The same with dogs. An RSPCA advert used to move me to tears......the one where an old dog was tied up in a shambolic excuse for a garden in the cold an pouring rain.....yes, I do know it was only an advert....and yes, it was meant to grab me by the heart and rattle coins or notes out of me.

Ill treatment of elderly people/people who cannot speak for themselves(those with learning difficulties) makes my heart bleed. Tell me, does it make someone stronger to misuse and ill treat a weaker member of society? Does the power they wield give them some sort of 'kick'?
I don't know. But I hope that Karma is doled out to them and that in the quiet moments of their day...or in the darkness of their night, it comes and pokes them in the ribs.

You're right.

Not religious.

But eyes are the gateway to the soul, or whatever you want to call it.

Be it man, or beast.
