RE: It's a cruel, cruel world we live in
You are emotional right now but it's an accident. People don't crush animals on purpose. But yeah the driver could have at least removed the animal from the road.
Around 2 months ago, I was parking the car when I saw a kitten lying ahead. I got out to shoo it away because it was exactly in place where the wheels would come rolling. To my surprise, it was dead. I got back in the car and parked it in another spot and came back to see the kitten. Now it wasn't alone, her mommy and siblings were dragging it away. So I didn't interfere but I felt so down. It was me who had taken out the car from the same spot 15 minutes ago. I didn't notice any cat or living being around the car that time, not even while taking out the car did I hear or felt anything. But I felt morbid, rooted to the spot and my eyes glued to the broken family. The same family, I had been feeding for the past few weeks. They were living in my window... I remained in guilt for weeks. There's a chance I wasn't responsible for it but the timing and location said otherwise. :(
True. Idts there exist people who'd kill these bezuban animals on purpose. What really hurt me was her lying in the middle of the rood drowned in her own blood. The blood stained paws meant sh didn't die instantly but struggled for sometime maybe. The driver could have atleast poured water on her or something maybe something idk.
I understand what you went through. As I said there are some incidents, some accidents where we are not left with a choice. I used to feed a puppy outside my house. You know how it is in Pakistan? Killing dogs and all that. I had to keep an extra check on that little guy.
One afternoon my dad hurriedly called me and asked me to go out and check on that poor soul. My brother while reversing his car accidentally ran over the puppy. His face had completely broken and I can still hear his wailing. My brother was too devastated to even move. I called a veterinarian and he took this puppy to the clinic where the treatment was done.
After a couple of days the puppy was brought back to my place but then he never stayed put there. It was as if he'd lost his trust in him. Though he had recovered, he moved out and I saw him for a few more days outside the society untill he wasn't anywhere to be found.
The guilt in the heart demonstrates the purity of the heart. You're blessed to have it.
