I've juz gotta write bout this .... just afew days ago 3 dead cats appeared at the doorsteps of our medical centre for no apparent reason ... yup ... no one knows how or why they were there ... they just were ... not 1, not 2 but 3 lifeless bodies ...
This happened one morning when we reported to work as usual ... not really expecting anything to happen out of the blue ... had just arrived in the medical centre and warmed the seat for about 5 mins before joel arrived, exclaiming he spotted a dead cat nearby the front entrance ... curious, we went to take a look ... not a pleasant sight really ... daniel threw a glance n went back into the docu room straight away! the cat had its neck cut halfway, lying motionless on the grass patch beside the entrance ... gross ... since we cant possibly leave the cat lying ard for would-be patients to view, we had to clear it ... ( joel had the dubious honour of doing most of the wrk) ... lifting a dead cat, with its head half dangling by a thin thread of skin, into a black trash bag just outside the entrance of a medical centre is not something you would yearn to do in an early weekday morning ...
well ... so its just one dead cat ... no big deal ... after all it could have died in some freak accident somehow right ? (though i cant really thing of any event that would leave a carcass in that manner and location ...)
then the 2nd surpise came just as our first few patients arrived ... 2 more dead cats !!! this time they were found at the back of the medical centre ... now this is too much to be of a concidence right ?! i was in the docu room at the time, attending to the some patients ... when i heard bout this, i just had to see it ... thoughts to myself : 'is it really possible ?! is derrick just pulling my leg ?!' . went to take a look as soon as i could ... sure enough there they were ... 2 of them ... both white like the first ... at least they died intact ... the disposal team (2 of our numbers ...) was already in action when i arrived ... well , work beckons ... i went back to the docu room, partly to get back to work , partly to get away from the awful scene ...
This issue became rather big ... the higher-ups were informed n came to investigate ... after all, we wouldn't want a demented cat serial killer on the loose, would we ? my heart aches at the thoughtof these deaths ... don't understand how anyone could be cruel enough to commit such an act ? aren't these just poor defenseless creatures ?
i dunno bout others ... but i believe that animals too have their rights on Earth ... having family or financal problems certainly do not grant you any right over their lives ... much more so if they are being ill-treated as a result of a moment of rage or euphoria ... every so often the newspapers report of animals being ill-treated ... just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time ... being beaten up, drowned, mutilated, buried, kept in enclosed spaces and neglected .... the list goes on ... what the hell is wrong with these ple ?! their warped minds are incomprehensible to me ...
of course ... the rage does not end here .. its even directed at our very own homo sapiens ! mass murders, suicide bombers, tortures no longer shock us as much as the stock market... ( yawnz ... anything new besides the bomb attack ? WAT ?! OIL PRICES STILL ON THE RISE !?) ...
sigh .. in the words of some of the world's most famous people ... " i wish for world peace ... " ... a simple and noble wish ... yet virtually impossible ... Bless us ...
