Sad reality of nature.
Bear baiting, it isn’t a sport. It’s animal cruelty. Humans play sports because they want to but the bears play this sport because they are forced to.

I was browsing EddieWong’s blog minutes ago whilst having toast and kopi-O for breakfast and saw this post of his, about rabbit being crushed and so I did a little more research. This is what i found…The story. I didn’t watch the video because i don’t want to and i don’t think i can. I don’t even know the words to describe how i feel. Can the world get anymore sicker? Crush fetish? If someone really has a fetish for crushing, it’s alright crushing stuffed toys, fruits or things that are not alive but live rabbits? How can anyone even bring themselves to do that? It is pure torture.
Have you ever wondered how do birds fall asleep if they have to remain conscious to grip onto the branch that they are resting on.
I like this image a lot. It’s simple, almost colourless and has a certain mystical feel to it.

The annual massacre is starting soon, all because you and your family watch dolphin shows at theme parks. This is how the dolphins for the shows are obtained. As for the ones that don’t get selected…
I thought about this many, many years ago. Something doesn’t feel right about dolphin shows or any sort of animal shows. Quote Ric O’Barry “You have to see dolphins in the wild to understand why captivity doesn’t work”. Dolphins are mammals that swim the ocean, but are captured, confined within a tiny space and made to perform tricks to amuse lame people like you and your children. People who have nothing better to do on their holidays and have to resort to watching dolphins jump up from and back down into the water. Watching these shows means you are actually playing a part in the mistreatment of these animals. Not knowing how to swim, I will never be able to realize a wish to have physical contact with a dolphin but I refuse to attend a dolphin show just to be near a dolphin.
There may be accusations and controversy surrounding the parties involved. But does that matter? The fact is the dolphins’ blood is spilling. That is all that matters. That is all I care about.
It’s sad and just not right that the puppies in petshops are left in the containers after trading hours, all night long. What if a fire broke out. These are living things, not a product. How about leaving babies in boxes at childcare overnight.

A person’s true nature is judged from how he or she treats an animal.

A puppy’s ears and tail were cut off with scissors in an act of cruelty so sickening it left welfare workers in tears.
Buckley, an eight-week-old border collie cross staffordshire bull terrier, was found abandoned in a school yard on Saturday, July 11, and taken to a veterinarian in Sydenham, in Melbourne’s northwest, the Moonee Valley Leader reports.
Lost Dogs’ Home manager Sue Conroy, who is looking after Buckley, said it was one of the worst cases of animal cruelty she had seen in 23 years. “I’ve had staff crying,” she said. “The puppy would have received no anesthetic and would have made a lot of noise. “He would have been in unspeakable agony”
Ms Conroy said staff had treated his wounds with ointments and administered pain relief and antibiotics. She said the puppy “was not ready to be adopted just yet”. His hearing will not be perfect, but he’s not deaf. But mentally, he’s is still traumatised and is hiding from people.”
There is nothing the puppy could have done to deserve this. The man who committed this doesn’t deserve a to be jailed or fined. He deserves to have his ears hacked off too, just so that he knows how it would have felt.
