OK so I read the news on CNN.com just about every morning. I don't know if it's just me or not, but every time I log on, I find at least one story about animal cruelty of some sort. I find this really disturbing. Last week, the Humane Society in Washington County, Pa., found nearly 30 emaciated horses on a farm and were struggling to find a place for them to stay let alone to find enough money to pay veterinarian bills.
So today I log on and find this little diddy about smoking a bong that has a kitten stuffed in it. I mean let's get serious: Stoners will be stoners and will always try to get their pets high, but is it necessary to torture the poor thing by shoving it into your pipe? But I guess I've since learned to never underestimate the stupidity of a pothead.
I suppose I simply don't understand animal cruelty. This is not to say I'm a member of PETA or that I'm a vegetarian, it just means I'm sympathetic to innocent and defenseless creatures that humans take advantage of for no reason whatsoever. Take the horses for example, why would the owners leave them to die on their farm with no food rather than call the Humane Society or try to sell them or something. Instead, they let them suffer.
I also came across this article about a man protesting Christianity by standing naked on a church steeple's cross for seven hours. I had a number of questions after reading this: 1. How is threatening to kill yourself by jumping naked from the top of a church a protest of Christianity? 2. Was it necessary to defile the cross by smearing your own feces on it? 3. More importantly, how did this guy manage to move his bowels while balancing on a cross? 4. Most importantly, who are you really punishing by pooing in your own hand and smearing it on an object you are clinging to?
