Q: Not Nice..

I was taking Jenny to nursery & on the road outside a farm I saw two little black things in the road. As I got closer, I could see they were kittens.. & one was dead. The other one was just curled up, trying to move, so I pulled over to help it. I wrapped it in a blanket that I have in my car, & carried it to the side of the road.. but I realised it was bleeding pretty badly from its nose & mouth
A farmer came out & said "is this down to you??" & at this point I was pretty upset, so I told him I'd just stopped to help & he went "well.. they're only strays, it doesn't matter anyway"
The kitten was obviously beyond help.. it must have had pretty bad internal bleeding, so the farmer said he'd "put it out of its misery". I don't even wanna think about how he did that.
It's affected me so badly, I can't think of anything else other than that poor little thing.. it miaowed really softly when I picked it up & its heart was racing.. I wish I could have saved it.
What makes me really mad is that plenty of people drove past them & no-one stopped. I was in a rush to get Jenny to nursery & I STILL pulled over to see if I could help.. I couldn't just drive past. Some people are heartless.
That was a sad way to start my day

Zanny you are a great person, I always see cats on my way to and from work and I want to pull over and get them. I almost turned around one day, it's sad because it's on a highway, people just take kittens and puppies they don't want and drop them off on the side of the highway, that's why i always see them. I could run my own shelter just from them 
it's really sad though.

That's so sad! I'm so sorry, Zan. You're so sweet to have pulled over like that. I wish someone else had done it sooner - maybe they could have been saved.

Really? It's like that there? I barely see anything like that. Man if I did, I'd just be constantly depressed.
That's so sad about the kittens Zanny. I saw a cat get hit by a car in front of me once and we stopped to wrap it up and take it off the road and see if we could do something for it. The person who hit it stopped, then looked out their door, then drove away. It was soooo horrible seeing it bleed every where and kick it's legs and while we were still holding it it's eyes glazed over and it stopped moving and died. Man, I was depressed for so long after that. It might sound silly but I didn't feel the same after watching that cat die, and I lost a bunch of faith in humanity. I cried all the way home, and for like a week. I just felt so horrible about people and the world and that poor cat. Man, I'm a bleeding heart.
I'm sorry you had to see that Zanny.

When I was working at the animal shelter here 2 years ago, I saw some really awful things....
Skinned bobcats, 5 legged dogs-yes 5!
abused animals.... embedded collars... really awful things...
animal victims of dog fighting...
emaciated horses.... really emaciated...
There are awful things people do to animals... sadly, accidents happen though
Sorry you had to be apart of it
