By now, there are only few things left that can make me mad. I'm not talking about being pissed because something went wrong, like missing a bus or alike, I mean being _enraged_
One of them is causing pain to a creature, that is not able to defend itself in any way.
Nel and I are about to get two cats from someone in the Black Forest. We didn't plan that, we agreed to take them before that... ass... killed them, for no one wanted the kittens.
Because we're overloaded with the renovation of our apartment, making it from a ruin into a place you can actually live in, we weren't able to get the cats over to our place yet. We let them there, promising we'll take them as soon as possible.
Now, one of the kittens had some kind of accident. The people there realized she did very bad at Saturday, but didn't do anything, not even bringing her to the vet or calling us.
Now, four days later, the situation is bad. We made Nel's mom getting her to the vet this evening and she just called, after Nel and I returned home from the apartment. The internal wound is infested now, being a serious live-threat for the young kitten.
I'm not mad because we get this kind of news after a long and hard day of work, nor am I mad about that the operation might take a lot of the money we got from our marriage.... I'm mad because letting our kitten struggle in pain for days and maybe even killing her is so unnecessary, so completely senseless.
The fact that someone is not able to call us, so that we can clear the payment and everything, instead watching a creature die simply escapes my ability to comprehend.
How can someone be that cruel?
Can someone explain me how this can be? I don't get it...
