not all animals are alike.
The mice don't seem very compassionate to the new mice when they arrive.
They'll push out a sick mouse rather than help it by bringing it food.
Killer whales toss the young seals up in the air and bat them around in front of their mothers .. then they eat them alive as she watches.
"Nature is cruel but not evil" and considering that Nature is all we have to teach us,
The fact that humans have developed compassion for themselves and for animals
I think that sets us apart from them.
I have a very sweet dog. She is almost 5 now and very smart!
I watch her try to take the food and drink from my other dog who is old.
The old dog is even sweeter, she has not got one mean bone!
I see the young dog stepping on her, like she isn't there and
try to steal food from her dish even as she is consuming it!
If it were not for me the old dog would go hungry!
Not all dogs are like this.
I have had a group, a family to observe.
When we use our minds to make things better ONLY THEN we are living up to our potential.
Northfork's painting, the gold bracelet hanging from the hand with the "happy pills" ..
The forest underneath has all the chemicals the man needs but holding the severed arm of an animal he shows his fatal flaw.
Rather than take responsibility to go harvest the herbs himself, he'd rather slaughter innocent beasts and by paying this
pimp to do what he should be doing himself, FOR HIMSELF, he is "feeding the foot that stands on all our throats"
live by your heart, vote with your wallet!
I'm not going to pay some fucker to keep me alive and be a :mouseinwheel: cranking out pellets to feed the foot that is choking all the pleasure out of my life!
The only thing I HAVE TO DO is die!
then bury me face down so the world can kiss my ass!
I'm too old to waste my time or even my thoughts on things that do nothing to make things better.
I'm the kind they better watch out for .. those who want to retain control of others.
If they kill me, they free me.
