I was never really an animal lover until I started dating my girlfriend, who is a huge lover of anything that is furry and breathes. At home, we are the parents to two cats and a dog, and I've come to adore these pets. Because of my new found love for animals, I need to share this amazing story with you, which pissed me off at first, but ended with a smile.
You see, a yellow Labrador from Iowa named Reagan saved the lives of two kittens that were left to die in a Meow Mix bag on the side of a road in Des Moines, Iowa. Reagan came across the bag on a country road near her home, dragged the bag to the front of her house, and waited for her owner to come home. Her owner, who shall remain nameless, said that she's used to Reagan bringing home "treasures"; so at first, she thought nothing of the bag and headed inside. Reagan wouldn't follow her inside and was visibly upset about what was in the tattered bag of trash lying in the yard. When the owner finally walked over to look in the bag, she was horrified at what Reagan had discovered. It was two tiny kittens screaming and covered in blood and guts from their crushed and maimed siblings. The kittens were thrashing around the bag trying to get free from the decimated carcasses.
Originally, there were four kittens stuffed in the Meow Mix bag that was left on the side of the country road. As cars would drive by, they would run over the bag clueless as to what was in it. It's absolutely amazing that any of the kittens survived. After the gruesome discovery, the owner spent the rest of the night cleaning the kittens up, keeping them warm, and feeding them. The next day, she called a few animal rescues and shelters to explain to them what happened, but five of them turned the kittens away. Unbelievable! Finally, the kittens were accepted by Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary and Rescue.
According to the Sanctuary, both kittens, now named Skipper and Tipper, are in great condition, have since been neutered, and are seeking a new home. They also said that since the news of the kittens leaked, they've been inundated with applications for them, but they don't want people to adopt on emotionally based decisions, and that they want to make sure that the kittens aren't put back into a neglect situation. Due to the nature of how these kittens were found, there will be a thorough interview process for their adoption and rightly so.
So, now for my take on this! Whomever it was that left these kittens to die on the side of the road, there is no death to good for you. In fact, I hope that someone finds you, ties you up, then wraps you up in a bunch of garbage bags, and leaves you on the side of the road to be run over by cars passing by. That would be justice for the two kittens that you killed you piece of crap! As for Reagan, the yellow lab and her owner, what a bunch of heroes they are! They should be rewarded in some way for their actions and I think the world should know about what they did. As for the animal rescues that turned these poor kittens down, shame on you!
