Consider the suffering of an intelligent & complex social animal: the abducted cat
a family pet used to sleeping in warmth, fed free & loved
will live about 2 years feral (but not in Winnipeg)
soon starving, emaciated, dirty, cold, hunted, injured
dies alone and in pain
probably doesn't wonder what it did to deserve this
the poisoned cat
I wish I hadn't read about it
Consider the suffering of those intelligent & complex social animals: the human family of the cat
Will the widow who sleeps with the cat in her arms be hurt? Is that your mom?
How do you explain to a child that someone poisoned her cat on purpose?
Our overriding moral purpose should be to reduce suffering.
