My beautiful orange cat, Pikachu, only five months old, was poisoned by someone in our neighbourhood. He died right in front of me yesterday and there was nothing I could do. His mom, my cat Arrow pleaded with me to help Pikachu and I tried my best but it was too late. I know death well, I know the signs because my mother died in front of me and once I tried to save a man’s life and he died in front of me… A cat dying is the same… We all die the same… Our other cat, Rinkhals disappeared last night. I have no words… She is probably dead too…
But here are some thoughts
“He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”
― Immanuel Kant
“We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.”
― César Chávez
“The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.”
― Leonardo da Vinci
“Know that the same spark of life that is within you, is within all of our animal friends, the desire to live is the same within all of us…”
― Rai Aren, Secret of the Sands

O nee, Wolfie, so jammer om dit te hoor! Daar bly mos maar ‘n leë hoekie in ‘n mens se hart oor wat net aan daardie diertjie behoort het.

Thank you so much. I hate it when people hurt animals. It is so senseless. Killing an animal to eat is okay, or to this out a bit due to overpopulation, but any other reason is sick…

Vir Pikachu en alle diere wat nie om hulp kan skree nie ❤
On the Turning Away
Pink Floyd
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

So jammer Wolfie. Ons groot honde is ‘n paar jaar gelede vergiftig en dit breek ‘n mens se hart.

Dit is ‘n wrede seer om ‘n dier wat jy so lief het te sien swaarkry, wat so grotesk en pynvol vrek 😥
