I asked a [Cuban-refugee] friend who operated a car repair shop, “Why is that cat holding its narrow tail straight-out?”
He replied, “Humberto soaked its tail in gasoline and set it on fire.”
Later, my friend sent me a photo printout of Humberto listed as an arrested pedophile.
“They’re not sending their best.”
Cuban emigres whom I know describe the current Cuban populace as morally degraded by the decades of communist rule. Your account of the cat abused by a Cuban born pedophile is evidence of that.
