Pets need compassion

Kudos to Elizabeth Miller (BDN letter, July 27) for bringing up an issue that turned my stomach. I, too, came across an unfortunate cat that had been hit by a car and left in distress.

Surprisingly, this happened just 100 feet from the ER veterinary clinic and still nobody would take the time to drop it off or even contact their staff for assistance. Although this animal could not be saved, I wonder how long it would have suffered before it died, alone and scared?

What if that was somebody’s beloved pet?

How about a little compassion? Animals have feelings, too.
