She either learns responsibility, or she will be removed from society. And penal institutions are karmically proactive.When you are done wrong you have the responsibility to deal with it. Not some character up in the sky, or some sort of reciprocity, you. You don't take action to end the abuse you become party to it, an accessory to the fact. By refusing to take action you become as guilty as the original perpetrator.How you treat people who have, at the worst, done you no harm is one thing. But when somebody does harm to you and yours, that is another. When someone hurts you, you stop them, and you use whatever means necessary. No one has the right to harm someone who is not harming them. Vraille is not harming the woman, but by her neglect of the cat she is causing harm to Vraille. At present her behavior cannot be addressed directly, but the cat can be removed from its current environment. Hopefully to be put in a caring home, but if that is not possible and the animal cannot be rehabilitated, put to death because it cannot fit into a human world.This can be a hard world and sometimes you have to do hard things. There's no way around it. By refusing to do what's necessary because it might rebound on you, you make the situation much worse. It's what's adult responsibility is all about. A woman refuses to be responsible, and so lives around her are degraded and small lives are ended. It is time she learned her behavior will not be tolerated. So long as you live as part of a society you will live by the rules, or you won't be a part of society. That is one of the hard things you learn to do when you become an adult.Oh, and Umbran, there are those who are called white trash, and those who are white trash. There are those who work hard to get out of the gutter, and those who like it there. Help the former as much as you are able, but let the latter be. For they are a touchy people and their resentment will taint all around them. You can't help everybody. You try to raise all out of the muck you wind up raising none. Reserve your efforts for those who will accept the help, and let the rest be. You do better when you treat each as an individual, instead of as a unit in a faceless mass.</blockquote>
