I saw something that broke my heart today

I looked out the window and saw a cat that looked like my dear old friend Claude who used to sit with me out on the balcony at nights when I was lonely. I thought perhaps the neighbours across the street had got a new cat, but then later I started to notice that this cat was going door to door, probably looking for its home. It was so heartbreaking as there wasn't really much I could do... If only there was some way humans and animals could communicate better.

I don't endorse the domestication of animals, nor the breeding of them for the purposes of food. I wish more people could see the harm that's being done to them - if you're reading this I encourage you to visit www.safe.org.nz. If we can't look after those who need our love the most in this world, how are we ever going to be able to save it?
