Compassion and perspective

 

Rebecca's heart goes out to a lonely kitty

On one of our tours around Saint-Louise known to locals as Ndar we came across a kitten just sitting all by itself in the road. Rebecca immediately wanted to jump down and take it to safety. The driver and the guide both pushed it away with their foot. I could tell Rebecca didn't like that kind of treatment at all. One of them took the kitten by the nap of it's neck with barely two fingers and set it to the side. It was back in the road in a minute. He took it again and set it further back - but only to make Rebecca happy. He explained that it isn't healthy to touch stray animals because that is where Ebola comes from.

He dosed his hands in sanitizer.
