Are we our own worst enemy?

[WinterGreenWolf]

Though I didn't sort through and pick apart every piece of text 30-30, I have to agree more with Silverwolf on this one. The big thing I'll point out to you is that what I mentioned would be nice luxuries: but they don't change a damn thing for me.




Activism would be nice, lesser punishments would be nice if there's a fuck-up, stricter animal cruelty laws would be nice, especially with evidence of harm being present. But -none- of thoes things will stop me from loving my canines, none will stop me from possibly having a mate again. Not a one, because I'm not an idiot.




As for religion, do *not* even get me started on the hypocrisy, outright stupidity, idiocy and personal hate someone can harbor due to that fucking thousand year old story book. I'm not even going to discuss it at all, other than to say I myself have been attacked,  called sinner, liar, and non-believer *personally*, by people I've known a lot of years because I don't buy their bullshit.




I know we're the 'pattern' ape too: I also know there's a lot we nor anyone else knows about animals. WHat I was driving at is the sheer stupidity everyone has on the subject, and that view will -not- change. Out of all people 30 *you* should know better than that, you're an exclusive, have worked with Equines for years, and have a lover: you should know they're much more dynamic, have deeper perspectives, and understandings than given credit for.




I'm sick of people not using their logic, brain power, and sense of questioning: not to mention the follow-along mentality, that's why I don't 'fight to be zoo' anymore, much like SIlverwolf. It's as if a lot of people's greatest evolutionary traits, their brains: the -one- thing that seperates them from chimps, the evolutionary 'perk' that went astray, just shuts off all a sudden.




Have you seen the pseudo-science shit people fall for? Food scanners that can tell you everything about a mean using Infrared, vacuum-trains that replace subways and bring the difficulty of space-travel to earth? Come on people, Jesus Christ use your brains!




Now *deep breath*, I will give you the point about animal mating habits, to an extend: the thing is though even humans have a 'heat cycle', and all animals have the capability to have sex out of season (mammals, of course...). Why some do and some don't? Who knows! There's still a lot of understanding in general that needs to be learned about animals, not just from a Zoo Perspective.




Also to Covfefelake, you are right, our 'activism' scene is *bloody* fucking awful! We have no one with level head and steady hand to speak for us, or even get the basics straight. Hell even the exclusives disagree on definitions!




I know 30's views are distorted, much the same ways mine are: and I can understand why, it's not a mystery either. So I can see why he's not pushing, that being said I *myself* would like some change, or at least for the lynch mentality to go down somewhat.




The 'Kero Case' (that archive, is beyond horrid by the way, do NOT look at it...... If you value your sanity....) has also pretty much fucked us for another long while as well. 




Oh well, least I don't have too much to worry over, yet and hopefully never..
