Beautiful Oliva

"The awful wrongs and sufferings forced upon the innocent, helpless, faithful animal race, form the blackest chapter in the whole world's history." ~ Edward Freeman, English Freelance Historian and Journalist ~

Though America's animal lovers and other concerned and compassionate people prayed and hoped the brutality, horror and senseless pain of Noah's Ark events would never happen again, it did.

Once again, youthful suspects, this time from Indiana University, committed an abhorrent act of violence on four neighborhood cats in the town of Bloomington, Indiana USA July 31, 1997. After luring the four unsuspecting cats into a fenced backyard, they heartlessly poured hairspray over them and using a cigarette lighter, set them on fire. Passing motorists saw one of the cats, Olivia, managed to catch her and rushed her to an emergency veterinarian office. Of the four cats, Olivia was the most injured. She had third-degree burns over forty percent of her body and her veterinarian costs were reported to be over $15,000. Sadly on October 12, 1997 Olivia lost her courageous fight and crossed over to the Bridge.
