1 /5 Lara: The monastery is absolutely gorgeous but when I briefly stopped by there to do my prayers and walk around the territory, a lot of stray kitties came over to my car, some of them looking horribly malnourished, with signs of viruses and conjuctivitus, some are limping. With all Gods love for our humanity, these animals shouldnt be running around and kept in the monastery, out in the open, where no one can assist them. They should be living inside a closed and gated community, ideally in a no-kill shelter or with good humanely-oriented people. I tried to bring those kitties to the vet but both the nons and the Holy Priest were against this. Of course both local police and the Humane Society were notified to come and take action. But I simply cannot understand why these Godly people behave so horribly and neglecting their own well-being in all those lovely rescue animals. All they have to do is to lift up the phone and call the animal rescue crew, they would come in a heartbeat and assist.
