Better animal welfare laws needed for cats

Editor:
Some days I question the nature of  rescue and why we seem to be the refuge for cats that have survived abuse, neglect and have been discarded as though their lives have no value. Their little bodies are malnourished or riddled with disease.
They are deserving of love. All cats deserve love and validation. The lack of compassion that resides in a staggering percentage of humankind begs the use of the term itself.
Human has no concept of ‘humane’ and ‘kind’ is lacking along with it.
Let all the little cats lost, ones we have tried to help, remain to be a testament to the need for change to our animal welfare laws and lack thereof.
There are hundreds out there in Lethbridge alone that will continue to suffer due to nobody helping them. This has to change.
