WTF?

Wildfires burned thousands of acres of north Texas yesterday, wiping out whole small towns and rural areas. The local NPR station tonight interviewed one man who spoke of just loading up his family and their dog in the car and making a run for it. Then this miserable excuse for a human being said "We just took the cats and threw them out of the house to fend for themselves. They probably just got scared and ran back in, though."

WTF? You threw them out to "fend for themselves"? You took off in your car to get away, what did you expect they were going to do? Outrun the flames? There were no streams, no bodies of water even to take refuge in. What did you expect they were going to do except die horribly in fear and pain while you and your dogs ran away? Do you not even think?

People make me despair sometimes. Those poor kitties!
