Here in the US we have commercials about groups that rescue animals from people that don't treat them good. My H, and I can't watch them bc it hurts us so much to see there suffering. We look at animals like we do children, innocent, and giving unconditional love. People make the decision to hurt, neglect, not feed/water, ect… to animals, and children, not to mention other grown people. I guess this is one reason I don't trust, or care to be around many people. I fall very short of the innocents of children, and animals, but I try to treat others as I want others to treat me. Anyway I see animals like dogs, and cats like I see children, and it is painful when you see them not treated good!!! We have had a few pets pass away, and it is very painful, when you look at them as a part of your family, even when you know they have a shorter life span.
