Darlington Co. Humane Society rescues cat allegedly thrown into fire
DARLINGTON COUNTY, SC (WMBF) On Saturday, the Darlington County Humane Society Rescue posted a photo and story about a cat that was brought in to their location by her owner after being badly burned.
Her name is Elizabeth, and her owner found her after their 13-year-old neighbor threw her in a fire, according to the Darlington County Sheriff's Office. The cat suffered for six days before she was brought in, with burns covering over 90 percent of her body, the post says, adding that she still purrs and head butts, though she is incredible pain.
Darlington County Humane Society Rescue has continued to update the post, saying she is now stable and being cared for in foster care. She will continue to be treated at the vet for her injuries. To help cover the bills, they created a donation page for Elizabeth. To date, over $12,000 has been donated to the site.
You can find updates about Elizabeth's condition on the Darlington County Humane Society Rescue's Facebook page here:

(1,315 posts)But anytime I see stories of animal cruelty, my first, and admited juvenille response is to want to do to the human what they have done to an innocent creature. I then calm down and tear up for the unimaginable pain I see these creatures in.
To see them still responding, and wanting to be loved and return love even after the most atrocious abuse.. it shames all of us.

(13,466 posts)I do not care that this psychopathic creature is 13.
I think that at least the parents who brought this piece of human shit into the world should have to pay through the nose in fines for creating such a monster and letting it loose on the world. If parents had some skin in the game with what their offspring do, maybe they would actually DO SOMETHING to prevent them from committing such acts.
This "child" is VILE.

(56,912 posts)a couple of sayings about Nurses ...
1. Nurses are born with knives behind their backs.
2. Nurses eat their young.
and remember
3. Nurses are people, too.
In the medical industry I have seen all kinds of Nurses not, all of them were good.

(20,226 posts)more than that - This was about 26 years ago and he was actually a British nurse working for the same hospital in the Middle East that I worked at - at the time. I can't imagine him getting away with that back in animal-loving Britain. But I never heard anymore about him. But so I had been told from credible people - he openly bragged about enticing cats into his apartment with food - and then torturing them to death and thinking it was all a big joke. This was not some loner/loser type. This was an outgoing, gregarious party-loving type. Very strange.

(32,064 posts)maybe hoping they could mend her on their own (low income?). So sad.
And that 13-yr old needs serious help.
