Hypocrisy

From: Drifter Bob

Recently, on a show on Comedy Central called 'the daily show',
they showed a clip of a park in China where people purchase baby chickens
(cute fuzzy yellow little 'chicks') and throw them into this big pond
full of voracious crocodiles, who promptly eat them. There were plenty
of closeups of these tiny little, helpless warm fuzzy little chicks,
blinking their cute little eyes, trying to stand up straight and get
their bearings on a lily pad, shivering and looking pathetic and even cuter
with water and mud matting down their little downy coat, when suddenly the
enormous jaws of a Croc crunch down upon their uncomprehending little bodies,
and rip, grind and puncture them into oblivion.

Needless to say I loved this.

Then a week later they had to do an editorial about it, because
there were so many complaints from viewers offended by seeing chickens
get slaughtered. The writers of the show pointed out wryly (with clips
of muddy, pathetic chinese children and protestors in Tienamen square
being slaughtered) that the Chinese government does a lot worse things
than kill 5 cents a dozen baby chickens, much of which is indirectly
subsidized by American consumers purchasing zillions of dollars of
chinese goods, much of which is manufactured in slave labor (just look at
the latest cheap electronic gadget, shoe, or plastic gew-gaw you have
purchased, and you will probably see 'made in China' on it...)

No shiess man! You know, the hyppocrisy of Americans never
fails to amaze me. Fake ass puritan dorks. In China, they sell the
organs of Prisoners to wealthy transplant patients, make the deal and
THEN shoot them. People ignore hell on earth hapily, and even partipate
in it, but let them have to witness some stupid mindless beast being
hurt, suddenly they are bunch of bleeding hearts.

Something similar happened in the sixties once. Some Yippies
made a public announcement that they were going to napalm a puppy in
protest of the vietnam war. Thousands of angry people showed up to kill
them, but it turned out they werent going to napalm anything, it was just
a publicity stunt to point out the horror of Vietnamese villagers (and,
one has to assume, many of their village animals) being napalmed by our
government on a daily basis. Naturally nobody gave a crap about that and
the crowd dispersed, grumbling.

You know what? I got news for you people. Animals arent going
to do so well in general if we let our governments become totally
diabolical, any more than people are. This sentimental, phony idolitry
of stinking, flea infested critters to the explicit exclusion of having
any concern for the lives of people, is a kind of social and intellectual
disease. People want to tuck their head in the sand and fawn all over
their dogs and cats 'because people suck', 'animals don't judge you', etc.
The truth is idiots form depraved emotional bonds with their
neurotic animals because they are too stupid and weak minded to grasp,
let alone responsibly deal with, the real world. Yes I said Neurotic.
Do you know that in the United States and estimated 400,000 pet cats and
dogs are currently being medicated with PROSAC and other similar mind
scrambling drugs due to 'depression' and other 'personality disorders'?

You idiots!

You have so many pets that their offspring swarm unwanted across
our every city, starving to death, spreading and suffering from disease,
living lives of misery and torture, while you feed your own personal
animal 'companion' $5 cans of dog food, $10 a box doggie treats, $20
catnip toys, and adorn them with sweaters, little houses, jeweled
collars, manicures, pedicures, and $100 per month Prosac perscriptions.
One day people in the third world who are forced to subsist on
incomes considerably less than what you spend on your stupid dog or cat
are going to cut your throat and eat you and your dog, and you will have
diserved it. Every year in the United States hundreds of millions of
dollars are spent on the Veterinary medical industry. Dogs and cats get
heart surgery, eye surgery, cosmetic surgery, New Age spiritual
surgery, while EVEN IN THIS COUNTRY millions of PEOPLE go without adequate
medical care, archaic diseases like Tuburculosis and Typhoid and Dyptheria
are spreading in our inner cities, due to cut backs in basic public health
measures...

But why should you care? Your mutant minature mutt is nice and
friendly, and so cute the way he yips and nips and does little flips, and
people are mean and bad and want to hurt you. He communicates his past
lives to you with mystical Chihuaha ESP, and thinks funny jokes. So why
care? Because exactly that. You can torment thousands of stray animals
through neglect in your cities for a thousand centuries, and they aren't
going to do ANYTHING about it. They are stupid animals. They CANT do
anythign about it. Ever. But you keep harassing people like that, it can
come back to haunt you.

A dog is never going to form a gang or a revolutionary cell and
hunt you down. No dog will ever shoot anybody, or burn down your
neighborhood, or kidnap you, make a bomb and blow up your house. But pissed
off people will. Whats more, diseases spreading among the dog population
arent likely to effect humans, but you let the black plague and aids and
god knows what kind of megalo-super-hantavirus breed in your cities,
eventually somebody you know is going to go downtown & get a hooker, and
then next thign you know your neighborhood paperboy is going to be yelling
'bring out your dead!'

Not that I actually hate animals or anything. Animals are great,
especially in the wild or at least semi-wild environment, they can be
symbiotic, help you rid your home of vermin, eat scraps, guard the place,
even share affection. Nothing wrong with that. But it's the hyppocrisy
and waste that just KILLS ME. You know how many tons of food is fed to
pets every year while people starve all over the world? Whats more, if
they showed you how they make that pet food on Comedy Central you would
be writing angry letters again, nobody wants to see 'Roany the friendly
horse' ground up and hacked to bits as soon as he gets too old for the
racetrack, and made into Jello Brand Jelletin and Elmers glue and yes,
Dog Food. Even I don't want to look at that, it's SICK. Poor old horsy
stuffed into so many alpo cans. Wheres the beef?

The point of this rambling rant is simply this: If you want to
be completely insulated from the whole world and not care about anything,
ok, so be it. But don't come whining to me about fuzzy little old yeller
getting whacked in the woods, or some kind of farkn' fur farms, because
I'm going to puke right into your smarmy face out of pure disgust. Whats
more, try selling that crap down in Sowetto, or in some nightmarish
inhabited garbage dump in Guatemala, or on the streets of Calcutta, any
of these places where 2/3rds of humanity are systematically impovrished in
order to support your rich overlords, and to a lesser extent, your own absurd
lifestyle, including your pet food, vet visits, doggie harnesses and pet toys.
Because those people wont think it's too funny.

And whats more, I'd really like to see you trapped somewhere in
the woods, with a bunch of wild animals. Go and pet that Grizzly bear,
see how much he likes you. Observe his noble animal tendancy to eat his
own young, spray shit everywhere, gnaw on his infested ass, oblivious to
the world around him. Just like you.

Just like Christians who slaughtered and tortured and genocided
in the name of the murdered 'innocent', you allow your small remaining
vestigas of compassion and ethics to drain into the feverish obsession
with your pets, and the defence of animals. Institutional murder and
torture of animals IS bad, even dangerous to human society in a
sociological sense, but the far greater tragedy morally is the hundreds
of millions of suppressed human lives which are never allowed to develop
into anything, but are insted stunted and warped into slaves and beggars
and victims. Perhaps more importantly, the practical threat of
astounding evil by humans against humans is far more dangerous than even
the most diabolical government behavior control murder science on
animals, because A) people will do their god damndest to get you back for
putting them in hell, and B) the more evil, despotic, and wicked we let
our governements and corporations become toward people, the more likely
they will seal us into some kind of permanent slave empire, and neither
you nor the animals are going to benefit from that.

Just think about it people...

An angry as usual,

Drifter "Bob"
