Thank you incredibly much for shining light on animal vivisection. I don't gather that many people give it much thought because 1) they think human animals are above non-humans, hence their lives are more expendable and the taking of their lives worth the cause; 2) most people have NO idea what goes on behind laboratory walls. None at all. There are millions being made by animal breeders who sell their animals to "scientists" for some kind of noble testing. This shit gives me nightmares. It's almost too much to think about. I believe that this disregard for non-human animals will easily be directed towards humans as well. We have no idea what's coming. Anyway, it's a hard topic, I would guess, to write about; certainly it's a difficult one to read about...but we must. We can't heal what we don't acknowledge. A quote by Gandhi comes to mind: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. That doesn't say much for our (or most other) nation, does it? Again, thank you.
Lily Collins *was groomed by her mother, all the men involved in creating and viewing her content, and wider society* to have sex with 100 men in 24 hours for her online subscribers.
How hideous that so many women and girls are taught that their sole of main value is sexual availability for and compliance to repulsive men.
Re our treatment of animals: firstly, good on you for collaborating with the organisation you spoke of. It hurt my heart terribly to read the examples of suffering. Those of us who care about and want to make a difference, have great spiritual reward for this, but also excessive tiredness and sometimes deep sadness. I foster cats and kittens for rehoming, and a number have been abandoned, mistreated, or ‘simply’ not allowed to be their little selves, with owners then ridding themselves of a situation they created. I must admit it has worn me down in recent weeks, especially after a foster who was particularly frightened and took many hours of my and my partner’s time to gain trust. (Thankfully he is with a patient and loving family now.)
All to say, thank you for a post that in a roundabout way, reminded me at a key time why it’s important to keep going. Thanks for reading.
