Animal Cruelty

Cruelty toward animals is something I have never understood. I don't know how someone can beat a defenseless animal to death or leave them severely injured. Pet Rescue Report website reports some of the worst cases I have ever seen and I can barely read about them. Photos tell more than 1000 words. They are horrific to look at. Humans are the only ones capable of this amount of cruelty.

What's the excuse of leaving a horse in a ditch with a broken back or stuffing a dog in a suitcase? I despise those pathetic scumbags, who have turned into such monsters. I hope they burn in hell and be subjected to same sort of abuse. I would be more than happy to break their bones myself, even though I am not a violent person. I have a horse, and she is so spoiled, pampered and well taken care of, if I may say so myself, that she practically lives in better conditions than I do. If anyone was cruel to her, I'd take matters into my own hands and that would not be a pretty sight.

The more one reads, the worse it gets. Someone ran over a dog with a lawnmower. Chinese zookeepers push a terrified donkey into the tiger enclosure and it takes about half an hour for the donkey to die. Another person punches a donkey, posts the act in social media and thinks "it's funny". Some sick animal abusers cut off a donkey's tail, shoot a dog with a bow and arrow, or throw a puppy off a balcony. Some other sickos in another unnamed country drove to the desert, found a dog there, tied him up and drove over him several times. I think (and hope) that the dog died at the end, but it happened several times and the dog kept sinking in the sand. Those idiots thought it's the best type of entertainment they can think of, driving their daddy's 4 x 4 and being cruel to an animal- even though common sense and religion say it's a wrong thing to do.

I don't understand how these abusers sleep at night. I would very much like to know. My grandfather used to "destroy" their newborn kittens by drowning them. In that day and age I don't think anyone had heard about spaying and neutering cats, so more and more kittens kept coming. I always wanted to know what happened to the kittens, but I can't remember if anyone ever explained anything to me. I must have been five years old then. My grandfather was a war veteran and a farmer, lived in the countryside and lived with long term injuries he sustained in the war. It's still inexcusable what he did to those kittens, but in some way I do understand... In some other ways I don't..
I once slapped my dog, when he was naughty and it took a very long time until I could sleep at night and I have not forgiven myself for what I did. I probably never will. People who do this continuously, repeatedly... that's something I don't get and I have very very little sympathy toward them. I cry each time when I read sad animal stories, cruelty cases.. and even the happy ones.

Animal cruelty

"Pony killed in vicious attack" says a headline in a well-known magazine. Apparently the Shetland pony had been repeatedly attached with a heavy object and it resulted in serious injuries. The pony had to be put down. I will never ever understand what makes people kill defenseless animals, be they dogs, cats, horses or anything else. I just hope and pray that justice will be served and may these people, who so cruelly murdered this pony, experience something even worse in their lives. Wishing something bad for them does not make me a better person, but who would stand up for the pony's rights? So yes, may those insane criminals find themselves in a situation where no one comes to their rescue. Violent painful death. I hope they sleep well, because the pony's bloody face will haunt them in their dreams for many more years. I hope they can tell their kids, who ask them for a pony, that they are actually pony killers themselves and "no, we can't get a pony for you, because it would be a constant reminder of what I achieved when I was young and stupid". I hope the perps are caught and given not just a fine, but several months in jail and 1000 lashes.

" Don’t tell me her name; I don’t need to know it, to cry for her"

Gang rape victim dies in Singapore hospital. This is in Top 10 in Yahoo's "trending now".
Grief is immeasurable, there are no words to describe how I feel. My heart goes out to her family, friends and relatives. It is appalling, outrageous and unbelievable, but it happened. May she rest in peace and may she never be forgotten. Anonymous victim of shocking crime.

Violence against women is not uncommon. Violence is everywhere, not just against women for sure. Many die in vain, but it should not be that way. This case has world wide attention, but many other victims of violent crimes never gain this amount of attention. We think nothing about boarding a bus, it is meant to take us to our destination. Motor vehicle accidents again are common, but not gang rapes!!!! None us expects to be brutally attacked, raped or killed in a bus, train or airplane. Car and plane crashes happen, they are unavoidable, but rape can be prevented. What went on in these young men's minds, what prompted them to do what they did? Alcohol, drugs, whatever gave them the idea of damaging the two strangers' bodies, injuries that would eventually cause one of them to die.

Young men? Boys? Criminals? Rapists and murderers? They all need to be punished- in this case I totally support capital punishment. They have to die for what they did. Alcohol may have conveniently buried all memories "I was not there, I didn't do anything..", but death of this girl is true. Can they now be honest and truthful?
These were no men, no boys, but brutal monsters. Eye for an eye. May they all face firing squad. Let them beg on their knees for mercy, which will never come. Many will celebrate when those monsters are dead. Haven't we already had enough? These monsters must become examples to the rest of the world. This crime is now resting on their shoulders, and only theirs. I feel no pity toward them. Let them die.

Does the society make our youngsters feel that drugs, violence, sexual promiscuity, rape are the 'norm' and ok?

None of this will bring this poor soul back. She did not invite anyone to attack her or choose this day as the day she would die. None of this will make her male friend's injuries heal any faster. None of this will wipe this terrible experience out of his memory. 45 minutes of horrendous attack and NO ONE stopped the nightmare. As if it all is a movie scene. One of the worst ever scenes.
I know... I was not in that bus, but why did no one act?
One person against these monsters probably has no chance, not alone. Monsters were powered by the Devil himself. Totally pointless,senseless, sick. Will they themselves remember every single detail of the attack? Will they hate themselves that much that they commit suicide? One cannot possibly live knowing this is what they have done, and it cannot be undone. Those moments will never return. Those who are left behind, have to deal with this and it will not be easy, nor it can ever be forgotten.

This added to the sorrow, madness and sadness of 2012.

Sometimes, an atrocity bites so deep that we have no armor against it, and that was what happened with the 23-year-old medical student, the one who left a cinema hall and boarded the wrong bus, whose intestines were so badly damaged that the injuries listed on the FIR report made hardened doctors, and then the capital city, cry for her pain."

"On a long road, miles to go
Its winding and cold and its covered with snow
But I ask you what we all want to know
Where are we going from here...

Lines on my face, lines on my hands
Lead to a future I don't understand
Some things don't go as they're planned...
Where are we going from here...

Tracing the trails through the mirrors of time
Spinning in circles with riddles in rhyme
We lose our way, trying to find
Searching to find our way home...
Trying to find our way home...

As the day dies, with tears in our eyes
There's too few hellos and too many goodbyes
Silence answers our cries...where are we going from here...

We're all on this road, with miles to go
Braving new pathways into the unknown
But who do you ask, when no one really knows
Where we are going from here..."
