Hunting Animals :(

I was shocked by an article I read this week in the newspaper. First of all let me tell you that I’m dead set against shooting animals. There always is a solution were you don’t need to put an animal down. What I really hate, are the people who shoot animals just shits and giggles. It’s cruel and IMHO only cowards can pull that off.

Now, I know that History Channel and NGC airing lots of programs in which show animal abuse and even animal killing. I don’t watch the shows, but sometime when I’m not fast enough I see previews and that alone is the stuff of nightmares. How anyone can abuse or kill an innocent animal and sleep at night? Well that’s beyond me!

However I was amazed that a Dutch channel is airing a program that shows elephants getting killed by hunters, just for shits and giggles. We started a campaign to prevent the show from airing, but until now, to no avail. Monsters like that make me sick.

And what is it that everyone was to abuse or kill elephants. These magnificent gentle giants should be able to live their life in peace. The same goes for the tigers and lions and all the other innocent animals who never did anything wrong. It should be prohibited to hunt animals, period!

I feel bad when I have to discipline my little doggie. And be discipline I mean that I speak to him in a firm tone. Luckily for me, I don’t need to discipline him often, he behaves very well. Hell I have rabbits in the garden; they live in rabbit-holes under the porch. Next year we want to renew the porch that means that the rabbits have to go. So I have months to figure out how to renew the porch without burying the rabbits alive. I have to figure out how I can be sure that the rabbit-holes are really, totally and completely empty, no rabbits left! It’s so cute to see them play in garden early mornings and early evenings. Sometimes the rabbits play during the day, but only if Max is in da house LOL. He loves hunting the little rabbits, and he’s fast.

Max once caught a rabbit, I was screaming at him to let go of the rabbit, and guess what, he actually did. I have to say that Max isn’t used to me, yelling at him, he was so shocked that I was yelling at him that he dropped the rabbit and just stared at me LOL

I love animals, all animals; I can’t even kill a spider even though they scare the hell out of me! When there’s a huge spider, I let my hubby catch him and he brings the spider outside, were it belongs. The world is full of monsters that abuse, torture and kill innocent animals. It warms my heart when I see how many people are helping animals in need, love and respect their pets and all other animals. People, who sign petitions to speak up for animals that need it badly, think of animal testing. People, who work in animals-shelters, I worked in an animal shelter for many years, and it was rewarding.
