RE: A cautionary pet tale to share with your neighbors, because I know You Would Never ....
Heart-wrenching tale, all of it :(
I don't know countryside people, or folk that interact with them on a regular basis, but if I ever do, I'm giving the latter group this link.
As someone who has pulled off maybe two or three such rescues (albeit with my parents), and not all of which ended with the creature in question surviving, I feel your pain with having to put down the likes of cats, dogs and birds. It's just too searing on one's soul.
I hope you're able to put this whole behind you (as best as it can be) soon.
Bless you and your husband (and anyone else that helps with it) for fronting this kind of effort and compassion in saving these creatures :)
May God give you strength.
Soul searing. Yes.
I'm pretty sure it's not something that I'll move past until we move away and I'm not excited about moving away. So.
I'm gradually cooking up some idea about how to educate but not sure exactly how. Maybe I'll start with taking to my vet ... hmm and my vet tech son in law.
Finding the local audience in the age of Internet is actually kind of complicated especially being rather new here.
Thanks for your empathy! Ttyl
:(
That's a good idea, and a good start. Perhaps you could also try writing to the likes of Animal Planet or National Geographic or something, with a story idea they could air. Like how they used to do, wherein they'd follow the story of a single animal (or maybe three at once), from start to finish, and how each animal's story would end. Something hard-hitting.
Or maybe to the likes of Buzzfeed, and 9GAG. Those are even faster ways you might reach people. Just send em' out there. And share this link wherever as well.
True, but once found...can be milked for all it's worth. Or the channels through which they'd be found, at any rate.
:)
