People are accusing an anonymous opposite the editorial page (op-ed) writer of animal abuse and even urging police to take action. A woman’s article depicting how she has neglected her pet cat after welcoming her baby went viral. The controversial op-ed sparked outrage and reactions from experts who said she should’ve undergone therapy.
“I don’t know many pet-having persons for whom the introduction of a baby didn’t cause a plummeting of interest in the legacy mammal,” the anonymous writer introduced the topic of postpartum stress combined with caring for an animal.
The exasperated mother explained in her now-infamous op-ed published on The Cut on Monday (August 12) that she first adopted her cat, Lucky, a decade ago when she was a “lonely 24-year-old who craved on-demand love from an adorable creature.”
