But the real threats are with those who know exactly what
they are doing. Many of the people that
have committed heinous acts of violence to animals & people do it because
they view the animals as a nuisance and the people as a problem. They feel they must take matters into their
own hands, to disrupt nature & eliminate perceived threats to solve their issues.
As an example, wild horses.
The Bureau of Land Management in this country kills 1000’s every
year. The horses wander onto farmlands
and other areas and are removed. If not
rescued & adopted into equine shelters, they are killed and used for dog
food. But we let untold millions of
people into this country to use our resources, resources that don’t last
forever and we actually encourage this migration. This influx of people stresses our nation in
many ways. So, I ask myself…when is our
government going to start killing us, since they started long ago with horses.
Our government funds horrid experiments on animals. I wonder, when will they start doing them on us? Well, in many ways they already have. And it isn’t just our government…as the world goes the mistreatment of people, animals & the nature around us has been going on for far, far too long in every corner of the globe. The end result if left to continue… is a land devoid of life.
Through my years I have hated things, but it is how we deal
with these emotions that separates good from evil. I have 100’s of witnesses that can testify to
my love of animals & my fellow man.
But that doesn’t mean I have to love every animal & person out
there. If a dog bares his teeth and
growls at me…I know how to deal with that…I either sooth the beast or walk
away…but I never turn my back on hate & evil, it’s too unpredictable…I’ve
been bitten before. By the same token
you can tell when a dog just wants some compassion & companionship. The tails wagging & the demeanor is of
happiness, not distrust…& this dog may not even know you. Your reaction to their actions is called
communication. Even if you cannot speak to each other in verbal language…body
signals, eye contact, a smile, all lead to comfort & a sense of sharing, even
if it’s just unspoken emotions.
Love is silent and giving, hate is loud & conniving.
Today we see hate on display in all parts of our country
& the world. You can see it on the
news, read it in the paper & scroll thru it on your devices…it is how we
deal with it as a society & a world that decides if we stand up…or walk
away. There are untold amounts of
commentary on the evils people do to each other. Sometimes we see what people do to animals,
even animals with nothing but love in their hearts. But what are the animals
feeling? What do the other horses that
escaped on the range think of when they see their friends & families taken,
never to be seen again? You can ask a
person, how about a horse?
I want to share a story I saw on-line. A horse trailer had two horses as it traveled
down the hi-way. The horses were facing
forward with feed bags of hay in front of them.
Their halters were strapped so they couldn’t really move much. They had blinders on to calm them as they
slowly munched on hay.
It was an enclosed trailer with side windows for ventilation
that were open…no screens. These windows
went from the front of the trailer to about the shoulder area of each horse…the
horses were side by side in their stalls.
So, you have this picture in your head…each horse was basically blind,
munching hay & strapped to their stalls.
Suddenly a semi-truck starts blaring its horn at the drivers of the
trailer. The semi-driver is frantic
motioning for them to pull over. They
finally do only to realize to their horror the trailer is on fire in the front
half & they are helpless to do anything about it. The trailer is eventually fully engulfed in
flames. The drivers are devastated as
their beloved horses are gone…forever.
The drivers of the trailer, the owners of the horses, can
only assume somehow a lit cigarette was thrown out a passing window and got
caught up in one of the hay bails & started the fire. There were no sources of flame anywhere
around the horses or in the trailer…an unfortunate accident resulting in the
horrific death of two horses. I read
this story and had other thoughts about how the fire started, but that wasn’t
my first thoughts…my first thoughts were about those horses, thoughts like a
nightmare.
It is probable it was a careless accident, but it is also possible a deranged person flicked that lit cigarette in the direction of those horses on purpose, a lucky shot if you will, but not so lucky for the horses. But this is the real message I want to deliver:
Can you imagine being blinded, chained to a rail, food
stuffed in front of you, and you are surrounded by unfamiliar loud noises. You can not move, except to chew your food,
you are naked and it’s a long trip so when you must pee or poo…you just go,
right where you’re standing. Suddenly
your whole face and head is on fire…you can not move, the pain is unbearable,
the horror as your skin melts off your face and you eventually die of a heart
attack from the sheer horror of pain & worse off, you were blinded and
strapped and had no way to get out of the hellish nightmare, a nightmare to
real for these peaceful creatures. It
brings shivers to my soul & my spirit cries for their horror…but then I ask
myself…am I any different than these horses?
Am I not strapped into this life that I have no real control over. Am I just another bag of flesh & bones
with a feed bag? Am I also destined to
die a fiery death? No, no & no.
Unlike a helpless horse, you do have control of your life, you are more than skin & bones & your death does not have to be a fiery hell. You have choices…choices that can determine your walk in this life, choices that determine your spiritual path. Maybe you don’t believe you have a soul & a spirit, maybe you think it doesn’t matter, maybe you think you’ll just return to the ground for the worms to eat or be incinerated with your ashes scattered to the winds. But maybe there is more to this life than meets our eyes. If you are blind, strapped and need help, what will you do? Well, if you’re blinded you can still talk right…so you scream, yell & shout for a savior. Your damn heads on fire, yeah, you’ll be screaming!!!!
That’s how I see a lot of our society & our world
today. Too many folks blinded to the
realities around them, strapped to their way of life, with their head filled
with the deceptions of mankind…their heads are on fire with hate &
ignorance to a point where they chant & scream & protest & conceive
of ways to eliminate what they feel is tormenting them…some lose grip &
resort to violence & sadly some don’t even know why they lost grip with conscience
reality & let their subconscious demons take over.
But there are far too many folks out there that know exactly
what they are doing. Their agenda is of
hate and elimination of anyone & anything that even minutely disagrees with
their cause. There is no room for
compromise because they are born & taught a hate so deep that it permeates
their entire existence. And what is this
hate they really have…not of you & me…no sir, ultimately, they hate
themselves and, in their hate, they do what is unthinkable to you & me.
