These people have the purest hearts, These poor poor creatures,who depend on us for their welfare cannot even complain about their wretched state. May Allah reward these souls for helping these tiny creatures of God to the best of their ability. People don't realize, no matter what religion you follow, kindness to animals should never be overlooked.
