[Animals] Animals that are victims of depression and loneliness

[#Wittels-]

Many of the cats and dogs abandoned in shelters live wounded with sadness

I do not know if it comes in the books, or if much or little has been written about it, I just know that it exists. I have seen it in many people who, little by little, it has consumed the pain. Their faces weren't lying. Sadness, by dint of feeling alone, had taken hold of them and had turned off their light.

However, it is not an exclusively human ailment. Animals suffer from it too. In shelters or these shelters it is seen very clearly because they are like large hospitals in which, directly or indirectly, people and animals are rehabilitated.

The first, humans, recompose their consciences in them. They wash their minds and leave with the idea that they did everything possible for those dogs or cats that they abandon in them. They discharge their guilt with a simple signature of resignation on the animal on a paper or written form. It's his way of saying goodbye.

 

However, for animals everything is much more difficult. It is true that in the shelters there are also feral cats and stray dogs that never had an owner. They face their stays there, with the clear idea of escaping. For them there are no walls or fences that prevent them from dreaming of freedom.

However, most are house dogs and cats, made of pure love, who did have human families with whom they lived before entering a shelter. They lived with people to whom they gave a lot for nothing and paid for their delivery with abandon. They are animals that come to their cages wounded with sadness. It is impossible for them to separate memories from grief. That is why there are so many cats in these centers hiding in their bedrooms under blankets or towels and dogs that are curled up in the corners of their cages. It is his way of crying. Make no mistake about it, they too are victims of depression and loneliness.
