Nasty thing to say but that’s FR for you.
Do you know anything about feral cats?
I’ll bet that Mama Cat had them in the dumpster and something happened to Her.
I’m not a big fan of cats, however you can’t not respect somebody who respects lives…
PING this one over to Slings and Arrows.
As a kid growing up in rural Georgia, we had a county dumpster at the end of the road from our house. We pulled out dozens of kittens and puppies that had been thrown in it and cared for them until we could find them new homes. Almost 50 years later, I am at the other end of the county and about a month ago somebody dumped a box of puppies at the end of the road. No shortage of douchebags.
Beautiful analogy.
We must protect the puppies and the kittens. It is one of the roles that we have on this planet of ours.
Yes but dumping them in the trash or drowning them is not the answer. Spay and neuter needs encouragement...
Having read the article, it sounds like that’s exactly what happened. No one put them in there, they were born in there.
I wish we could use people who do that for medical experiments and target practice, personally.
From another perspective, there goes the environment due to the impact feral cats have on birds, for example, that eat the mosquitos that drive West Nile Virus across the states. see

I would have been more impressed if there was mention of spaying the kittens before releasing them.
And I would be even more grateful if the author had compressed the pix before killing the tablet I use to read FR.
A pox on whoever threw those little babies into a dumpster!
Puppy mills are a far worse problem.
Thanks for that. What you said was so beautiful.
I do not know that, It may or may not be true.
I know that those who do the most damage claim to be doing it for the most good.
Adolf Hitler was a big animal rights guy.
The way to He!! is paved with good intentions.
On this Earth, hard choices need to be made. Those who are unwilling to do what is necessary, suffer.
It is a self correcting problem, usually.
I don't think so. He kills and eats them, doesn't he?
Fixing your assertion:
The core of any human is shown by how he treats animals fellow humans.
(at least doesn't usually literally eat them, as a carnivore would)
Remember the Golden Rule?
I grew up on a farm where we always had a lot of cats.
They thin themselves out, in time. Sadly, sicknesses like distemper, help.
I know there are probably too many stray cats, but some communities have done a good thing; rounded up the strays, had them neutered or spayed and let them go.
They never asked to be born and don't deserve to suffer. We can and should help them.
If you don't believe most murderers have a history of animal cruelty, look it up. Anyone who would delibertly hurt an innocent, defenseless animal would probably be capable of anything.
Just my humble opinion because I love all animals and birds. they are God's innocent little creatures.
to quote Temple Grandin, “I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect.” Animals are basically defenseless and a hateful person will take advantage of that and torture animals - IMO rotten core!
