| A curse forever on people who mistreat innocent animals. And a
blessing on those who save them!

| 1138.3 | A horrible story with a happy ending | BAGELS::ALLEN | | Thu Feb 25 1988 07:42 | 13 |

The thing that upsets me most when I hear about these things is
that Smaug is truly one of the very LUCKY ones... I hate to think
if some jerk had NOT sent SMAUG to the horrible woman who was about
to destroy the poor babe when your wife found him.
I shudder to think how often mistreatment such as this continues
unnoticed. It makes me ill. Humans can be so cruel.
Poor little Smaug for having to endure what he did before he met
you, but lucky little Smaug for finding you.

| 1138.4 | People like that ought to be hung!!! | FIDDLE::HTAYLOR | Cat lovers are a special breed | Thu Feb 25 1988 08:28 | 8 |
| OH MY GOODNESS!!! Poor Smaug!!! Maybe it was an act of God that
those HORRIBLE people sent Smaug to the HORRIBLE woman just so that
you would adopt him and give him the love and attention that he
DESPERATELY needed. I'd like to hang people like that and see how
they feel about it. Or maybe mix kitty litter in their food.

| RE .4
My sentiments exactly!!!
Kinda makes you wonder what makes those people so cruel....and if
they do that to an innocent animal, what do they do to their kids?

| 1138.10 | Smaug,happy at last! | BPOV09::GROSSE | | Thu Feb 25 1988 09:36 | 16 |
| Good, Lord, anyone who treats any sentient creature that way are
not people they are monsters!!!! How many more of God's creatures
are out there being treated so cruelly? As I have been involved
with animal right for several years the answer unfortuantly is there
are legions. I worked for a while as a volunteer at a cat shelter
and the horror stories behind some of the rescued animals were
horrendous;kittens buried alive,starved,set on fire...all in the
name of "having fun" as the kids that were caught doing this sort
of thing gave for an "excuse". These little monsters grow up to
be the big monsters who so savagely abused poor Smaug (love the
name). Also they are learning that many crimanals doing life sentences
in jail have past histories of being involved in animal abuse.
I am so very happy that Smaug found you and your wife.
Many cuddles to Smaug from me and my gang

| Joe -
It is so good to know that there are wonderful and compassionate
people like you out there. Smaug has been rewarded by a kind and
loving home - and you have been rewarded by his affection and devotion.
A happy ending, thank heavens.
P.S. I hope Smaug is an indoor cat ????
Best wishes,

| Oh, God, stories like this make me want to track down those people
and inflict the same pain on them, only a lot slower and for a
longer period of time. It would give me great pleasure to watch
them suffer. To quote a good friend of mine: "I would like to
take all of the ignorant animal-haters out there, put them on a
leaky boat, and ship them out to sea."
Thank you for rescuing Smaug from those cruel monsters. Your story
brought tears to my eyes, and I'm so glad it had a happy ending.

| Re .2 and .7
I second you on cursing those who mistreat any of God's creatures.
I pray that God will bless those who care to do what is GOOD even
in the face of peers who do wrong, and that He punish (in this
world or the next) those whose hearts and minds are SICK!
Joe -
Your story makes my heart wrench with sorrow and anger. We've all
heard of or witnessed cruelty to animals.
Your concern brought happiness to Smaug and your family -- YOU ARE
VERY SPECIAL!
We need more Joe's in this world!!!

I just hope the old cliche "what goes around comes around" holds
true.

| Re: .21, sort of
I know that "statistics prove" that animal abuse, child abuse, and
spouse abuse are linked; i.e., someone who does one is _very_ likely
to be doing the others.
Let's talk about something more cheery. What does Smaug look like?
What are some of the things he likes to do?

| Joe,
It's too bad that Smaug isn't really a `dragon'. Then he could
`breathe on those horribly cruel `things' that had (can't say owned)
him before you.
I HATE stories like this but at least this one has a happy ending.
Tell us more about Smaug, please, please, please????

Well Joe, as in the Hobbit story.... even though your Smaug is not
a dragon, he/she does have something in common with the one in the
book...
sitting on a pile of riches!
Smaug, even though your cry is not too loud, you're story is sll
too clear... Have a wonderful remaining 8 lives!
Love from Clu, Winston and Alice
