So I've been feeling all sorts of things lately knowing that even though it's not the end of the world, it still feels like shit. And then I read this. What in the hell is wrong with people? There are so many things wrong with this that I don't know where to begin.
I'm watching a friend's house for a couple days. Goof (her cat) says I must play with her NOW. I'll visit you all when I get back home.

What the fucking fuck?!?!??
I'm sorry. Fuck. The sight of that rhino's butchered face renders me incapable of speech. Fucking assholes.
You're right - there are too many things wrong with that scenario that I can't even begin to talk about it right now.
I hope you are having fun cat/house-sitting - I always loved doing that.
yeah, that story tore my heart too. Also all the stuff about the whale--you know, the one they found a weapon in from over a hundred years ago...because they killed it now..(imagine stomping and screaming).
My kitties send haughty kitty greetings to Goof.
Anne & Jarvenpa - You both targeted the two main emotions that washed over me. I have an incredible amount of anger over this (and similar) situations; the kind that would see me with a machete in hand hacking the fools to bits given the chance. Then there is the deep, profound sadness and sense of loss. There is nothing that prepares you for this and when you are faced with it, I don't think there is any way to temper what you feel. With the whale situation, there are those out there doing a 'happy dance' over 'finding' the old weapon. They apparently miss the irony of that find. These are the things that, every now and then, make me embarassed to be human. They keep me up at night and fill my days with ideas and images that I cannot get out of my head. In the instance of the rhinos, guards were even killed. There is no value placed on life anymore, animal, human or otherwise. I simply don't understand how they can exist with blinders on and go day to day accepting what they do. Is it greed? Ignorance? I don't know, and I hope I never, ever identify with it.
As for the kitty sitting, it's always fun. And Goof just warms right up to people which I think is pretty rare. The down side? A giant spider just ran across the wall about a minute ago at about mach 3; one of those spastic ones that moves so fast it would be off of you before you had the chance to scream. Bright side, Goof will probably eat it. >^^< Goof sends out lots of kitty-love!
Well, your link has been "forbidden by ratings check" by the I.T. guys at work...but after reading your comments, maybe that's a good thing. I don't think I want to see those images.
If they find the people who did it, they should chop them up ALIVE.
i hate that. it's so sad.
Stacy - Consider yourself lucky, it's rather disturbing. I'm all for some serious punishment. There needs to be something to fear for those that cross the line as opposed to the 'hand slap' they have now.
Kate - Very sad and truly unnecessary. I'm just not sure where sense or rationale come in to play, you know?
Dagger handles and a fever reducing ingredient?! How the fuck does this weigh up?
Chitty - Exactly, I mean have they never heard of Aspirin or Tylenol?! If the year was 1836 I could possibly understand. I thought we were smarter; I'm thinking I made a grievous error with that judgement call.
