Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who can see clearly, reality is so clear to me. So many people seem so oblivious, oblivious to their own self. Someone who has a negative impact to another persons life by insulting them for no apparent reason, brining them down to the point of suicidal thoughts or even attempts, refuse to believe they have been a horrible human being, they are in fact a nice person through their own eyes. Another example, killing an animal for meat, well that’s not wrong is it? but yes it is. People strip them from their rights, prison them, kill their babies and forget they have feelings too. They feel pain, they feel emotions but still people take advantage of their vulnerability. Animal testing, they torture innocent animals to the point where they may become blind, burnt etc all the while suffering for long periods of time. In some countries they skin animals alive for their fur but that’s ok because as long as we get nice fur coats who gives a shit about the animals who suffered. It’s sick and wrong but most people don’t seem to care. Are they blind? can they not put themselves in their shoes? but whatever because people will always tell me I’m the one in the wrong, I believe in equal rights. The queen is not above me, I am not above the queen, she is more fortunate than me but everyone’s worth should be equal including animals. People don’t agree with what im saying though and forever I will call those people heartless, oblivious, careless and wrong.

I posted in response to you a bit ago, but it got deleted or something! I feel so strongly about the animals, too, Nikki. I’ve been vegan for three years, and sometimes it’s the only thing that gives me strength: knowing that I’m not participating in everything you wrote about today. What happens in factory farms and slaughterhouses is beyond words. I had a panic attack the other day at work because of a casual discussion my co-workers had about the turkeys and pigs they were planning to eat for Thanksgiving, never pausing for a second to consider WHO these little creatures were and WHAT they went through before becoming hunks of charred corpse on their plates. This world is a horrible place for animals, too, and I feel that since we have the power to help them, we should. Thank you for caring.
Thank you! I’m so glad you feel that way too 🙂 I have been thinking of ways to help animals like going off to help baby orangutans who’s mothers were killed etc. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years and yesterday my dad accidently gave me lamb for dinner thinking it was quorn because it was a meal he had frozen down and I had a taste of it and it didn’t taste right, I told my dad to try some to see if it was meat and he said ‘yh, that’s lamb’ and my heart just sank and I started burning up, I could feel myself going really red and I just burst into tears, it made me feel so sick. It’s great you are a vegan, I have chickens at home so they have free range eggs so I don’t have a problem eating them because I know the animals wearn’t harmed. You have made me feel more positive about helping animals, I think that’s going to be my goal in life! 🙂
that’s why i have six cats that live with me in the house nobody is going to skin my babies!
Hey Nikkix,
I think that sounds amazing. Funny story…Rocketman you old cat lover you…close your eyes eh? I just came out of the ravine a short while ago. The old man and I were having a smoke down at the creek…suddenly a cottontail rabbit runs across on the other side of the creek…like a bat out of hell…startled the poor old fella…choked on his smoke. He says…what is wrong with that rabbit? I point further up the creek where a cat is stalking it…watch I told the old guy…see what the rabbit is doing…can you see his little old heart beating from here? And watch the cat…well the cat stalked that bunny for a good 20 minutes…circling closer and the two of us old fools stood there and waited for the train wreck…lol I says to the old guy…ever hear a rabbit scream? Nope he says. It is a terrible sound I said…and that cat belongs to so and so…it is not hunting to eat…so you won’t hear it today either. Then I picked up a good sized rock from my rock pile…took aim…and winged the damn cat…hahaha So today…I saved a bunny….awwwww
I really like your idea…maybe you will…maybe you won’t…but definitely look into it…and you don’t have to do what you love as a job…but it helps. Good luck. Nice to see someone excited about something around here for a change.
Peace
Ama
Nikki, I’m sorry about the lamb. I can’t imagine what that was like! Meat turns my stomach and just looking at it makes me sad. I went to an awards ceremony with a friend a year ago, and we requested vegan food, which they claimed to have made us, but it had cheese in it. It really grossed me out and made me sad. I don’t have a problem with you eating your chickens’ eggs either–no ethical breech there if you love your chickys and will care for them forever (but I’d be careful, because an egg is a cholesterol bomb and isn’t healthy for you, so I’d definitely suggest moderation). At a lot of the farm sanctuaries, they cook the chickens’ eggs and feed them back to them–they love them! I think your idea about helping orangutans is great! NOTHING eases my depression and anxiety like volunteering, especially for the animals. They are the most victimized living creatures on the planet, and their plight has always moved more deeply than any other problem on the planet. Sometimes when I’m suicidal/depressed, knowing that they need every compassionate person on this planet on their side stops me from hurting myself. They need you! Always remember, too, that just by being vegetarian, you are doing so much already. Glad to meet another person on here who cares about the non-humans. You completely made my whole week. (P.S. I think all humans have the capacity to care and show mercy…they’re just afraid to and/or don’t know how.)
