Heartless Drivers

Today evening on my way back Home after dinner with my loved one, the evening turned out to be rather horrid, I know many of us may have come across Cats suddenly crossing the road to reach the other side, some often die and some survive for a while until someone else does not go over them. Well i always believe in the saying "Keep your Eyes on the Road" I guess not many in Doha really do that. Well this is what happened. On my way back home, just about 400 meters from reaching the signal i had a Nissan Sunny right in front of me who knocked out a crossing cat cold, well I don't blame the driver, but i always feel accidents can be avoided with rather a little more alertness on the roads. I was behind him, i seen the cat knocked out and rolled under neath his car, and i was able to dodge right away from him in time. I chased the driver of that car and asked him why he did not slow down, and what was the hurry, the response that i got from was " So what" or in other words "who care".I know lots of cats die on Qatar roads daily, i have lost count of how many dead ones i have picked up from the streets. Angry and disturbed i went back for its rescue as i could not bear that cat being pasted on the road. I reach the other side and pleaded the passing by cars to slow down, which most of them did. The cat was conscious, bleeding from his nose, and injured (badly) since i had not much of time to do anything i picked him up and it was jumping or screaming in pain. I was worried if i let him go he would have been killed yet i managed to get a grip of him and in return he scratched and bit the hell out of me. I called Vet who i had visited recently who had an emergency number, but they could not do much as it was late and at the same time they were not willing to do anything. A passerby gentle man who was kind enough to give me assistance kept a watch as i was running back and forth to rescue the cat. I was there with it as much as i could i did not know what i could do more for it. I was willing to take it anywhere, where someone would offer help and do anything to ease its pain. But in vain. Sad and Angry i could not do much, i checked the cat and he had a dislocated rear leg, which was loose out hanging from his skin, it was in pain. I gave it water washed off the blood and the cat some how a strong one, managed to walk away with just 3 legs. I hope and pray that it survives.
I lost sight of it as it made it made its way crying in pain and i stood there helplessly see it go away.

What i want to request everyone is that, its not so hard to be careful and to save a life be it human or an animal. If you had accident don't run away,just because its an animal. Does anyone know of a EMS for Animals in Doha. At that time i just wished if i could put it to sleep.. coz the sight was hurting.

Anyway i came home and hugged my own cats and i pray that this cat survives.. if not dies in peace.

For Humans we have Hospitals & Doctors for our pain & illness, for animals its just God - The Almighty

Sorry for the long post..
