Molly And Callie
Today had to take Callie to the vet. About 2 or 3 days ago, she stopped eating,
today she didn’t look good at all, so, off to the vet. About 3 weeks ago, there was a crew here that
was spraying the hell out of the bushes – no doubt it was some kind of pesticide
– and they were drenching the bushes, as well as the surrounding areas of
gravel, rocks, and walkways. We let both
Molly and Callie go outside to play for a while during the day, they usually
stay pretty close to home, and are usually back within 15 or 20 minutes,
sometimes Molly stays out longer, but Callie is always back in a few
minutes. Anyway, besides Callie having
stopped eating altogether a couple days ago, Molly has been eating noticeably
less than usual – also for the past 2 or 3 days. After the spraying, we kept the cats inside
for about a week, until it rained pretty good, at which time I thought it was
safe for them to go back outside. So,
the cat that is in very good health (Molly) has slowed down her eating, and the
new cat, who was not up to a hundred percent in her health just yet, after
having been severely abused, and starved within inches of her life – for her
whole life of about a year – until she got with us about five weeks ago – has
completely stopped eating. BTW, she is
surprisingly spunky and alert in spite of having not eaten for those few days. The vet did some tests, and found her pretty
close to normal, which indicates that it’s very likely she doesn’t have any
organ dysfunction or serious disease.
While at the vet, I got to thinking about the spraying – which I had
forgotten about until that moment. We
called the company that did the spraying, asked what the name of the chemical
used to spray, and much to my UNsurprise, the answer was, “Oh, that stuff is not harmful,
AND, it absorbs completely into the plant within four hours”. WHAT A BUNCH OF FLAMING BULLSHIT. They make movies and TV shows about this
stuff – about how companies and corporations that poison the air, water,
ground, food, and who rape the land, will NEVER admit to the money mongering,
murderous bullshit that they do. They will
lie, deny, make excuses, make accusations, threaten, and even murder when they
see fit. “Oh, you mean there are kids
being born with their stomachs outside their bodies in the places where we
(Monsanto) have used our chemicals???, OH no, it couldn’t POSSIBLY be anything
WE did, it’s just the natural order of things, or, it’s gotta be something YOU
did”. For crying out fucking loud. When we told the vet what the rep from the
pesticide company said, she got a puzzled look on her face and said, “Hmmmmm,
that’s interesting”, which I took as code for, “Well, that sounds like bullshit
to me". I asked her as I was leaving, “Completely
and absolutely off the record, you didn’t believe that guy’s line of crap
either, did ya?”, her answer was, “Well, it’s (the stuff being absorbed within
four hours) not something I’m familiar with”, which I took as code for, "Nope not a goddam word".
So, the cats will have to stay indoors for a while, and
as always, there’s not a damn thing that I can do about any of this. The sad thing is that this is not the half of
it, there are corporations that are doing horrible things to the planet,
including the air, water, soil, food, and everything else, while they continue
to deny, excuse, make accusations, point fingers, threaten, and murder, in
order to protect their goddam multi billion dollar a year profits. This has become common knowledge. Of course, there are still those who scoff at
it, mock, ridicule, blame, and whatever else, but screw them, their bullshit doesn’t
change facts. Among those facts is that
everybody is sick nowadays, everybody is taking more pills than they can count,
our food is full of chemical bullshit that doesn’t need to be there, and mental
depression is in epidemic proportions. Most of that chemical bullshit wasn’t there 15
years ago, so I don’t see any legitimate reason why it needs to be in
there now. BTW, this includes the cat
food that we buy – there is not a single brand that makes a food that isn’t
full of this crap. The result is that
our pets are now coming down with diabetes, organ dysfunction and failure, and
a whole boatload of diseases and conditions.
When I was a kid, a cat could get distemper or rabies, and that was
about it. So, what the hell is with all
these health problems now – same bullshit – chemicals – the same shit that’s in
the food that we humans must eat – because we don’t have a realistic choice.
As with everything else, I sit here in disbelief, with
not a damn thing to be able to be done about it, and while my body deteriorates
as I write this.
