Of course, the great majority of \u201cmuch nicer people\u201d simply abandon their animals, especially when very young, just because this is easier, presumed (??) to be kinder, and is not permanently visible to the person concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Don\u2019t just read this printed stuff &#8212; I have actually seen the whole situation, multiplied many times, and have dealt with it in my own humane way. If there is any god, or, even much more doubtfully, <em>any god of any sort in you<\/em>, act mercifully with unwanted animals, preferably through early sterilisation, or via the veterinary surgeon at the mspca.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I almost violently wish that the cruel methods meted out to kill the pitiful stray or abandoned animals could also be meted out, <em><strong>in full public view<\/strong><\/em><strong>, <\/strong>to those cruel and heartless people (which is a very much too feeble a set of words used to describe these perverts) who let pets run loose, or act as cruelly as mentioned above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The crowd watching their \u201cslowish descent into death\u201d would be vast, and utterly pitiless. BETS would be cast !!! Even I would go to watch the spectacle, before, no doubt, vomiting !! Otherwise, kind disposal of unwanted animals\u2019 lives (via the mspca) might just save your soul &#8212; if you even have one!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For me, at least, I care absolutely nothing for so-called \u201chumanity\u201d, especially for the poorest and stupidest, who unwittingly over-reproduce the most unwanted children \u2013 who often suffer in the same way as unwanted animals. But, I would love to see those most cruel dog\/cat\/child killers treated in just the same manner in which they disposed of their unwanted dependents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My latest, and perhaps best idea, is their visible execution inside a tank full of large very hungry sharks!! But I would again BET on who lived longest!!! Wouldn\u2019t that be great FUN!! But, the worst aspect of this whole thing, is that it is NOT always the poorest who act in the worst ways. THEY would be even greater fun to see perish!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>PS &#8211; Good News: I am delighted to report that 5 new 6 to 8 week old kittens, whom I picked up recently, suddenly became very ill due to cross viral infection, of whom I strongly expected to find at least 2 or 3 dead this morning, have ALL recovered, are very active, and have eaten well. Perhaps there is a god, and he just gets pissed off with me now and then!! Now, it\u2019s 21 cats, 7 dogs, and 1 wife. I\u2019ve seen better days!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><em>* Published in print edition on 13 January 2012<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By DC WEST<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":269,"featured_media":6560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[27],"tags":[20339,19899,13228,20338,14215,20340],"class_list":["post-1444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society","tag-cats","tag-dc-west","tag-dogs","tag-grammoxone","tag-mspca","tag-sterilisation"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/MT-Logokk.jpg?fit=1200%2C880&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8QzSF-ni","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/269"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mauritiustimes.com\/mt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
