We have so much "bad karma" to overcome re our fellow animals...our treatment of them is just unspeakable.<br /><br />Those who deliberately kill and maim for "fun" fill me with despair.veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-58672096896883886882011-06-04T18:44:59.056-05:002011-06-04T18:44:59.056-05:00Excellent post.

We don't have Memorial Day here in Canada, but your first sentence made me think that it would be really appropriate for both countries to have an official day to honour all the animals that die "in our nation's service", because good grief, we certainly use gazillions of them to service us! And yet, most people don't even give it a second thought. <br /><br Have Gone Veganhttp://www.havegonevegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-56404483528374595272011-06-03T08:07:23.103-05:002011-06-03T08:07:23.103-05:00Thank you for commenting Krissa.

We have become so inured and desensitized to the carnage caused by humans operating automobiles (accidentally and purposely) that for many the dead ones don't seem to exist. It is ugly and horrid....and it is degrading to us to ignore the deaths or pretend they don&veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-49606646892031802342011-06-03T07:59:36.412-05:002011-06-03T07:59:36.412-05:00Thank you for commenting Bea.

What really bothers me are people who swerve just to hit an animal. Turtles, oppossum(so misunderstood) and the kitties. I am so far removed the the mentality of running something over and then laughing or yelling "two points".
