Separate pets?
Today my eye got caught by a remarkable news fact. In Belgium a family decided to spread the ashes of their kid where her favorite pets are buried. The family from Liege already buried their loved home friends, chicken and cat, at a pet cemetery in the same town.
Stéphanie and Fabien Waltergny are the first Belgians to make use of this service. They have now decided to leave the ashes of their baby who passed away in 2003 on the same grounds where their favorite pets were put to rest. The family Waltergny claims that their visits to the “columbarium” where their baby now has a small place in a wall with many other urns does not feel welcoming and rather unpleasant. They have better feelings if they can go to the park where there pets are too.
The officials have said that they will take actions if the family will execute their wish. Some people seem offended by this. Others think this a very positive action, because pets are also part of the family.
Do we need to separate our pets and are others allowed to judge on our deepest wishes? See the article in French here.
