Letters: The helplessness of animals on the street
RE C.M. PARNS' recent letter on the alleged worthlessness of animals:
A dog or cat or any animal is helpless. The strays on the streets are cold, alone and hungry. Looking for someone to be kind to them. They are alone without love. If they get hurt, they cannot tell anyone or ask for help.
A homeless person can go to a shelter and get clothes, food, a warm bed.
A person can walk and talk. If they get hurt, they can go to a hospital.
Animals may not pay taxes, but a homeless person doesn't pay taxes, either!
You must be a real animal-hater. Go on the streets and live, night and day. See how you feel.
May God protect any animal that ever has to be around you.
I feel sorry for a person like you.
