There's two things in this world that REALLY piss me off more than anything! Child abuse and animal cruelty/neglect. I'm sure i abuse my own kids sometimes [They had a fair bit of crap in their school lunches this week], and i'm sure i neglect my pets at times [When was the last time i took poor Princess for a walkies?] But when i know of people who just collect animals [coz their kids beg for them] and then don't look after them such as get them spade [but let them have litter after litter] or take them for vet visits when they are hurt [Coz it costs "too much money"] and just let them roam around the streets or shut them out at night [because they can't be bothered keeping an eye on them or doing some fence work to keep them safe]I won't think twice about calling the RSPCA on someone for Animal neglect.
And child abusers? I wouldn't hesitate to call child welfare on someone if i even had a slight suspicion that a child was being neglected or abused.
After completing Cert 3 in childcare, i had an opportunity to go for a job in child welfare. But i couldn't take it. Because the first time i had to deal with a child abuse case i'd go to prison for beating the crap out of the offending party, and i wouldn't even feel bad about it!
Children and animals don't have the voices to speak up for themselves like we do. The only sense of justice they have is the one we set for them. So it's up to us to protect them.
"Every child is every body's business" so i read somewhere once.
I don't feel great passion about many things, but these two things sit incredibly high on my priority list!!
In fact, the only two charities i support are the RSPCA and Red Nose Day. If there were charities to support abused kids, i'd be all over that like a fly on poo too!
There's my rant for a while....
So there!
And yea i'm pro-life too! Don't even get me started on that! lol
