Re: [Felvtalk] Jack - please add to CLS
Like Mary Christine says - spay and neuter your neighbors. maybe that will make a difference. i know a lot of people i would like to do that to. same ones that don't take care of pets also do not take care of children. when i reported a case of abuse, the investigator said that at least 8 out of 10 cases of abuse he checks on, he also turns in a report of child or spouse abuse. i wonder some times would the world be better off without man? doris Kelley Saveika wrote: > First, can I say how annoyed I am with the neighbors?

I didn't ask, didn't want to know really. At this point, there wouldn't be any proof. I could say "I don't think they fed their dying cat", but he's gone now. I just kind of got away from her as quick as I could. People in wheelchairs don't have all that many options, though she could have called a taxi - she could have come over here and gotten me, except my porch isn't handicapped accessible - but I'm pretty sure I gave her my # . I think we kind of forget that not everyone knows how to syringe feed, not everyone knows how to give subq fluids, but by damn, I came home very early in my rescue career and my sweet Jasmine had been vomiting and had diarrhea all day and was super dehydrated (was shocked it could happen that fast, but it did) - I realized something was very wrong and got her to the er immediately - she had a raging case of mastitis and had to have surgery and was fine after that up til the day she was stolen under color of law by the state..miss her so much. All I can do is spay and neuter everything that goes into their house, and reiterate to please not take animals to the pound, we will work with them to help find them homes if necessary.

Oh, Kelley, that's awful. Sleep soft sweet Jack, I'm sorry for the suffering you endured.

Re: [Felvtalk] Jack - please add to CLS
Oh, Lord, Kelley, these people really have no right to any pets!!! Poor Jack, I hope he didn't suffer too much. I know he knows you cared and would have helped him. The bigger question is whether he can forgive his boneheaded people. Gentle Bridge vibes to the dear boy. I know you're trying to be charitable, but do you know if they fed and watered Jack during that time? For his sake I pray they did, but if they didn't, doesn't that constitute abuse, and could they not be reported? Or would that open a can of worms with your own situation that you'd rather not?
