There was a news report this evening about a crime committed by a human against a little kitten. The kitten survived but he has a long recovery ahead of him. The term humane is supposed to denote kindness and caring.

Let me try again: <br /><br />What you wrote about sadness and grief caused by what is happening to our fellow beings caused by our "own" pretty well sums up what I am going through this year.

There does seem to be a strong tendency (promoted by the predominant worldview) to minimize or trivialize depictions of natural animal friendships and/or behaviors by seeing them as "adorable" or "cute". <br /><br />Minimizing without seeming to do so is one more way we human animals bolster our misguided and inaccurate sense of "veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-86046884353605423322010-08-25T02:31:20.951-05:002010-08-25T02:31:20.951-05:00It's ironic, before I became Aware (that's...It's ironic, before I became Aware (that's kind of how I think of my own experience of having 'gone vegan') I would probably have smiled and thought "how cute" or "how adorable" and found the videos heartwarming.
