Yes, here is yet another blog pleading and harassing people to sway one's opinion one way or the other. Another blog written in the name of wishful thinking and hoping through the power of words, it will influence some people to action.
My thing is words. I like to write and I (sometimes) like to voice some outspoken issues.
What has prompted me to finally make this blog, independent of my existing blog about another issues passionate to me (my home building blog), is the treatment of animals in this world. My particularly love - dogs. They are the most friendly and endearing species of animals when you give them half a chance. With a steady hand and a loving heart, we can accomplish plenty together - I truly believe this - Police Dogs, Service Dogs and Guide Dogs are one strong examples. I am sure there are other applications.
What finally tipped me over the edge was this online petition started by an anonymous something that also had the urge to try and effect change in this world. The petition is/was about medical research done to Greyhounds by Monash University. The claims are outrageous and disgusting, however, by no means false or a stand-alone thing. Think of animal testing on all kinds of products that we use every single day.
The cure founded on the back of these insanely cruel medical research are not worth finding. There, I have said it. Yes I am not dying of a disease at the moment, but my stance would be the same. I don't want to live so badly that would warrant hurting animals over.
I was further dumbfounded by the fact that this online petition (which takes all of 3 seconds to complete) could not find 25,000 signatures. That is not a lot of signatures, yet right now it has only reached 18,000 signatures. There are a lot more dog owners in this country. Think of your furry loved ones at home and for crying out loud, f*cking sign the damn petition to stand up for the beautiful four-legged creatures that can't voice their pain and fear.
Do something people. Anything!!!!
