And I am
reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may
remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out
for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many
saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was
being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked
away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which
we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

The whole
world celebrates the stray animal day on 16th of August; more
precisely, the whole civilized world where homeless animals have rights,
protection and their own celebration days. In countries of ex-Soviet Union
(Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, etc) however the only rights animals have are
those to be beaten to death, tortured,
abused, bullied ,taken by animal controls and slaughtered often in the most
cruel and sadistic way.
