Has anyone, as a child, ever hurt animals like pelting stray cats and dogs with stones? It’s gotten to a point where it’s a constant buzz that keeps reminding me of my cruelties howsoever trivial they were. And once the deed is done you start repenting your vile act. I used to do this when I was a kid. Please help/suggest.

Someone had called in an animal cruelty report. I had a couple of dogs when I was a kid, but I mostly grew up with cats. I have a lot of patience with cats. I don't believe that any cat is unadoptable, even feral cats. I believe that a feral may never be a lap cat and they may never even let you pet them.

Two of the activists, one painted to look like a dog and the other like a cat, stood in gift boxes holding signs that urged people not to view animals as toys and to adopt pets instead of purchasing them. The protest’s goal was to make “society aware” of the fact that animals “need time, love and lots of care,” AnimaNaturalis said.

Mentally, they go insane from boredom and stress, just as our dogs or cats would if they were kept in tiny crates or carriers for their entire lives.
