Heys guys,
A few days back my dog (darwin 3year jack russell) was tragically hit by a car after slipping loose from his collar. This devastated my family and was little hope our little darwin would make it after being run over by a car.
Long story.
So 3 days back, my sister takes our dog for a walk (nothing unusual there), took him to his local park where he runs riot with out other dogs alike for atleast 2hours while my sister walks around the park keeping an eye on him. After leaving the parking/heading home, my dog somehow (not even sure if this happens) slips loose from his collar, runs head first in to a main road and was tragically hit my an on coming car.
The car didnt stop to make sure he was ok, in fact accelerated and kept going, leaving my sister to cradle our dog, a member of our family on the side of the road, both shaken and frighten not sure what do....
Darwin was rushed to our local private Vet, to access the damage and see what could be done. which infact didnt happen as our dog was "too aggressive to be mussalt", he sat there for an hour without pain meds for a member of my family to walk him and instantly calm him down and allow the vets to apply pain meds.
As you can tell, this isnt really an issue right? well.... they where charging £500 for giving our dog pain meds/food/place to sleep over night and ANOTHER £600 for an xray and treatment. If you ask me this is down right wrong and clearly exploiting peoples emotion for the love they give to there pets.
To my point: seeing as my parents couldnt afford £500 for next to no treatment at all, darwin was rushed to Putney RSPCA center via my sisters boy friend. Which they loving took care of darwin, gave him pain meds/food/place to stay/X-rays (which would of totaled to £1100 atleast) for 2days and cost us £140.
From a Active TI members point of view and a pet lovers point of view, i want to make you aware of the HARD Work the RSPCA in the UK do for pets/animals alike without exploiting peoples emotions an so on!
Im sorry to bore you with my story but this sort thing touches your heart and puts you in to perspective how much charities really do help those in a need!!
If you could spare a dollar/euro/pound please donate to the wonderful people at the RSCPA - Donate money to charity - Charity donation - Leave a RSPCA legacy
They've brought back a family member to me and i cant thank those guys enough!
