Caring for animals

394

Editor,

This is an open letter to the heartless deplorables who dump their unwanted animals in the country. 

You can lie to yourself that these helpless creatures will be taken in by some kindly stranger. The truth is that they will spend their last days hungry, terrified and then ripped to shreds; killed and eaten by coyotes, foxes or dogs.

I’ll bet you call yourself a Christian, yet you ignore the words of Jesus, “What you do unto the least of these, you also do unto me.” Spay and neuter the animals you keep around your home. “What?” you say? “I can’t afford that!” Then don’t have them. Or at the least, take the unwanted offspring to the local NO-KILL shelter.

May God forgive for your sin.
