How can people be so cruel?

[wendybeth]

I was constantly bringing home stray and such as a kid- luckily my mom (who was psycho about nearly everything else) also loved animals and would let me keep them. One time when I was in college I came home late from a party and heard meowing from a tree in our yard. I discovered a kitten was stuck up there on a branch waaay too high for me to attempt sober, which I was not. I stayed up all night talking to it and as soon as the sun came up I climbed up and managed to grab the kitty without breaking my neck. That was Ninja Kitty #1, who was one of my favorite kitties in a lifetime of kittiness.

Good for you, BTD! I also will never understand how anyone could be cruel to animals or people, especially the babies.
