I very much agree with you about humanity. There's no excuse for leaving beings that can't take care of themselves to starve to death. That's just wrong.

I agree. I can think of NO possible excuse for doing that. Your loan defaulted? Your car got repoed? I don't care. FIND YOUR DOG ANOTHER HOME, for God's sake.

That's funny, I just got an email from Peta about all the cruelty animals in the meat industry face. I'm not sure how people can do things like this.

The meat industry is HORRIBLE. Somebody was telling me that if everybody ate at least one meat-free meal each day, we could cut down on a lot of pollution and animal abuse. Don't quote me on that, but it makes sense.

Yes, I know. Meat.org has a video that really exposes just how horrible things are for cows, chickens, pigs, etc. Are you vegetarian or thinking of becoming one?

I used to be a vegetarian, but there were several problems with it for me. First and foremost was what it did to my appetite and energy levels. I wasn't getting enough protein and felt horrible. Also, my mom doesn't cook vegetarian, so I'd have to sit out on family meals... : (

I think it's absolutely horrible that people would do this. I even found out recently that a family I met a few years ago had actually done this, too. The dogs and cats were found just in time and have new homes now, but I no longer have any respect for that family.

I know. Anybody who I see being cruel to animals is automatically on my "keep away from" list. It's one of the things I despise most.

I lost my faith in humanity a long, LONG time ago. You should read my last two blog posts. I rant about this kind of thing all the time. Alas, I do not have a really good comfort method to advise; I just try not to think about these things--if I get really furious about something, I write about, so I think we're already on the same page. You could also try volunteering at your local animal shelter--I did that when I was in college. It was sad, but also gratifying.

Oh, and that last post was Camilleon, your cousin.
