There's been some miserable news lately - Not that it's unusual in our "superior" world that permits the use of "lesser" others as a means to our ends. So privileged we are. :/
I have on occasion challenged people who thought this way by arguing: If we encountered a race of beings who were much more able than us... And they wanted to control, confine, manipulate and utilize our bodies - Wouldn't we scream bloody murder at the injustice of it?!?
We would - Wouldn't we.
The video above comes from Vegan Smythe, "He won't eat anyone with feet". If you're looking for the lighter side of what ails you - Check him out.
In the meantime considering man's super specialness and all:
'I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.' ~Gandhi
And I can't argue with that one bit.
The more helpless, the more entitled to protection...I agree too...100%! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment veganelder - Our system of "trickle down" even regarding compassion, fails miserably to help the littlest sparrows...
ReplyDeleteLovely Gandhi line and loony Gonk tellegrassian tune -- both so tellingly true.
ReplyDeleteThanks, as always, for your inveterate digging and generous sharing of whatever tidbits of truth you find, Bea.
Hi CQ - Gosh so sorry for leaving your comment hanging without a reply. I've been having unworldly troubles with "spam" these days. Just clicked through my daily *over 500 notices* - Something's always likely to get lost. I'd like to "tellegress" whoever invented "spam" (both kinds)...
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am happy to dig though the good stuff - And to share something fun. Glad it put a smile on your face. ;)
