You say your life would be successful if you could make at least ONE animal better, so focus on that focus on one, then two then three and so on. Not everything in this world can be saved, some thing's are destined to end.
Saving just ONE though will make a massive difference, to them and to you. And if you can build from there, then respect to you
Thank you.
I took in a stray cat about 15 years ago. I was living with my ex boyfriend. We broke up and I couldn't take the cat with me. Eventually I found out he took the cat to a shelter without telling me and it breaks my heart because what if the cat was put to sleep. What if the cat could have lived longer if I didn't take him in?
I rescued a puppy that was neglected and abused but had to be put to sleep because the puppy attacked a stranger that came over to taunt him.
My first cat, I was in second grade and we got her at a pet store. I didn't know about kitty Mills at that time. We also had her declawed which can cause pain and complications. But I can only cry thinking how much pain she could've been in.
We adopted four cats.
One winter night, I was still a kid, a baby squirrel came and was sick. I couldn't bring it inside so I made a little house but it eventually died. What if it wasn't warm enough or fed enough. I wish I knew to take it to the vet.
One night I found a dead bird. I'm pretty sure. I tapped to see if it would react. But what if it was just in so much pain it couldn't move at all? But stupid me thinking it was dead buried the bird. Then afterwards questioned myself what if it was still alive and I just buried it alive and even more in pain.
But my worst guilt is I was in A car when my ex was driving. I saw a raccoon in pain but on the street but before I could voice my concern he ran it over. It was night time so his defense was he thought it was garbage.
I can still remember the eyes of this raccoon and the eyes of my first cat when we had to put her to sleep because cancer just was relentless. She already had two surgeries and was old for another.
It really breaks my heart.
