I love all animals. I am especially a cat person. I have one cat at home and look after 4 in my yard. We have a family friend who lives close to us she is like us too, feeds cats looks after them etc. Her neighbors were always super rude and harsh about her looking after cats. Complained to her all the time, constantly knocked her door and all. I like to point out that she lives in an apartment building but she looks after her cats in the gardens that belong to that building, but feeds them elsewhere so neighbors wont complain as much.
Yesterday she found one of her cats murdered and hung on her window. I can’t get the image of that out of my eyes. I have been crying for hours, she is in a horrible state as well. It was utterly diabolical. We are not sure which neighbor of hers did that but we have a few guesses. Even if we find the guy who did it, animals are treated as objects by law where I live so even if we sue the guy it will count as damage to property and few will just have to pay a few hundred dollar fee.
I am filled with so much sadness and horror. How can someone do that to any living thing. I can barely see what I am typing from tears. I- I don’t know what to do. We took her other cats to a pet hotel to keep them safe, and trying to find them new much safer and happier homes but I am utterly disgusted and perplexed by what I saw yesterday. It was a brutal murder. I could not sleep last night. Thank God I have nice neighbors who also like my cats.
I don’t know how to handle this or get over this. I can’t focus on anything. It has certainly traumatized me. Our friend is talking to the police but not much is coming out of that.
Few years ago neighbors just right next to us had a sweet lab named Boris. Someone just came and poisoned and killed the poor dog. He was such a lovely dog. some stupid people complained that “he barked a lot” but like??? He is a dog?? Of course he will bark!! Some people are fucking heartless brutal psychopaths.
I just want to ask the people of this sub how do you deal with this mentally. Even when it was not this close to me; or even when I just read about violence against animals like this on the news and stuff... I can’t recover from that for days. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to cope with this type of grief?
