Poverty

Poverty is an evil thing. We watched the news on one of the Swedish TV channels tonight, TV 4, and they told a story about people in America who have been impoverished in the latest world wide crisis and have left their pet dogs and cats to animal shelters. The stated reasons are that they cannot pay the rent, their own food and food for the animals as well. I cannot understand how people let it go that far. If you have no economic margins, why do you buy a cat or a dog in the first place?

What do these people do with their children? A dog is as much a family member as a child, so if they leave their dogs to shelters, do they leave their children to orphanages as well? Nobody said anything about that on TV.

The world economy is growing again, people say. Hopefully, therefore, we will not see more of these evil stories.
