BTW, I like how you’ve cropped the picture. I’m staying out of the controversy.

I guess because I am very active with our local humane society and deal with enough sad stories (although many ultimately have a happy ending, thanks to kind-hearted and generous souls) I don’t want to get into the middle of any activism controversy. I just want to keep on doing what I do to help where and how I can and to make my little corner of the world a better place for people and pets. And I am not going to attempt to browbeat anyone into anything and appreciate it if they show the same consideration for me. I can, however, always find time to appreciate the beautiful in life. 😀 And for me that includes Mr. Armitage and our rescue animals, including this feline menagerie that has graciously allowed us to live with them. 😉

Sounds like a great plan. I’m fairly sure no one in the fandom likes to see animals suffering (or be aware that they are).
LikeLike
I am also certain that is the case, Serv. From what I have experienced, most fans seem to have compassionate and kind hearts. Several have been very supportive of my personal efforts to improve animal welfare here. Who knows, some of them may very well have adopte or will adopt rescues that started out in my neck of the woods! Because the supply exceeds the demand , we have animals going to homes in the N ortheast, Midwest and quite a few to sunny Florida. 😀
LikeLike
I agree. I just think this needs to be put into perspective. All the animals that are suffering and the focus is now on a chimpanzee. I tend to prefer animals more than humans at times and have the biggest love of animals, but take this energy and focus on what you can within your scope.
LikeLike
I have chronic health conditions that really effect my daily allowance of energy and my ability to focus and concentrate. I have to be choosy about the causes I champion and battles I fight. So as the old Carly Simon song says, “I haven’t got time for the pain, haven’t got room for the pain . . .” Or all the drama. 😉 And yes, there are times when I look at humankind and very much prefer my furry friends’ company.

I don’t know what the controversy is and don’t have time to think about it anyway. So I am not. However, I should mention that my hubs thinks he is an ugly man. But then, my hubs thinks all dudes are gross and insists he would be a lesbian if he was a woman cause men are gross. Needless to say, I do not think that way at all. RA has gotten better with age, sort of like wine. It is totally not fair how some people look better and better. I like the wrinkles around his eyes too, but mostly the whole package is good. No criticism here. 😀

You know, I’ve actually known a few transgender folks and a couple I’ve had more interaction with have been men to women who are lesbians. I walked in on a couple in the bathroom at a party once back in the early 90s and felt really embarrassed. For the record, it wasn’t the fact that I knew the transgender person, but that they were in an intimate moment, albeit at a big party. I would have felt the same, and have w/hetero couple too. ☺️

Thank you. She is doing much better and slowly gaining back some of the weight she lost. One trip to the ER, one ultrasound and biopsy, and two days at the vet office with an IV and various other procedures adds up quickly. The thing that sucks is that we don’t know what caused all the problems. Yes, insurance is expensive, and you sound like my parents with all their cats and dogs.

Bless her heart, she has really been through it. We actually were down to two cats and one dog, and then my husband took an alternate route to work one morning and discovered a boxful of kittens of assorted ages who had been dumped on a creek bank. Some were more tame than others and it took us a while to get all eight to our house (had to borrow TNR crates). Sadly, three of them ended up passing away (vet said it was basically a failure to thrive and nothing we did or didn’t do, but I still cried like a baby) but we have the remaining five and they have all been spayed/neutered now. And a cat that was rehomed with us after his human had to go into assisted living, and who promptly knocked the screen out of a window and ran away, has returned to us after 18 months out on his own here in the country. Big ol’ sweet long-haired black kitty who is enjoying the good life again. Our Prodigal Son.

At first, I didn’t know what it was about. One can say that this incident has enlightened me, which is positive, but only superficially, which is not that positive. I don’t want to put my foot in it; I was/am too tired and busy to come of with something substantial to say, and the argumentation has to be to the point, I believe.
I feel so, so very sorry for the lonely chimp, for anything/anyone living that is mistreated. Awareness should be raised. It’s a sign of the times; we’re on the brink of a major change in terms of animal welfare: In Denmark, eggs from caged hens no longer sell, and there’s a massive movement to reduce the transporting time of animals that will end up on our dining tables. It’s a great/fantastic development.
Now to the negative part: I was thrown by the name-calling – and I still don’t know if these people are responsible or not. I’ll get there eventually; just not right now. There you have it – my very short two cents’ piece.

I think, given the fact that the person who started the discussion was willing to accelerate immediately to outrage / outrage behaviors, anyone who responds in anyway ends up looking like the loser. Saying, “hey, let’s think about this again” raises the possibility that you don’t love animals enough. And since I will probably never love animals anywhere near as much as animal rights activists (since I admit that I eat them, and nothing can possibly make up for that), there’s nothing I can say that doesn’t already put me in the doghouse (so to speak). The whole thing was annoying.

I didn’t expect a comment to my comment. Thanks anyway 🙂
You’re right. No matter what we do, we will always be labelled. “Oh, she doesn’t love animals enough”. I have a friend who lobbies for a Danish animal protection agency (a NGO working for animal welfare and safety), and she eats animals. To say she doesn’t love animals enough would be a grave misconception, but there are levels to how much one wants to ride this particular bandwagon.
’nuff said on the subject – off to new pastures 😉
