Exactly my thoughts. And she even has no scruples to ask the Hive community to help her pay for the damage.
When I was a kid, I saw a similar accident. It was in my hometown, close to the house where we lived back then. A beautiful large dog (I think it was a Great Dane) got lost and was confusedly running around the street and unfortunately, one of the passing cars hit him. The owner of the car got out of the car only to check if there was any damage to the car and didn´t even look at the dog that was lying nearby, injured and crying in pain. The whole scene felt just so incredibly callous and inhumane. I was a little kid so to me, seeing all of this also felt quite traumatizing actually. It was decades ago but I still remember it...
You described a sad situation from your childhood. It is truly a terrible situation if a person heartlessly left an animal to die, having the opportunity to help it. You transferred the projection onto me. My situation is somewhat different. I will not justify myself to you, or prove to you that I am not a heartless person. I see my situation differently. And I am not ashamed to ask for help. It is your right to see it in a different light. Thank you again for your opinion.
