A couple weeks ago, while driving down the road, I saw a kitten by the side of it, still moving it's head. We stopped and took him straight to the animal shelter.
After examining the baby, they told me that it showed no signs of being hit by a car -- its injuries were from being thrown OUT the window of a quickly moving vehicle. There was little hope, but they promised to do what they could.
The kitten will live, thanks to the on-site vet at the shelter. He has two broken paws, a shattered pelvis, and a fractured vertebrae in his back, along with numerous lesser injuries. He will come home with me next week, if he's well enough, the poor thing.
Why can't people at LEAST take their pet to a shelter, if they don't want it? Are they too ashamed to look into the eyes of a person there and tell them they don't want their pet? If so, why can't they at least set the poor thing down on the ground and give it a fighting chance? How can they live with themselves?
