this answer on a “what’s the most embarrassing thing you did as a kid” reddit thread has been haunting me since i read it
Can we go back to the vivid imagery of some 14 year old girl blasting ass next to this kid and him being so confused that HE apologizes and nyooms his ass out of there in shame???????
I am a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I live on campus and I usually really like it. Lately, though, there have been kittens hanging around. They are friendly and sweet and obviously very hungry. So I’ve been trying to look after them (in order to eventually catch them and give them up for adoption. They are friendly and sweet and tame).
I recently got written up for doing so.
I was told not to worry, though, because it was being taken care of. I was referred to an email that had been sent out by the Community Directors.
Because the kittens don’t have any reliable source of food or shelter from the elements, I remained concerned. So, I reached out.
THIS was the response I got:
Note how it isn’t even from the person we were TOLD to contact. Note how they say they don’t want the population to grow, but also say they don’t participate in TNR (the best way short of mass euthanasia to curb population growth). Note how they refer to a domestic species population created by human negligence as a nuisance to be passively discouraged.
If something isn’t done these cats will die. And I’m being told not to worry my pretty little head about it.
Spread this like wildfire, dears, for the sake of the small and helpless.
