my husband and I found a stray [cat] who had what we thought was a broken leg... his leg had to be amputated. ... they are hoping to place him in a permanent home once he recovers. Can you imagine the howling indignation in this online community if someone thinking he or she was being cute joked about stomping the cat to death to put him out of his misery? But some homeless 28-year old human being dying this way on the roof of a vacant apartment building in our tolerant, sophisticated neighborhood? Not only is the indignation almost non-existent, but some of the offenders feel it incumbent on themselves to defend their unconscionable attempts at being oh-so-clever and -- if they're not honorable enough to apologize for their indiscretion -- don't even have the decency or sense to drop it.
