(FULL VIDEO BELOW) Ensuring that no living being dies alone and without care is a fundamental aspect of compassion. The farewell she received in the parking lot was a touching gesture, and she appeared to appreciate the care and the warmth of the sunlight. It was a gentle transition for her.
Throughout my experiences, I have observed numerous animals and a few individuals experience a meaningful final day before their departure. This beautiful creature deserved such a farewell. I extend my gratitude to those who called for her and to everyone who showed her care.
Halia’s vital organs were compromised due to inadequate nutrition, resulting in severe starvation. The inhumane treatment she endured from her previous caretakers is deeply regrettable. It is evident that she was exploited for breeding purposes as well. My sincere thanks go to Donna and the veterinary staff for their efforts to save her. The dedication and compassion you demonstrate in your work are truly commendable. You provided her with a chance at life, and in my view, your work is nothing short of angelic. Words cannot fully express my gratitude, but you treated her with love, dignity, and respect—qualities we all hope to receive ourselves.
Rest in peace, Halia. The Creator has welcomed you with open arms and relieved you of your suffering. You are now at peace and free from pain. As you sit by the Creator’s side, you will recount how the compassionate individuals at Stray Rescue fought valiantly to help you, despite your exhaustion and illness. You will tell the Creator of the love, compassion, and kindness you experienced, which you had not known before.
It is with profound sadness that I acknowledge Halia’s passing. Her emaciated condition was unlike anything I have ever witnessed. Despite her suffering, she possessed a beautiful nature and was consistently amazed by the kindness shown to her. The ride in the wagon must have been a brief but meaningful experience, offering a taste of vitality and health.
Although it is sorrowful that she did not survive, she is now in a place of peace and full health. May God bless her rescuer for the loving and gentle care provided, and may the veterinary staff and those who first reached out for help be similarly blessed.
To those responsible for her abandonment, may you be taught a lesson by karma.
