The Navigator's Lament

I had a kitten and I loved her so much
She was playful and gentle and so nice to touch.
But alas she went blind
And in my warped mind
A handicapped cat might never survive
And I fancied her better off dead than alive.
So I KILLED her . . .

Negative!

What I cannot abide, however, is people who write things
that indicate they consider their pets as just another throwaway
toy. There is all too much of this crap going on these days. What's
worse these people expect support and sympathy for their
moral decriptitude.

People move into an apartment or house where pets are not
allowed in the lease so they dump their pets out of the car
along the road somewhere. Or, people meet another person
who is alergic to their pets so they get rid of the pet at the
pound. The pet gets sick and it will be expensive to treat
so they have the vet kill it and on and on. People have many
excuses but what it all boils down to is FAILURE to accept
obligations because it is inconvenient to do so.

This indicates a total lack of conscience, morals and respect
for life in general. This is true psychotic behavior but so many
people exhibit it that it has blurred the norm. But, still, people
will continue to attempt to justify it by claiming they killed their
pet for whatever reason when the ONLY valid reason to ever
kill a pet is if it is suffering greatly and has no chance to live.
Only then can it be considered humane to kill the animal.
A real man will do the killing himself - not take the animal
to the vet which is another failure to live up to obligations.

It is never humane to abandon a pet. It is never humane to
regeg on your obligations to your pet. You willingly take on
the obligation. It shows a lack of morals to change your mind.
Too many people these days have no morals. They do whatever
is most convenient at any given time but what disgusts me is
they lie to themselves and attempt to justify this lack of morals
with lame excuses that simply don't make any logical or moral sense.

If my words can sway one opinion and save one animal they are
worth it. I don't care what people think of me for writing these
words.

You're right. That's why it needs to be explicitely pointed out that it
should not be done with pets because once people accept the aberration
with pets it's not all that difficult to migrate it to babies and kids.

One dog in the team one time... wouldn't pull, wouldn't wheel, wouldn't
lead, fought with it's team mates.... one week later it died of a lead
overdose. No tears....

Does your cat pull it's own weight on the boat? Pets on boats.... how
lubberly can you get!
Pathetic is what you are.

BTW, Stanley, whose head can be seen at the bottom of this picture, was "on his last legs"
at age 16 prior to this trip. However, the fresh air agreed with him, and he rallied to
survive the one year trip, spending most of the time sleeping under the dodger. We had to
do the kind thing this Spring, when he was 19 years old.

You wouldn't take an animal on board your boat?
