Anyways, my title does not lie. Last week, on my way to school, we noticed a white blob on our driveway. To my surprise, it was a cat! It is what most people would call disgusting. It's mouth was all gouged out, and bloody, and it's body flattened out/ <---Highlight to read, because it's a little graphical? We didn't pay much attention until the day after that when someone moved it to the front of our garage. Has something like this ever happened to you? Or have you just seen dead racoons and squirrels?
PS - It's one of our neighbor's cats. She has about 35 or so, but we don't know for sure since she has so much, and so few visit our backyard. We're also afraid to ask her because she's a little crazy. -- This is also my latest topic in awhile, yay!

That was a tad heartless, in my opinion. If they didn't euthanize the poor thing before discarding the body like that, it's animal cruelty. Most times, veterinary offices hand such cases to wildlfe vets or SOMEBODY that can help the animal recover and survive in a special habitat (assuming it never gained the ability to fly again). As for the cat, that's a sad site to behold. First of all, that woman has too many cats. x-X If anything like the SPCA officers or whatnot found out, she might be under scrutiny for that. Having that many animals in one household isn't healthy for the cats or the person.
For my story, it involves the walks to school I had to take before..
In elementary school, I had to walk along the side of the road (mind you, there is NO sidewalk, just road and a small strip of gravel ground) before I discovered another safer route to avoid getting hit with cars. Each day when I did walk that way, I would see dead forest animals -- raccoons, opossums, and other weird things. Their eyes would be white and being surrounded with flies, while their carcass was wide open and squirming with maggots. The smell of death was overpowering and disgusting sometimes, and since it was a trail in the gravel area of these things, I was forced to flirt with death and walk on the street a four-lane street. I've seen splintered bones, displayed organs, crushed skulls, splattered areas, and other things that would have driven anyone beyond a sickened sensation.
Then there was the time I saw a bird try to dive from the air and across a street, but a car zoomed by and it didn't make it. I know that for a fact because a puff of feathers went into the air, and on the ground layed the struck bird with a broken wing being pushed back and forth in the strong winds. It was such a sad site to see.

The woman with the cats sounds like a typical hoarder. They usually feel they're helping the cats by providing them with a home, but many times the animals turn out to be very sick. These problems usually happen because the cats are not spayed or neutered, so they simply keep reproducing out of control. It happens quickly.
As for the disgusting sites, I have seen dead cats on the road. It's always hit me pretty hard, as my cat was an outdoor for years (he's only been indoors for a couple of years). I was always afraid he would get hit by a car, especially when he would not show up for a day or so.
There are three particular bad stories I have about animals dying. The first two are birds. One was when my mom, brother, and I were returning to our house one afternoon, and my mom stopped the car and lept out. There was a blue jay attacking a young house sparrow on our garden rocks, literally trying to peck her brains out. My mom managed to save her, and we took her to the vet the next day. We named her Chancey because she kept defying the slim chances she had of surviving. Chancey had a broken wing, head injuries, and her one eye was so injured and swollen she could barely open it (she eventually went mostly blind). I remember that she would sometimes get a fever or start pecking at her bad wing when it bothered her. She wanted to go back outside, but she couldn't fly anymore (we found that out after she got out of my room, tried to fly, and fell a couple stories to the floor). She did, however, like when I would come home and play music for her. Chancey lived for a few months before she died.
Another bird one was when I was sitting in my old living room watching TV. There was a screen door on one wall, and I watched a medium-sized bird smash itself against the glass, break its neck, and die instantly.
I also saw a horse that was killed for no reason. The owners didn't want her anymore, because she was mean and not social. They decided to get her pregnant, keep or sell baby, and sell her, which disgusted me anyway. When the baby was born, it was severely deformed, and he died. The barn owner convinced them to put down the mother as well. The barn owner wasn't being mean; she was saving the horse from the owners' plans to sell her for slaughter. That family still makes me sick with the way they view their animals.
I apologize for the excessive ranting. neutral

Thats disgusting. It bafles me how hartless some people can be when it comes to unwanted animals. My neighborhood use to be filled with guys that were just horrid (use to be cuse they've all moved away now). Once I found the remains of a racoon that had been set on fire at a school down the street from my house. I found out latter that it had been the guys cuse they were complaining how they had to do comunity service for what they did. I was so irate I wanted to beat the living tar out of them. The poor thing died like that! I went home and was violently ill that night. And the thing was, the school was a grade school. pre K-3 I beleave. And the fact these guys got community service for doing THAT to a poor defencless animal made it even worse. It just seems like ever time I turn around their is another travisty toward nature going on. I just cant understand how an animal with a brain no larger then a childs fist (like a dog or cat) can get the simple fact of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" while humans (with brains much larger in size) kill and cause pain just for the fun of it. Being the dominant species on the planet one would think we could access more of our brains then just the part that tells us to cause pain.

InfinitysDaughter Lady_Nekochan Have you actually seen or heard your local ASPCA act cruelly, or do you mean they're at fault for the light sentences? Because they're not. The court system, local laws, and judges are responsible for judging and sentencing animal crimes. The ACPCA has no control over how much punishment they're given. Many of them are very frustrated by that.
Then again, we've seen good ones as well. Years later, we had a rescue center come down and help a Canadian goose who had fishing line wrapped so tightly around her leg it was cutting through it. We know she survived because she came back with a mate the next year and raised a family; we could tell it was her because she had a limp on the leg that had been tangled. I wonder if there's somewhere you can write to to complain about your local shelter? You might want to look into it.

And its not the shelters (they have to comply with the government) its the "animal rights protectors". They dont do a single thing to stand up for the animals rights.

InfinitysDaughter Lady_Nekochan You're correct, then. Your ASPCA doesn't sound like it does enough. We've had bad experiences with animal rescue places as well. We brought this abandoned baby bird to one once and found out it died the next day. There was no reson why; it had been just fine when we dropped it off, and wasn't having any health problems. I was too little to remember the place well, but I know my mom wasn't happy with the way they treated it.

They claim they love horses, but the truth is they love horses when the animals are useful.

Lady_Nekochan InfinitysDaughter Ya. Their are only 2 "shelters" in my area. The local pound that I have loads of problems with. They only keep animals for 3-4 days. Then they have them put down. And the other is Wag-n-tails. That one I like cuse its a no kill shelter. The problem is they have a limited amount of space and resorces to take care of unwanted pets. It seems to make more sence to me to give wag-n-tails the government money instead of the shelter that kills pets just cuse they are unwanted. But I guess that cuse of the caust. Money grubin poloticians.

Ya. Not to be offencive, but it seems to me that if your gona find a hypocrite its gona be in someone who owns a working animal. And not just horses but hurding and hunting dogs and such. I'm not saying your not gona find a hypocirte with other pet owners or that all working animal owners are, it just seems you'll find it with them cuse once their "beloved pet" cant work anymore its "off to the pound" I knew a horse owner like that too. My sister in laws best friend. Thankfully they arn't best friends anymore.
