a dose of reality: 14th Apr 2006 - 02:34 GMT
This topic is being beat to death by people without a real grasp on the term "life". this cat/rabbit in the scheme of things is as worthless now as it was when it was alive regardless of if it was a pet to a little girl or some alley cat with mange or a rabbit eating gardens from nice little old ladies (though i doubt they would survive naturally in NY vs the rat population)
Everyday in this world thousands upon thousands of people die from automobile accidents, smoking, electrocution, drug overdoses, malnutrition, cancer, tumors, medical malpractice, and even war. yes ladies and gentleman, even the death of humans is paraded across your television screen to justify the killing of more humans day after day after day since before 85% of us were born at the very least
But, you all, from the safety of your desk and the anonymity of your high speed connection bemaon the death of this one frozen cat/rabbit because you like being the armchair activist in you safety bubble that you aren't in public
Did you know that "Approximately 4 million cats are brutally killed for food each year in China" that's nearly 11,000 per day"? What are you saying about those? Nothing it seems.
Also, "Over 100,000 cats are dissected annually in U.S. high schools" Another 274 dead per day. These are healty cats as well as sick or infected specimens are not suitable for classrom use.
And finally, according to HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States) 1.5-2 million cats are euthanised each year. and the math on that since I'm driving it home is (on the low end) about 4,101 per day.
So the Humane Society of America along with American classroms combined with China, the daily death rate of cats becomes 15,375 per day.
Find some perspective people.
I say, get over it already.
