Stupid idiotic people

[rosiespark]

I am so fucking pissed off! And heavy-hearted and just...gah!

The cat I've been feeding that had five kittens - well, the kittens aren't even two weeks old yet, they're only eleven days old. And this stupid child has taken two of them away from their mother and is refusing to give them back. And her grandmother won't take them away from her and give them back to me so I can return them to their mother - because the stupid child is having a tantrum and it wouldn't be good to upset her further.

I went round to their house to try and get them to put the two kittens back. I was reasonable, explaining that the kittens need to be back with their mother for a while longer, and quite insistant. And I failed dismally. I feel I should have been forceful - should have barged into the house and wrested the kittens from the horrible child and marched off with them. I don't know - now I feel guilty as well as sad.

Why are people so fucking stupid and obstinate and selfish? I feel like crying.

Oh god, what a nightmare. Go you for trying to get them back. Could you go back over in a little while, once the idiot child has calmed down (and don't even get me started on rotten children) and try again? And if they still won't give you the kittens, tell them you're calling the Humane Society, then do it.
Good luck and let us know what happens.

Also, you could inform the grandmother that one of the first signs a child will become a serial murderer is cruelty to animals...

Heh. I checked on the mother cat on my way home just now, and guess what? She had all five kittens in the box with her. Awww!

So it seemes my rant had some effect. We'll see how long it lasts. ::crosses fingers::

I was going to phone the SPCA tomorrow morning - will keep it in mind as a last resort.
