Animal Abuse

I was going through my personal FB today which I hadn't been updating for quite a while now (I had been super duper lazy these past few weeks) when I realized a Wall post by a friend about animal abuse - specifically a cat. I looked at the photo and oh my, I felt an overwhelming feeling of dread. How cruel can people be?

According to the report, the cat above, named "Amazing Grace" for still being alive even though she is injured with a flat head nail driven into her skull with what is highly likely to be done with a nail gun, is looking healthy and in good spirits. However, the nail will be removed soon through a "risky procedure" and hopefully she will be healthy and back to her old happy self. 

Still, I wonder, how can someone have the stomach to hold the cat, place the nail gun in the middle of her head like that and shoot it. Oh my, the cruelty.

This reminds me of a story B-bunz told me about some kids living opposite his parents' housing area who would torture cats. They would impale the cats with iron bars and leave the cats to die slowly. They love dogs, but not cats. At first, I never seen anything like that and thought maybe B-bunz was just talking about an incident or two but whenever I accompany my brother to a computer shop at that area, I would come across deformed carcasses with iron bars stuck to them. It's so sad and so cruel. If only someone caught them in the act, maybe we can put these type of people behind bars - kids or not.

Animals are also living things. If we can't respect another life, be it plants, animals or humans, there's no wonder cases of child abuse and dumping babies seemed like a norm in the world today. Where is the love people?
