last straw
okies, there's rabies in the area, not a good thing, yes? well, duh... but still, it was either due to a lack of Cogin's test on an incoming animal, or a maurading raccon with a hydrophobic-complex... either way, it's irreversable, it's bad news, and the only thing that comes outta it is an animal's head in a box sent to north carolina state universitie's laboratories... please, this is so easy to prevent, don't get slack people, these last few years have seen an upsurge in the number of animals diagnosed with rabies... just because it hasn't happened near you, doesn't mean it can't... please, please innoculate your pets aginst whatever you can, it's the same as getting your kids their shots when they're little, prehaps even more important... we are not here to own pets, we are here to protect them, we are not overlords, we are caretakers, and that is an honor and a priviledge often shirked and misconstrued by humans... i am not saying that that is our only purpose here, i am only saying that in a world when we have domesticated and purpose bred so many things, that we should feel blessed and that we have been given a gift to be able to simply care for the creatures placed in our charge... a person would not think twice about caring correctly for a child, or at least, if they were caught out in a situation harmful to the child, then they are punished, and punished properly and for an appropriate length of time, or at least they are punished... i cannot tell you how many times i have heard of an animal abuser, a frequent animal abuser, set free with nothing more then probation... a criminal offence? sure, but only punished severly if they can tie something else into it... consider this:
~ a scarred dog named Fern, a sweet animal, but afraid of anyone but three people, because when she was a puppy, some drunk bastard chained her outside and set her on fire
~a huge dog named Jet, one of the most friendly animals, but reduced to a cowering puppy when ever anyone raised a their hand around her, even if just to scratch because when she was a puppy, she was beaten with a hose
~kittens left in a birdcage on someone's front proch until they died of hunger
~three horses starved and malnurished for years, a normal horse weighs in at about 900 pounds, these were only about 500 pounds each, days from death and two of them not expected to survive
~ a preganant nanny goat, painted blue, gagged, hog-tied and stuffed in a trash can, then abandoned on a high school roof until it was found on that friday morning... and for what? a prank...
~the owner of a puppy mill arrested for failing to dispose of the carcasses of 100 animals, and failure to vaccinate aginst rabies, she faces 100 level 2 misdemeanors for failure to dispose of the bodies and 23 counts of animal cruelty... (this one, at least i was able to find a substantial punishment for, she could be facing 6 months in jail for each misdemenor) the mill was for great danes and mastiffs, one of which weighed 55 pounds, which is about 80 pounds underweight, and it was still being used to produce puppies for profit, and another was 70 pounds (nomal wieght for a mastiff is about 170-180 pounds), covered in burn wounds and apparently had been eating sand and dirt to stay alive... it also had, i quote the vet on this "enough hook worm to kill a cow"
~two men who work for an animal rescue service, accused of kicking and beating a sick puppy, and then burying it alive
~ a cow mutulation used to get revenge on being evicted from an appartment, apprently these sickos found a cow nearby, decided to chop off it's head and then leave it in their former abode, to, i can only assume, punish the landlord
~another drunken asshole, picking up a three month old boxer puppy named Uncle Sam who accidently piddled on the floor and throwing it aginst a wall, the pup recieved cracked ribs, internal bleeding, a broken leg and swelling around the brain, though it's expected to live
~and something else i only recently found out about, apparently it's call "hoarding" and it means one bastard kept upwards of eighty cats locked in his house... they had to be put to sleep
the first two dogs were lucky, these dogs were found, and adopted by people who loved them until their dying days... but not every animal is as lucky... one of the few ways to fill me with rage enough to actaully lash out at someone is to abuse an innocent creature, and gods help the person who is foolish enough to abuse an animal around me... i would feel absolutly no remorse for whatever happens to that person, whether they get their justice from me, or from other sources... but you know what is the funniest, sickest irony here? i would be punished more for hurting the abuser, then the abuseing asshole would for killing the animal... i would never presume put a price on anything's life, human or otherwise, but i do put a price on the innocence of something helpless, i do put a price on the frailty of human nature in assuming that only our own kind should be protected by law and court... i have said that i have "children", people that i affectionatly "claim" as my own, but i know that if they were ever harmed, they would be protected by our society, i cannot be so certian of the fates of those creatures who look upon us with liquid eyes, who love us no matter what we do to them, and who are so often cruely betrayed by the beings they are dependent upon for their lives...
it makes me sick
(want to know more about animal cruelty? my source for a few of the cases listed above was the site http://www.pet-abuse.com/database/ ... all of these cases were from North Carolina alone i wouldn't eat before i browsed it, there are some really fucking sick freaks out there)
