Yes. I hate mankind. Why you ask? What have we done lately you ask?
Mankind killed my soulmate.
Let me explain: My soulmate, Sara (Yes, shes a Cat if you have a problem with that come to me so i can rip your head off.), died of kidney disease.
How did she get it? Man-made poisions designed to kill mice in agriculture.
Now on to the drawn out explanations:
My Baby was a hunter. She found extreme joy in hunting and killing mice. She had been doing it for all 14 of her years and has killed by my estimations at least a thousand mice. Which, if you think about it, actually works to the farmers benefit.
He is obviously ignorant of the good effect of housecats in our area using his field as their hunting-grounds. But i wont get into that. He used chemicals to poison the mice (which are only trying to live) so they wont nibble on his crops (Mind you i haven't seen any useful crop in that field since we moved here 16 years ago. Considering its a protected wildlife habitat because of the deer i don't think it produces anything useful.).
Sara, being the hunter that she is, has been eating (and frequently throwing-up) these poisoned mice for her entire life (it's rather surprising she lived as long as she did what with being poisoned slowly all her life). After doing this for so long (in the summers she would catch up to 3 mice per day) of course it had to affect her. All that poison went straight to her kidneys and with advancing age they couldn't work as well as they used to.
When i first began to notice a change (I was always touching her all over because i loved the feel of her fur and the warmth of her body etc.) we naturally took her to the vet who proclaimed that her kidneys were enlarged. He actually nearly suggested we put her down then and there but i loudly asked what we could do so he gave us a few pills and gave her a liquid IV for aslong as we were there. He also tested her blood for the things that show decline in kidney productivity to make sure his diagnosis wasn't off. Her stats weren't so bad and he said she would recover.
So we took her back home and tried every method in existance to give her the pills (i even got bit trying to keep her mouth open) but since she had never had any previous health issues taking pills was extremely foreign and she is a very strong kitty so she wouldn't take it. Even the few times we managed to force it down her she would purposly throw it up again. So we went back to the vet and told him we couldn't get her to take the pills so he put her back on IV and gave her some shots and told us to come back in a week and make sure she drinks a lot of water (which was easier to get her to do than take the damn pills).
So we did that but she got worse and the week before she died he told us to have her put down that there was nothing more he could do for her. Which i call bullshit because i did some research and most cats (even those that are older than she was) can live up to 5 years after being diagnosed through various therapies. I would have tried ANYTHING i would have even given my OWN LIFE if it meant she could live. Although i dont think she would have wanted to live without me because even when i was gone for a few days she would throw a tantrum. Anyway, he refused to help her and when she started to really suffer i did the hardest thing i ever could and had her put down.
Now what REALLY gets my knickers in a twist is that people will do everything possible when a human life is at stake but if its anything apart from human they say kill it. There is nothing humane about that. Mercy killing is still killing.
Mankind condones the slaughter of thousands of species who it feels are inferior to itself.
I have less to say about this because i confess i am rather ignorant with most practices of mass animal slaughter or even small scale animal slaughter. But it does irk me that just because an animal is just being animal-like we have a reason to kill it. People think that because they are the supposed dominant species on this planet that they can invade other animals habitats and slaughter them then take and use up their food sources and living space to mankinds benefit. It's disgusting. While i am only partially against the mass breeding of food-animals for slaughter purposes at least THAT doesn't cause the death/irradication of so many species.
Certain members of mankind like to hurt other people.
Being hurt is not fun. Being hurt by supposed friends and trusted people is worse. People think it's OK to hurt those closest to them just because they think they are in love. Well ******** that. There is a limit to stupidity and if you cross that line i'll kick your a** on the way out. I DON'T want friends who drop you at the first sign of "love". Especially not when they KNOW how you feel about it and choose to ignore it. Because hey a shred of happiness is supposedly better than heaps of friendship and affection. Right. We should all abandon our common sense just because someone tells you three simple words. Well let me tell you this E**** three simple words will NOT keep you afloat. They are meaningless especially when they come from people who can be so superficial and flimsy. You need depth. You need commitment. I was going to help you get that but now, no. I refuse to stand by to pick up the pieces because you wouldn't listen to me. I won't tolerate such behaviour in anyone. No matter how i feel about them. If you prefer the company of the superficial over the substance go ahead. It will be your downfall.
Heed my warning, people of earth, I speak the truth and you know it. Diamonds are rarer than gold.
Okay, i'm going to stop now because i've started crying about the Sara thing and have trouble seeing the keyboard. I shall update the animal slaughter post later when i feel better.
PS: You don't have to agree with me.
