❗Σήμερα το πρωί, στην Αθήνα, άφησα φαγητό και νερό σε μια αδέσποτη γατούλα που ήταν ξαπλωμένη στη σκιά. Σε ένα σημείο που δεν ενοχλούσε κανέναν. ❗Λιγότερο από μία ώρα αργότερα, πέρασα ξανά. Τα δύο μπολ ήταν πεταμένα μέσα στον κάδο σκουπιδιών. Η γάτα ήταν ακόμη εκεί. ❗Χωρίς άλλο μπολ διαθέσιμο, άνοιξα μια κονσέρβα και αναγκάστηκα να της βάλω το φαγητό στο πεζοδρόμιο. Το διπλανό διαγνωστικό κέντρο βοήθησε αμέσως, δίνοντάς μου ένα καθαρό δοχείο και δροσερό νερό. ❗Και τότε, από κάποιο παράθυρο, άκουσα μια φωνή: «Να το πάρεις σπίτι σου ρε, το βρωμόγατο. Έρχεστε εδώ και τα ταΐζετε. Έχετε γεμίσει τον κόσμο γάτες και φαγητά και δεν μπορούμε να περπατήσουμε». ❗Δεν απάντησα. Δεν ήξερα καν από ποιο παράθυρο ερχόταν η φωνή. Και, για να είμαι ειλικρινής, δεν είχε και κανένα νόημα. ❗Γύρισα στη γάτα και έμεινα εκεί περίπου είκοσι λεπτά. Μέχρι να φάει. Και μέχρι να βεβαιωθώ ότι αυτή τη φορά κανείς δεν θα της πετάξει το φαγητό. ❗Μέσα σε λίγα μέτρα, δύο διαφορετικοί κόσμοι. ❗Κάποιος είδε ένα μπολ με φαγητό για μια αδέσποτη γάτα και το πέταξε στα σκουπίδια. ❗Κάποιοι άλλοι έψαξαν να βρουν ένα δοχείο για να τη βοηθήσουν. ❤️Κι εκείνη δεν ήξερε τίποτα απ’ όλα αυτά. 🐾Πεινούσε μόνο. ❗This morning, in Athens, I left food and water for a stray cat lying in the shade. In a place where she was bothering no one. ❗Less than an hour later, I passed by again. Both bowls had been thrown into the rubbish bin. The cat was still there. ❗With no other bowl available, I opened a can of food and had to put the food on the pavement. The diagnostic centre next door immediately helped, giving me a clean container and some cool water. ❗And then, from somewhere above, I heard a voice coming from a window: “Take the filthy cat home with you. You come here and feed them. You’ve filled the whole place with cats and food and we can’t even walk.” ❗I didn’t answer. I didn’t even know which window the voice was coming from. And, to be honest, there was no point. ❗I went back to the cat and stayed there for about twenty minutes. Until she had eaten. And until I was sure that, this time, no one would throw her food away. ❗Within just a few metres, two different worlds. ❗Someone saw a bowl of food for a stray cat and threw it in the rubbish. ❗Someone else looked for a container to help her. ❤️And she knew nothing about any of this. 🐾She was just hungry. #Αδέσποτα #StrayCats #AnimalWelfare #BeKindToAnimals #Athens #Αδέσποτα #StrayCats #AnimalWelfare

To defend the indefensible, a fake study with 'figures' are made up about how 'beneficial' hare coursing is... even if the figures were real, it wouldn't justify this cruel practice. Will the government correct the Dáil record? Or allow this made up nonsense to sit as 'fact'? https://t.co/2vFPLdBgXJ #HareCoursing #AnimalWelfare #FakeStudies #IE
