak is to blame for this totally avoidable suffering of fellow sentient mammals. It seems that many people in our ‘civilized’ society allow themselves to dismiss it all, since one way or another by being preyed upon by bigger wild animals and mass euthanasia, that enormous yet gratuitous quantity of feline misery should soon enough diminish.
As for truly sufficient large-scale spay and neutering initiative programs, the last I heard Surrey's ex-mayor and fellow council henchmen refused to add any further funding for such a desperately-needed humane cause, claiming that taxpayers already give enough to the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Absolutely unbelievable! These animals experience great suffering, be it at the biting sharp-toothed jaws of a large predator or left without shelter in the biting cold.
What really burns me, however, is that the same Surrey council, while refusing to allocate any additional funding towards a desperately needed universal source of emergency spaying and neutering of these suffering felines, also refuses to fully outlaw all pet-cat owners from allowing their felines to wander outdoors unattended, nor to strictly enforce the spaying and neutering of all adopted cats and kittens unless specifically licensed to breed their felines through humane means.
It may sound unfeasible and inconvenient to some uncaring feline owners who just want something soft to stroke now and then as though the pet cat/kitten was about as susceptible to pain and suffering as a stuffed toy animal, but such a desperate inhumane situation definitely calls for assertively meaningful compassionate action.

Oh I believe it. Humans don't even care about each other why would they care about animals?
