Animal abuse is becoming very common these days. We hear stories of people beating dogs for absurd reasons like not saying ABCD and even those of men raping dogs. If you ask me, this is when I truly believe that we have lost any bit of humanity.
In the latest instance, a Mumbai resident, 19-year-old Nancy Kadarikota faced a similar situation. She found five abandoned kittens behind her house and took to social media to find a loving, permanent home for them.
According to The Asain Age, she already has two big cats and keeping more wouldn’t be a feasible option. She said that few people showed interest in the kittens but later sent the kittens back. Out those who were curious, one man stood out.
A man who calls himself Kevin Dsouza (his identity isn’t yet verified), messaged her asking about the kittens. She said that the man was part of the same pet groups as she was posting on and wanted to adopt two of the strays from her.
She asked him if he would come to Ghatkopar to pick the kittens up but he refused so she asked him his address.
However, it turned out that the man’s disturbing and dark reasons to help the kittens came out. Kevin turned out to be more sinister than Nancy thought when he finally revealed his true intentions.
Yes, when Nancy asked for assurance that she won’t have to take them back he said don’t worry I’ll kill them because me and my neighbour like to eat cat meat.
Horrified by the incident Nancy put the screenshots of the chat online but got blocked by Kevin instead.
Just look at their innocent faces, how is “I’m hungry” the first thing you think of when you see them.
The post has netizens shocked. But some still stand divided about the authenticity of his profile. However, I believe that even if it is a joke from a fake profile, it’s still sick. People have also reported his profile on Facebook.
This twisted mindset of people and their ominous thoughts are very disturbing. I think we as humans have lost every ounce of magnanimity, sympathy and consideration for anyone else.
