New stray found

Found 3 new stray cats in my area.

All look young and all looked like abandoned too.

My mom said that likely some irresponsible soul saw me feeding stray and so decided that I can be a convenient solution to take care of them. For sure, that soul is cruel to think that way. Now, I hope to get them familiarise to their new homeless life and then spay them for good.

Lately that man, who hates cats and attacks them when he finds a chance, tried to attack a stray while it was eating. He threw a plastic stool hard and loud but missed the cat. I could see, from opposite the road, that it ran for its life while that man looked at it angrily.

Just few days' back, that man re-appeared at the same place hoping that the stray will be there to eat. This time I avoid feeding any stray there. Anyway, he didn't see it and so he left.

I wrote to TODAY expressing my concern. But my article was rejected. Then I wrote to OMY, a chinese media, to express the same article. Till now, I don't hear a thing; I guess it has been forgotten. The article revealed the disappointment of calling the police when it comes to animal abuse, and also views on police refering us to SPCA saying it's their job to help us. But then, SPCA staff are not trained to subdue violent man, so how can we expect SPCA to stop a violent man from attacking animals? Are they trained in self-defence and conflict mediation? If not, then why on earth refer animal abuse cases to SPCA?

This morning, I walked past the same place. I saw a new stray there, fed her while i stand watching. If that man shows up, he is likely hurl words at me and spit. I had ever referred to the polcie for the spitting gester, police came but didn't take any action but copy down my ID. I was totally disappointed. I doubted their ability to protect civilians who really need one. They would perhaps be better off coming to the 'after-crime' scene and then do something to slavage what that is already been damaged - whether it is a life or a thing.
