FOXES AND SNARES: There is No End to the Cruelty of the Elite

Sharing with you:

What are snares? The Wild Animals being Killed by the Elite

Snares are found in private estates across the UK, but what are they? And are they really legal?

I lived in the UK for 6 years. I love the Brits. In my view the Brits are way ahead of their level of compassion for other living beings, for example the U.S.

However, there is a particular segment of English elite society (I refer to them as the “Downtown Abbey” crowd), who have no regard to the cruelty and lack of compassion for the non-humans they torture, maim, and kill … purely for fun.

I would just ask that when you dress up in your silly outfits and sic a pack of dogs on an innocent animal … please don’t. Just think about what you are doing.

Who is Crossing the Road Now?

WHO IS CROSSING THE ROAD NOW?

In a previous blog post, we discussed and examined the age-old issue of “Why did the Chicken Cross the Road?”

Well, now we have a new question.

Why do toads, frogs, and newts cross the road?

Now we have the answer:

Local campaigners have successfully ensured that a road crossed by toads, frogs, and newts will once again be closed for the busiest six weeks of the breeding season.

Charlcombe Lane in Bath, UK, will stay shut until March 25. During this time, thousands of amphibians will venture across the road to reach their breeding lake in a valley below.

Bath and North East Somerset Council has agreed to close the road every spring since 2003. Local volunteers from Charlcombe Toad Rescue Group oversee the crossings and help toads, frogs, and newts get to safety.

How cool is this?

How compassionate is this?

Humans, or at least these humans, care.

Mind Our Words

A great mind once said the following:

Watch Your Thoughts, They Become Words; Watch Your Words, They Become Actions

Unfortunately, I have been trying to figure out which of the great thinkers said this. I came across many possibilities: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Lao Tzu, Siddhartha Guatama, Margaret Thatcher, Abraham Lincoln, Marcus Aurelius, Mr. Spock, Mohandas Gandhi, Donald J. Trump.

(Ok, so one of the above “great thinkers” is a joke)

Anyway, so since I cannot figure what wise person said this, I have decided to attribute it to “myself.”

But there is a very important issue to consider re: this admonition: “Mind Our Words.” Read the following:

From “Pet” to “Fish”: Are you using Speciesist Language?

From 'Pet' To 'Fish': Are You Using Speciesist Language? (plantbasednews.org)

“How we Talk about Animals Matters for How They’re Treated”

So, as you read this, consider some of the following:

What is Speciesism?

Speciesist Language

Pronouns

“Pet and Owner”

Fish, and other singular nouns for animals

Farm animals

Euphemisms

Respecting Animals

So, just something to think about as we “Mind Our Words.”
