Worte an jemanden, der Hunde vergiftet

Was du nicht weißt, wenn du dein mit Nägeln gefülltes Hackbällchen in die Büsche wirfst.
Was du nicht weißt, wenn du Chemikalien über ein Stück Brot träufelst und an den Wegrand legst.

Du weißt nicht wie es ist, wenn du deine Hunde den letzten Atemzug nehmen hörst.
Du weißt nicht, wie es dich zerreißt, wenn du wie der Teufel zur Tierklinik rast, aber merkst, dass du nicht schnell genug bist.
Du wirst nie wissen, wie es ist, wenn dein Hund zittert und zusammensinkt, weil der ganze Körper gegen das Gift kämpft.
Du weißt auch nicht, wie es ist, wenn du das einst warme und flauschige Fell streichelst und es nur noch stumpf und kalt ist.

Letter from Pit Bull’s rescuer to her former owner is as heartbreaking as it is heartwarming

After a Pit Bull was abandoned by her former owner in an apartment in New York she was taken to a shelter. The dog named Cathy had been used for breeding and been badly abused. Although her future looked bleak, she was rescued and recovered thanks to her new family. Her new guardian wrote this open letter on Manhattan’s Craigslist to Cathy’s former owner. It’s a truly heartwarming account of Cathy’s life after her rescue:

“3 yrs ago you were evicted from [address redacted, eds.]. I have your dog. (Lower East Side)

“On Feb 9th 2011, you were evicted from an apartment at [number redacted] Catherine St and your old red pit bull was seized by animal control and taken to the kill shelter. She was really skinny and had bad skin infections, and had been bred A LOT. She’d even had a Caesarian, judging by the scar. They said at the kill shelter she was 12 years old. She also had a lopsided face and it looked like there were a few cigarette burns on her head/ears.”

They tell you ...

They tell you not to cry.
They tell you that it's just a dog, not a human being.
They tell you that the pain will be over.
They tell you that the animals don't know that they have to die.
They tell you that it's important not to let him suffer.
They tell you that you can have another one.
They tell you it's going to happen to you.
They tell you that there is more pain.
But they don't know how many times you've looked into your dog’s eyes.

Pope Francis said that all animals can go to Heaven!

This story is something you should be happy about because according to Pope Francis, animals can go to heaven after all.

Here’s how it came about. Pope Francis talked to a boy who is mourning the death of his dog. He told him not to worry because animals can go to heaven.

His exact words, were … “one day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ,” and “paradise is open to all of God’s creatures.”

A lot of people are confused because there is a long-standing theological position that animals don’t have souls, meaning, they just stop exiting after their deaths – though this is not a doctrinal statement.

“If the Pope did mean that all animals go to heaven, then the implication is that animals have a soul, Christine Gutleben, the senior director of faith outreach at the Humane Society of the United States, told the Times.

And if that’s true, then we ought to seriously consider how we treat them. We have to admit that these are sentient beings, and they mean something to God.”
