It was reported today, on CNN (online edition) that due to a severe food/meat shortage in Zimbabwe, pets are being slaughtered and eaten. Here, we live in a society that lavishes love and attention on its pets. Can you imagine being in a situation that prevents you from properly serving the basic needs of your pet? I cannot imagine not having the means to provide food for my cats. I can imagine less being so hungry that I would need to eat my them. The thought is just too macabre.... but the residents of Zimbabwe are so desperate for food that this is what it has come down to. Vendors are selling frozen dog meat from trucks by the roadside......
