The Mousetrap continued...

Know what?~~~~Yesterday's tirade about how I feel about this current weird-o administration, (except Colin Powell) , the very scary, very dangerous Attorney General, and the really scary influence the far rightwing religious extremists have on the non-elected president-------well, I spent a lot of time last night thinking about it and it bothered me so much I just have to change it. The nasty rant-blog, I mean.

In no way would I ever demean the ordinary persons who have their faith and their chosen church. The wackos I refer to have too much say in national affairs like, oh, the money being cut off to the U.N. that was promised for helping those poor, uneducated women in Africa, et al, to learn something about contraception and family planning. Dubya promised that $34 million last February but these wackos were responsible for the flip-flop. It would appear the Shrub has forgotten the millions of other Americans who feel it would have been money well spent.

Instead, I think I will concentrate on the never-ending stories of animal abuse. There is nothing that can be done to stop the torture and cruelty to animals because there will always be the mentally challenged morons who don't consider animals as something that bleeds, feels pain and has a range of emotions.

In late May, investigators found the bodies of more than 2,000 greyhounds on the 18-acre farm of an Alabama man, who admitted to killing them for profit. The dogs came from Florida greyhound tracks. To recognize the suffering of these canine victims, and all of the tens of thousands of greyhounds annually killed in the racing industry, GREY2K USA and the Greyhound Protection League are sponsoring a National Memorial Day for greyhounds this Saturday, July 27. Animal advocates in more than two dozen U.S. cities will join together on this day. (From the latest ASPCA newsletter)

Good example of people caring. How do we get rid of dog racing? Who knows? It's not as popular as it used to be, two tracks have closed in Wisconsin, but it still goes on, but that's an economic thing, not because anyone cares about the dogs. I detest, loathe and hate greyhound racing. Thoroughbred racing is a close second in the horror of what happens to horses who "don't make it" in the racing biz. Exploitation of animals, it will never end.

Midas has an ad showing a man "juggling" three cats. Of course it is somehow computer animated, but rinky-dink kids don't know that.........wanna bet some nitwit kids would try it -- with real cats? The people at my forum discussions are emailing Midas.com and venting their outrage. If you go to the site, you'll be directed to a form letter addressed to their marketing dept. Nothing will come of it. I have not seen the ad, but I complained anyway, pointing out that many people who have seen it told me about the ad.

Anyone see the article about the barbecued kitten? (Excuse me, gotta get my emotions under control here) Some knuckle-walker male put a small kitten on his barbecue grill and turned it around and around. A group of his ape friends stood around and watched. Finally a neighbor came by and grabbed the kitten, took it to a vet (it was still alive) but in the end, it died. The veterinarian said it had inhaled too much smoke. There is no way I can understand this kind of retarded thinking.................

Want to hear some tidbits about what goes on in a slaughter house? Next time. *exits to ominous music*
