So being home this summer has left me somewhat bored (although Lily does tend to keep me extremely busy) so I have picked up a bad habit of watching Animal Cops. My favorite would be the Houston version. John makes fun of me because I've watched it so much, I know all the investigators' names.
Anyway, the point of this, is that I get so angry when I watch this show because I just don't understand how people can hurt helpless animals. For instance, the one I'm watching right now, a person threw a kitten out a 3rd story window and the poor thing had multiple broken bones and ended up having to be put down. Seriously, who throws a kitten out a window? I just can't wrap my head around the fact that someone could do something like that to an animal.
Another one I watched was this nasty American Bulldog breeder and when they arrived to seize the animals, there were 34 dead in the pens. The rest were so severly starved, you could see all their bones. Those people probably were doing that only for the money in selling those puppies.
I guess I watch the show to see the happy endings for some of these animals. I am thankful that some of them do find their ways into homes with people who will care for them and love them like they deserve.

I've tried watching that show and I just can't do it - I get so angry. I can't understand what would motivate anyone to hurt a helpless animal just for the heck of it. I've thought about volunteering for the local animal shelter before (well, after Jim gets a wee bit bigger), but I'm sure I'd come home bawling every night.
