When people don't care about animals, you can make them give a crap by
explaining to them that psychopathic killers start out killing animals. If
you can't get them to give a damn about abused animals, they sure perk up
when they realize that after practicing on animals, these killers move on to
children and other people.

I have read a lot on the subject of sociopaths and criminals, and most of
them started being cruel to animals as young children.

It's also amazing to me that there seems to be no middle ground for cats -
people either love them or hate them, and I don't understand why. I
personally brought home all kinds of strays as a child and my parents either
let me keep them, or they found good homes for them. I had dolls but
preferred to dress up my cats and push them around in doll-buggies. They
didn't seem to mind a bit! I think it is important for parents to allow
their kids to have pets and care for them, to cultivate a caring for animal
life.

I have, obviously ( as do all of us) a very difficult time reconciling how
someone could NOT care about animals or worse... use and abuse them for
profit.   In truth... I think my anger at such people is more than a bit
beyond the pale and I worry, honestly, about getting myself in real legal
trouble should I encounter someone in the act of purposely harming an
animal.......   I try to remind myself to NOT be so self Righteous since I
had nothing to do with the caring I have for animals.... I was simply "made"
that way... it was part of me from the earliest years that I can
remember....  Had my genes been different..perhaps I'd be running a dog
fighting ring..    Beyond this, though, I feel it IS justified to require
people to at least ACT decently even if their heart does not melt for
animals....   Ok... so maybe they don't particularly care about the
miserable lives many animals ( and people) have....  I don't ask that they _
feel_ differently but I DO expect that they will not con
 tribute to or exacerbate that misery....   This is MY line in the sand and
I have NO forgiveness in my heart for people who do so.... People never
cease to amaze me both with their capacity for goodness and caring and their
utter lack of these same traits... how such polar opposites can exist in the
same  ( purportedly sentient) species boggles my mind.....   It does my
heart a world of good to know that all of you are out there making life
better for the little creatures that can do so little to improve their own
lot... your kindness humbles me....
