The kittens seemed to be recovering, yesterday. This morning they don't. The one who had seemed like Serena-all-over-again died during the night. The other two seem sicker.
The one I didn't try to help didn't live, either.
Serena has been through this before. More than once. She knows the drill. But she loved these kittens; when we thought they were going to live, yesterday, she trembled all over.
We need a ban on spraying any chemical outdoors. There may be a chemical somewhere that will kill only the things some people are too lazy to kill for themselves, without harming other people's pets or their gardens or themselves, but it's not been found. What has been confirmed is that the chemical companies are irresponsible and fail to stop marketing chemicals that harm human beings, not to mention their pets and their gardens.
ETA: I wondered why the kittens had lost so much ground overnight. Had it been too soon for them to eat? Maybe. Were they riddled with internal parasites? Possibly. Then I stepped outside and did not smell, but felt, more glyphosate vapors in the air. It's expected to rain again today but the Bad Neighbor was up here, early, making sure nobody had a chance to enjoy the fresh air after yesterday's rain.
This is so sad. I will never understand why corporations get away with not being regulated, or not having to clean up the messes they make. Terrible to lose those sweet little kittens because of toxins. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherry (belatedly). I know why this administration is failing to hold the corporations to promises they made during the Trump years. M-O-N-E-Y, that's why. The corporations buy up pollies and, by way of insurance, censor the Internet and gaslight and distract the people.
