The simplicity of my day to day. |

This is where I write my thoughts, feelings and my daily trials, tribulations and happy things

| There are more and more cases of animal cruelty in the media. One today of a person flinging a cat against a wall and then posting it in social media. Thankfully, the couple were arrested. What are your feelings on animal cruelty? Cruelty in any form is totally unacceptable in my opinion, but towards innocent animals, who are at their owner’s mercy, is despicable. I often find myself watching a news item when both human and animal are involved and my feelings of sympathy are stronger for the animal. I find as I get older my feelings have changed towards the eating of other sentient creatures and wonder why we as humans feel it’s okay. I stopped eating lamb years ago after seeing sheep transported in big trucks, crammed together in stinking hot weather on long journeys from the farm to the abattoirs. I love cows for their intelligence and patience. Big brown, trusting eyes watch on as they see other members of their herd killed to feed us at the top of the food chain. It might not be classed as animal cruelty but how can it not be? I might yet be a vegetarian, I’m almost there. |
