You may have read the article on the left of the home page about ' Inner City Dog Fighting'.? Of all the kinds of psychological abuse we subject animals to, this is the lowest of the low as far as I am concerned!!
What happens here is that men and woman who are unwilling to deal with their own anger and subsequent violence, select an innocent animal and project it on to the animal...In this case,even going as far as training the dog to live out their violence for them!! How cowardly and yet how immensly sad!! Sad that Humans are so filled with Fear and Hate.
What can those of us who are appalled by such events do?? Well of course, there are bodies such as the RSPCA who have the power to prosecute these individuals but that is not our business .What can you and I do?
I think....in fact I firmly believe that we cannot change others but we can change ourselves....Yes but Jil, we are not the ones training these poor dogs to live out our own anger? True. The one thing we can do however is face our own issues....become more aware, conscious of our behaviours and actions in our everyday lives and in so doing contribute to the all important raising of consciousness of the Human Race. We can become ' watchers' of ourselves.
Have you ever tried this? it's quite fascinating to sit with some friends or family and begin to observe oneself ...absolutely without any judgement....our emotions, reactions, fears ,which may arise during such a social occasion!!! or when we are at work, or on a journey to work....anytime
.Even 5 minutes a day would be a contirbution to a more sane world!! And if you think ' How can one person's efforts make any difference?' Think again!! A Hurricane begins as a small light breeze!!!! A Symphony begins with an idea and a single note on the page.........xx
