Di! Ecce hora!

pets... freaking ass weird behaviors for humans to undertake. we here in the US spend billions of dollars each year to provide the most pampered life possible for a variety of species, a life so unique and special that nothing like it exists anywhere else in nature.
pets represent a revolutionary step in creating an evolutionary niche for some species. rather than being forced to life lives as their cousins in relation to all other aspects of GAIA, pets unlike humans even have no need whatsoever to experience the challenges of living for survival and reproduction. i was watching buzzards the other day, and ravens too. young yearling vultures look quite stunning. they retain all of their plumage and are clean and quite pleasant looking creatures. likewise young ravens are carefree and happy and without flaws. no so for those even just the slightest bit older. they are thrashed. both species lose many feathers, have scars and injuries, are dirty and unkept. it is the nature of being alive.

even the most careless and abusive human pet owner still takes better care of their animals than does the viable relationships of the natural setting. the "abuse" that is enforced on these people comes in the form usually of malnourishment and or encagement or some such. wow.. imagine how many millions of species across the planet suffer from malnourishment due to the impact of human toxification of environments. if we are talking about dogs and cats, imagine coyotes and wolves, lynx and panthers. starving to death due to loss of habitat and loss of food resources. this disconnect, punishing people for withholding grace and disproportional amenities and not punishing people for destroying and polluting.

where in the wildest stretch of the imagination does the US populace comprehend their complicity in encouraging themselves to take better care of their pets than their kids. pets most often get the food of their choices while kids, no matter how wealthy must suffer some negative feedback each day. pets are given options that are blissful in comparison to the options we give our kids. that just doesn't make sense. but we do it.. we encourage it, we celebrate it.

pets are these creatures that receive the blessings of pure supplication.. they are in so many ways the gods and goddesses within the temples of our daily behaviors. we give to them homage and love and precious resources .. and what do we get in return???? nothing, like war, absolutely nothing
