As Nazhira walked to school, she saw this little kitten struggling in the street in front of our school. She approached it and noticed something was wrong with the way it was moving. She is an animal lover and knew we were working on animal cruelty. Not wanting to leave the kitten, she called our teacher and told her what she had found. Our teacher asked her to bring the kitten to her classroom and put it in a box. We, Animal Protectors, were informed of the situation and went to check it out. The school bell rang and it was time to go to class.
While we were in our first period our teacher called the only vet there is in our town of Juana Díaz and made an emergency appointment to bring the kitten to him and after talking to our other teachers we were granted permission to take the kitten, which we named Tiger, to the vet and off we went.
When we got to the animal hospital it was full of caring owners waiting for their pets to be vaccinated, spayed and neutered or just to give them a check up. Our case was different, we were trying to save Tiger from injuries done to her by an insensible and heartless person.
The veterinarian, Dr. Rivera, checked Tiger and it broke our hearts when he gave his prognosis. Tiger would die a slow and painful death if not euthanized.
Today we experienced first hand wanting to help an abused and mistreated kitten and feeling the pain of knowing it would die.
It's a sad story and it happens every day. What makes me sadder? Not seeing a comment on this video. This is the cruel reality of our society and other videos posted of ridiculous things get more hits and comments. It is sad for the kitten, but it really reflects where our priorities are. Human beings at its worst!!
ReplyDeleteI was heartbroken and felt angry at the same time. I wish I knew who did this because I would report it in a heart beat.
