Why would anyone pay to shoot helpless lions in a cage?

Sick people in this world.

Good Rolling Stone article

Multi media article on the cost of cheap meat. You want to talk about animal cruelty, our own factory farms are the place to start. Seriously good piece.

I don't eat meat, chicken, any of it (thanks in great part to golfer) but there are certain things I just can't even bear to look at.

I'm glad you posted it and am sure it's a great piece. I have seen enough of these types of things to last a few lifetimes.

Thank God for people who can bear to look and write, photograph and post such things.

Of course, assorted state governments' way of dealing with this sort of exposé is to make it illegal to photograph these cruelties:

Because that's the way to deal with barbarity. Hide it and pretend it's not happening.

I watched Happy Feet for the first time. What a brilliant way to express the message and importance of ocean conservation.

From the link:
"A report earlier this year from the Wall Street Journal estimates that one in 10 photos on Tinder has a tiger in it - perhaps because the men want to appear adventurous to potential partners."

Men, you know what will make you appealing to potential partners? Selfies with puppies.

Two former circus elephants reunited. )This was back in 2000 and some may have already seen it.)


"Jenny came into the barn for the first time since Shirley's arrival at around 7:00 p.m. There was an immediate urgency in Jenny's behavior. She wanted to get close to Shirley who was divided by two stalls. Once Shirley was allowed into the adjacent stall the interaction between her and Jenny became quite intense. Jenny wanted to get into the stall with Shirley desperately.She became agitated, banging on the gate and trying to climb through and over.

After several minutes of touching and exploring each other, Shirley started to ROAR and I mean ROAR—Jenny joined in immediately. The interaction was dramatic, to say the least, with both elephants trying to climb in with each other and frantically touching each other through the bars. I have never experienced anything even close to this depth of emotion".

Unfortunately Jenny died 10 yrs later.
