the stuff this guy writes is deep... it hits me right in the centre of my chest and radiates throughout me for the rest of the day.

but i read this particular post and cried a little, because that's how i feel.

shouldn't we, as a developing race, be looking after those creatures that can't look after themselves in our increasingly modern and technological world? we may have the ability to fight the common cold etc... but as we advance, we, as a species, grow weaker and weaker. how many of us can truly say that we can live and survive in the cold outdoors, in nature, physically fending for ourselves and our families?
well, that's what those creatures do everyday, they live the same way the did fifty, one hundred, two thousand years ago.
and as we advance, we forget that they stay the same, and that where we may be better because of it, they suffer.
chicken's, squirrels, toads trying to cross the road getting run over by cars- all they want is to get to shelter and vegetation. all we want is to be where we need to be faster.
my heart bleeds for every animal suffering at the hand of man- rats, mice, birds, cats, dogs, fish, the list is endless.
it's depressing what we're doing. they have no control over their *lives*... it's cruel. people are so mindless of their surroundings, so consumed in me, me, me, here and now. i want! give it! i don't care what the consequences are, or how it will affect anyone or anything else.
i don't know. maybe i'm too sensitive.
but shouldn't every animal have a voice and not just the chosen few?
