Horrified


While I was taking my dog outside for a potty break, I noticed two men kicking a cat onto a busy street, I tried to get there before it got hit, but while trying to protect my dog from the traffic and get there in a panic I didnt make it. I hate to post suck horrific pictures on my blog however, I want people to see what animal abuse really looks like. It seems that while animal abuse is becoming more prominent and more vicious, in some places, by some people, it is accepted, and ok.
There is an "artist" named Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, who for the past few years has been selling Live animal abuse as art! This is a Dog, that he has chained in an art gallery and is using the starvation process as art. As you can see in the photo, there are onlookers that do not seem to be at all disturbed about this.

Here are many people just standing around like there is not a care in the world



This is the final Photo of the dog, he is dead in this picture.
There are a few reasons why I am posting about this. I rescue strays, abused, and neglected animals in my area and try to rehome them to loving homes. I am a full time college student, plus get as much work as I can, but I am not made of money I do not ask for an adoption fee just love for the babies that I adopt out. Many of my rescues undergo mild to severe abuse before I can get to them. I started this shelter when I was 18 I was living in an apartment building and the people across the hall were feeding their two cats a steady diet of beer, acid and pot smoke, those were just the drugs that I knew of. So, one say after weeks of waking up to the neibors cats crawling through my window and cuddling in my bed, I cut them a check for 200.00 for these two cats. both died of liver and kidney failure after years of ingesting these drugs. Recently I put a litter of kittens on craigs list for adoption and asked the new owners to sign contracts that at cirtain ages the cats will be fixed, that they will get their shots and if they cannot care for the kittens that they will be returned to me. I was doing my normal check up calls to see how things were going and was heartbroken to find that one of the couples whom adopted a kitten broke up and one of them fed the kitten to a snake.
Now, too all of you out there that abuse or neglect animals ... BURN IN HELL. These animals cannot speak and though I may not have much more than a few choice words to say on thier behalf. I have had pets for my entire life and in no way do they deserve to be treated so horribly! All they do is love, unconditionally. My dog will shake her tail when I look at her even if I am too busy to play fetch with her at that moment. My cats want nothing more than to cuddle and be petted.
My biggest problem with animal abuse is that it seems there is no end in sight, someone can kill a dog and get a few months probation, so there is no fear in mistreating these animals. I am not usually about the death penalty, but my stance after seeing these guys laugh as the cat died in my arms, is that they should get the electric chair. This so called "artist" should be lined up in front of a firing squad. it is a well known fact that almost all of the serial killers in the world got their practice by mutilating and killing animals.
so to anyone who has ever caused emotional or physical damage to an animal I hope you die.


The new and Improved me!

Ok, So I havent posted anything on this blog for about 4 years, things have just been insane as many can Imagine. More than that though, I am a completely different person than I was 4 years ago. I still have those days where I want to wage warfare on my entire life, but I think its in a completely different way than it used to be. I am no longer that lost little girl that I used to be. I have a better understanding of how the world, and other people work now. I dont get frustrated at men who flirt and never call again. (mostly because I dont have that problem anymore :) I am a successful student, who struggles but for the most part has goals. I have lost people that I loved more than anything, and though sometimes I am still pissed as hell that they arent here, God has granted me a view of the bigger picture.
Many people enjoyed this blog because of the intesity or anger. well, I am still a Fire Cracker, believe me, there is no one in the world that can break my spirit. However, that passion is now going to things that mean something! I learned that focusing on my pathetic existance was in no way benifitial to another person, let alone helpful to the world. believe me, plenty of things completely piss me off, high gas prices, the fact that The American Country is being run right into the ground, and the fact that there are people in the world who consider observing starving animals chained to a post of a gallery art... THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD BE LINED UP AND SHOT FIFTY THOUSAND TIMES. But now all of my rage is directed at something worth fighting for.
so if you are interested in still reading my thoughts, be my guest. I would love all of the input I can get, if you have a topic that I dont know about, tell me about it and I will state my oppinion with pride. However, I ask one thing, please try not to comment annonymously, I would like to be able to communicate. To any one that reads this blog after 4 years, thanks. It was your comment that made me want to start writing again!
