The plight of these animals, part of the web we all share, is indeed heartbreaking and doesn't seem to end...ever.<br /><br />I also cry for all the 'domestic' animals....I have 14 cats, some geriatic, and they are all loved by me. I feed (and raid the colony when I can) 12 more, because the people there...even when I buy them food for their cats, refuse to feed or water them. I believe they sell the bags of food I give them.<br /><br />There is no justice for animals. Period. They suffer because of our ignorance.<br /><br />Domestic or wild, we should hang our heads in shame.<br /><br />Lady NyoLady Nyonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-77136514057432180372012-03-06T06:41:54.142-08:002012-03-06T06:41:54.142-08:00So sad.

The image of the lion about did me in; the descriptions of the documentary as well. <br /><br />But your poem captured your depth of feeling for all creatures in Creation. As a practicing Christian, I find it appalling that so many pseudo-Christians believe we are "anointed bosses" of the rest of creation. It was not God's intention that we wreak havoc on the earth through such activities; if one believes any of Scripture, we were meant to be stewards and treat all earth and its inhabitants with love and kindness. Thank you.

We expand and cover their lands with our concrete so that we can live in luxury having taken away their hunting grounds, their breeding places and their homes. As the highest in the food chain, sometimes I am disgusted by what we humans have done to other creatures who have as much right to inhabit this worlds as we do. I hate the way that (mostly in America) people seem to get such pleasure out of 'dressing' up their pets (dogs and cats) or, painting them in bright colours because it makes the owners laugh or pleases them. These dogs and cats are not supposed to wear clothes, no supposed to have their hair dyed or nails painted. It goes from bad to worse!<br />This story is heart breaking Sherry. The sale of this type of animals ought to be banned all over the USA and prevented from happening. I include circus acts in this too. It's all inhumane (to me) and simply to make money, nothing more.Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-13102919435113263592012-03-04T07:35:27.663-08:002012-03-04T07:35:27.663-08:00I know, Shay.

I told the unintelligent human who “loved” him “It’s your fault.” It was excruciating to watch - FIVE MONTHS INSIDE A HORSE TRAILER. F-ing hell. Their eyes – their consciousnesses – their utter sadness.<br /><br />The HUGE covered (hidden) auditoriums where thousands of snakes, in plastic Tupperware, were being given to little boys – including venomous snakes , pythons, boas, hooded vipers, you name it. And the daddies, encouraging their little guys to feel tough about owning one.....Yikes. There was a little monkey with eyes crazed with fear. THIS SHOULD ALL BE FREAKING ILLEGAL. It drives me insane, not a very long trip in this old world some days.<br /><br />DEFINITELY a lack of empathy, on a huge scale.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-49632785095090791852012-03-04T05:45:59.619-08:002012-03-04T05:45:59.619-08:00Okay, I took your warning and thank you for includ...Okay, I took your warning and thank you for including it. But i read the poem and the same sorts of things bother me tremendously. Creatures all want their lives as much as we want our own. And by "lives" mean not just breath, but the chance to do whatever it is they were born to do. Humans still far too often think of animals as property, something to do with as they please, without a thought. I don't think it is just simple cruelty...I think there is a lack of imagination and empathy at work. In any case, that stuff just breaks my heart.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.com
