On May 28, around 5pm in Fourteenth Avenue outside the Northmead Square, someone ran over a very small kitten and left it writhing in agony in the road.
Needless to say nobody did anything.
I stopped, wrapped the animal (that was screaming in agony) in a towel and made a dash for the vet.
I put on my hazards and sat on my hooter.
It was obvious (to anyone with two brain cells, which excludes the majority of people on the road) that I was having some kind of emergency.
The good citizens of Benoni hogged their positions in the traffic and hooted and shouted at me when I tried to “jump the queue”.
Three cars gave way- two were taxis and one man in an old brown car.
Yes, it was “just a cat” but you did not know that, and I could have had a child or baby in my car who was in distress.
To all of you selfish people, I am sure you are glad you got home three minutes earlier … yes, the cat died!
To the person who just left the cat in the road and all those who refused to give me a gap when it was so obvious that there was a problem, I hope you all die a painful death in agony on the side of the road one day waiting for help.
Don’t bother to write and tell me how terrible I am …. I don’t actually care.
PS And don’t be so quick to judge the taxi drivers.
Seems they understand an emergency and have some compassion, which is more than the rest of you.
