Twice today I have seen two terrible, horrible awful videos of dogs being mistreated. One by a toddler that dropped a tiny puppy on a tile floor, shown not moving probably from brain damage and one of three men in China beating a dog (tied to a rope) with bats and pounding stones on it’s lifeless body. I wanted to throw up after watching both of these, I still do. I am a strong person and I am weak at the knees and my eyes can never un-see. My heart hurts….
Who is holding the camera and why are they okay with these things happening? Who? Seriously? Why or why do they think capturing this moment is more important than doing the right thing? I am not one for internet trolling but what is the right answer? How do we take away the attention? If we take away the attention will it stop? Or am I delusional to think that, and it will keep happening with no camera rolling?
We have to change the way we treat living things. I pray everyday that I will see animals treated humanly in my life time. I feel so helpless when it comes to this subject. What can we do? I would love to know how I can help make this stop?! How do we educate these people? How do we change the laws so these irresponsible people are not allowed to be responsible for a helpless animal, much less a toddler that they are teaching?
I LOVE what I do for a living. I LOVE my life (in my safe, cushy bubble). But my heart and head tell me that I am no where close to being done yet. That as a problem solver I am not sure I will ever find peace in my heart until I make a dent in this. I wish I had all 24 hours in my day to do something. But I am stuck. Stuck behind my words on this blog and I am not sure where to go? These are not excuses just the parameters I am working with. I have little time, I have little money, I have even less room for more animals. I am at an utter and complete loss how to help…please bombard me with suggestions! Help me…help them. And just so I can sleep tonight a taste of what love can do to an animal that has been tortured. Took me 6 years but we got here…
