Wonderful animals.

I often post or share articles on animal welfare because to me there simply is no argument for animal cruelty on any level. I believe we are designed to hunt and eat meat but I seek out organic and if possibly high welfare meat, preferably local.

Hunting as a sport.... Wtf?! I don't get it. Photos of dead animals next to a smug bastard with a rifle and an insane testosterone fueled grin make me want to kick the shit out of someone. Bullfighting, fox hunts, badger culls, shooting birds, rabbits, elephants or lions, dog fights, animals in cages or tanks ( yep I'm sure that 6ft python fucking loves it in that tank 24/7) fur coats, whale hunting, cutting fins off sharks, testing cosmetics on, mistreating or the neglect of domestic pets is unquestionably sick.

People who have a poor bastard snake in a tank, or go hunting defend this shit to the death (no pun intended) but I couldn't give a rats arse about over population, human attacks or fucking tradition. WE encroach in their territories and then get pissed when they adapt for survival. Or defend their babies or their homes. Who the fuck do these people think they are?? There is ALWAYS a more humane alternative to torture and then murder. Fucking fox hunting?! The fox is scared out if it's mind, forced to run for its life, little to no odds in their favour, by a pack of hounds (who get treated like shit a lot of the time too and then shot when they are passed their hunting years "you're for the knackers yard old boy, thanks for the memories - BANG, wot wot".) and when the fox collapse with exhaustion or a heart attack the pack of dogs rips it apart limb from limb. Oh, that's just bloody lovely that is. I get told I'm a townie therefore I don't understand, I'm out if the loop, naive or soft somehow, piss off you patronising cuntry folk (spelling mistake totally intended) I get it. It's ego, it's testosterone, it's philistinism at its best, it's outdated, it's disgusting and it's cruel and it's fucking murder. Think of another way to protect crops, test cosmetics, control populations, contain disease. None of these are good enough reasons.

I am often uncomfortable with the amount of splinters I have stuck in my arse, I can usually see both sides of an argument and more often that not can agree (so annoying) with points on both sides, like I can see why lazy arsed criminal, scum bags hate the police, but can also see clearly the side of the worn out, overworked and constantly abused, frustrated copper, but not on this one.

We are animals, this is our world, for fucks sake, show some respect to our neighbours.

RIP The Black Rhino. Declared extinct recently.... The White Rhino is not far behind. 25% of the worlds mammals are at risk of extinction (IUCN) - what an absolute tragedy.
