in the western world pets that are overpopulating the area are killed with gas or poison. it happens everywhere and is a thing that is supposed “to be done”.

if noone would do it much more pain would happen.

and actually… as long as we dont level our cities and move back into natural caves fighting for our lifes with sticks against wild living predators while just eating plants and mushrooms it will never really end.

we went to far. and it seems like there was no other choice. as with any other animal our instinct drives us to conquer and spread.

we use animals for alle kinds of things including food, clothes and as child-alternatives. we imprison them, breed them as we like them. even having pets is in some way cruel. because these are often creatures who depend on us and would die alone. held in captivity, forced to live our ways.

we removed them from everywhere we live, because were afraid of bears and wolves in our backyard.

we USED animals in any way possible since the dawn of time.

i guess it is in our blood. just because in modern times were not used to kill animals with our own hands anymore in the western world it doesnt that anything has changed. we just become hypocrits.

i dont blame that girl. where she lives it might be the most normal thing ever.

and if a war might fuck up our western world as we know it and hunger is torturing us even the last one who says now that he could never hurt a animal will kill a rabbit to be able to feed his kids and himself just one more day.

we really should see that in perspective. my own idea is that we shouldnt forget that we ARE animals. we are as cruel as they and as weird as animals. and yes i believe animals CAN be cruel, they arent as dumb as we often want to see them. a cat most likely knows, that that mouse is feeling pain. maybe not in a way a human can get it, but the cat knows that this is a creature. maybe that is why its so much fun for the cat.

the funny thing is that many ppl believe that animals are intelligent and can feel love as they judge it from the behaviour of their pets… but at the same time the neglect that animals can feel hate and evil. i think they can both, just as we can. at least mammels can do it.

so… whats up for us?
we should use our higher intelligence to minimize torture to animals. but i dont think we can change our nature. we will dominate animals in some way as long as we roam earth.

this is not a voucher to act heartless, but i think we really should see things as they are.
