hell on earth
One of our dogs died Friday. We rushed her to the Bombay SPCA because it’s the only all-night vet hospital we know of. They treated her with a callous irresponsibility we are still raging against. She would have died anyway, she was badly hurt, but they certainly protracted our pain and hers (the subject of a complaint letter that has been circulated widely now). But what stays beyond to haunt me beyond my grief is the horror of the place. Remember how the Scarecrow in Batman visits upon someone an image of their deepest abhorrence? For me, this would be it. In an atmosphere of despair that sucks your soul dry, abandoned and sick animals cry all the time. Howls, whimpers, almost-human shrieks rent the night. Anyone with a brain and a heart would be tormented. I’m never going there again. p.s. please don’t post condolence comments.
Hi Chhavi, You’ll be hearing from me soon. Reason: I’m productively channelising my energies n i think there is a lot I can learn from you.
no condolences.
but anger.
i hear ya.
They need to change their name from your description of the place. They may as well call themselves 24×7 vets since theyre not doing a very good job of preventing cruelty and seem to be causing it. :-/
