The hunting season ended but still the madness continues for Kimba
We all knew the hunting season had ended, we and all other volunteers, but our hopefull hearts wished this year would be better than the last one. But it was a big mistake to think it was going to be better, because nearly everything changes but the mentality of the hunter. Those who claim to give these dogs “a good life”, meaning keeping them fed, making them run and sometimes giving them somewhere to sleep, but only as long as they are usefull.
During the year we try to keep the shelter unoccupied as much as possible so the dogs do not find it too stressful to share their little space and food when other dogs arrive. But in less than a week after the hunting season ended, the shelter had become all that what we did not want. An overcrowded place full of nervous energy, weariness and fights and above all so much sadness, with so many dogs that need to recover from the pain in their bodies and the fear in their eyes.
And even now, weeks after the hunting season has ended, this madness still continues.
But in spite of all this, we keep on working until the day that society will understand their horrible suffering.
