Eating Fluffy
Well, I think people are upset about the recent request by the Denmark zoo to drop off your Fifis and moggies for a late night snack for the big cats.
You shouldn't be. It's the circle of life and all that. It's the icky part we don't want to see. If you are a carnivore, you are the cat. Little piggies and cows are eaten by you. You just don't see the part where they kill the animals, cut them up and make them look not like Peppa or Babe.
Do I sound like a wretched human, an uncaring beyotch? Perhaps I am. Go ahead and roll your eyes and sigh because here it comes. I was a vegetarian for over twenty-five years. I ate tofu and shitty tasting faux meat. I bought expensive processed plant based garbage. Food was not a pleasure. It was just a means to stay alive.
And then one day I realized, this world is cruel. It's so damn fucking cruel and my not eating a tasty animal will not change one damn thing. Of course I love animals. You love animals. That's not the point. They are animals. So are we and we like meat. We're all going to die so I'm going to get some pleasure out of whatever this is. I'm still going to throw my garbage in the right receptacle so it can all go in the same dump down the line. I'm still going to cut up the plastic soda holders so little animals don't get their heads stuck in one, but I'm not going to pretend anymore that what I'm doing makes any difference. It doesn't. We can try and hold back the flood, but it's going to happen. We're shits. Face it, were a bunch of shits who are destroying this planet. I hope there does come a day when humans have gone the way of the dinosaurs and this planet will keep on turning, doing it's cruel thing. Either people will find a way to survive or they won't. So what. We are nothing.
So if you want to send Fluffy to the zoo, go ahead. People will probably hate you even though you are doing the best thing for your pet and the big kitty.
I'm going to go bake a chicken for dinner now and enjoy watching a nice sunset.
